HELLO. MR. MORRISON?

HOW ARE YOU TODAY, SIR? I'M HERB TARLEK, GENERAL SALES MANAGER OF WKRP A.M. RADIO.

YEAH, I'M, UH, CALLING TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE

MORRISON TIRE COMPANY ADVERTISING ACCOUNT.

YES, SIR. UH, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED ADVERTISING ON OUR RADIO STATION?

WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER ADVERTISING ON OUR RADIO STATION?

OKAY, FINE.

THAT'S IT. I'M BUSHED.

- WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIES, LES? - I'M BUSY, HERB.

HEY, THERE'S A NEW SHOW AT THE PARIS THEATER, KICK ME, KISS ME,

AND IT'S IN 3-D.

I'D RATHER NOT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SUIT YOURSELF, MR. BORING, BUT THIS IS ONE GUY WHO'S NOT GONNA THROW HIS LIFE AWAY.

HERB? HMM?

- WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO YOUR JOB? - WHAT?

YOU HEARD ME.

LOOK, BAILEY, I JUST DID. I ASKED MR. MORRISON IF I COULD SELL HIM SOMETHING.

HE SAID NO. THAT'S IT.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL SOMEBODY ELSE?

BAILEY, IT'S NOT THAT EASY. BELIEVE ME.

IF YOU COULD GET SOME NEW ACCOUNTS, THEN WE COULD ALL GET RAISES.

AND-AND LES... LES COULD BUY THE TRAFFIC HELICOPTER HE ALWAYS WANTED.

MAKE A CALL, HERB.

I'LL CALL TOMORROW. KICK ME, KISS ME STARTS IN 15 MINUTES, AND I'M...

MAKE A CALL. LOOK, IF YOU MISS THE BEGINNING OF THESE SHOWS,

I WON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

MAKE A CALL, HERB. NOW.

THANKS.

HELLO. HERB TARLEK HERE, GENERAL SALES MANAGER.

MR. FERRYMAN.

YES, SIR. HOW ARE YOU, SIR?

YEAH, WELL, THANKS FOR RETURNING MY CALL.

LUNCH? SURE. SAY, UH... UH, 12:00?

SURE. YOU BET, SIR.

UH, NO-NO, SIR. NO, SIR. CERTAINLY, SIR.

SIR? OH! YES, SIR. R-RIGHT.

SEE YOU, SIR.

- WHO WAS THAT? - WHO WAS THAT?

THAT WAS MR. RANDALL FERRYMAN,

OWNER OF ONE OF THE LARGEST FUNERAL HOME CHAINS IN THE COUNTRY.

- DOES HE HAVE A BIG ADVERTISING ACCOUNT? - THE BIGGEST.

AND HE'S ON HIS WAY TO CINCINNATI TO... BURY US ALL.

OOH!

HERB, WHY WOULD A CHAIN OF FUNERAL HOMES WANNA ADVERTISE ON A ROCK-AND-ROLL STATION?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE.

JUST BE CALM AND PRETEND WE DON'T NEED THE BUSINESS, OKAY?

MY. COMMISSION CITY, OPEN YOUR PEARLY GATES TO HERB TARLEK AND SAY...

THERE'S A DEAD MAN IN THE LOBBY.

THAT'S FERRYMAN.

I DON'T THINK I LIKE THE SOUND OF THIS.

OH, THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH A FUNERAL HOME ACCOUNT, TRAVIS.

MR. CARLSON, MEET MR. FERRYMAN.

MR. FERRYMAN, THIS IS MR. CARLSON, OUR CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER...

AND PRESIDENT OF WKRP ENTERPRISES.

OH, AND THIS IS ANDY TRAVIS, VICE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF PROGRAMMING.

GENTLEMEN, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

UH... HAVE A SEAT, SIR.

UH-UH, SIT DOWN RIGHT HERE. JUST, UH, MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.

UH, CAN I, UH, GET YOU A CIGAR?

THAT WOULD BE NICE. CIGAR.

I DON'T HAVE ANY CIGARS. TRAVIS?

UH, EXCUSE ME, SIR.

CIGARS!

GENTLEMEN, I'LL COME STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.

DO IT.

I HAVE JUST OPENED A CHAIN OF SIX FUNERAL HOMES IN CINCINNATI.

I WANT TO ADVERTISE.

UH, YEAH. ON A ROCK-AND-ROLL STATION?

YES. THAT'S HOW I DID IT IN CALIFORNIA.

YOU SEE, I'M A VOLUME DEALER.

I'VE GOT TO MOVE THEM IN AND MOVE THEM OUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, PEOPLE AREN'T DYING FAST ENOUGH NOWADAYS.

IT'S A PROBLEM.

SO, NOWADAYS, I'M MOSTLY SELLING PRE-NEED TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

MOST OF YOUR LISTENERS ARE YOUNG?

UH, YEAH, MOST OF 'EM.

AND, UH, BUYING A CEMETERY PLOT WOULD BE THE LAST THING ON THEIR MINDS?

WELL, I'D SAY IT'D BE PRETTY FAR DOWN THE LIST, YEAH. YEAH.

SO WHY NOT BUY AHEAD OF TIME? WOULDN'T THAT SAVE THEM A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY?

WOULDN'T THAT BE A NICE HEDGE AGAINST INFLATION?

GENTLEMEN. IT SURE WOULD.

MY BROCHURE. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. IT'S HEAVY.

IN MY BUSINESS, PEOPLE WANT HEAVY.

"OVER 6,000 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS"?

THAT'S YOUR SLOGAN?

YES. BUT I NEED SOMETHING NEW.

YOU GENTLEMEN COME UP WITH SOMETHING.

NO PROBLEM. YEAH.

I THINK, UH, WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING HERE. UH...

HOW ABOUT, UH... HOW ABOUT THIS?

MUSIC COMES UP.

I'M AMAZED THAT YOU CAN ALL SING SO WELL TOGETHER.

YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR THE FINE JOB THAT YOU DID.

HEY, CAN I SEE YOU FOR A SECOND, ANDY? WELL, SURE THING.

THEY HAVE GONE TO TALK ABOUT RAISES.

SOMETHING'S WRONG. WHAT, IS FERRYMAN UPSET?

WELL, I'D SAY THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD WORD FOR IT. HE'S, UH... HE'S VERY UPSET.

- WELL, WHY? WHAT DOES HE WANT? - SIT DOWN, ANDY.

I'VE TOLD YOU I WANTED THIS RADIO STATION TO MAKE MONEY.

OF COURSE, I'VE BEEN ON YOUR BACK ABOUT THAT PRACTICALLY ALL THE TIME.

- WELL, WHY IS HE UPSET? - THIS FERRYMAN ACCOUNT IS THE BIGGEST THING...

THAT'S COME IN TO THIS STATION IN YEARS.

I'VE DREAMED. I MEAN THAT.

I'VE LITERALLY DREAMED, WAITING FOR SOMEBODY WITH THAT MUCH CASH TO COME TO US.

DON'T WORRY. IF FERRYMAN'S UPSET, WE'RE GONNA STRAIGHTEN THIS WHOLE THING OUT.

ANDY, ANDY, LISTEN. I WANT YOU TO KNOW I REALLY LIKE THE SONG.

I THINK THE JOB THAT EVERYBODY DID ON THAT THING WAS MARVELOUS.

I MEAN, REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY INVOLVED.

HUH? LOOK, I WANNA BE A WINNER AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY.

HUH. I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE PEOPLE IN RADIO IN THIS TOWN RESPECT US FOR WHAT WE DO.

WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO IS BE ABLE TO BUY MY WIFE A FUR COAT...

AND MAYBE TAKE HER ON ONE OF THOSE SPECIAL, YOU KNOW, LITTLE VACATIONS.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T... MR. CARLSON.

YOU RESIGNED THE ACCOUNT, DIDN'T YOU?

I DID, YEAH.

OH, MR. CARLSON.

THERE'S A LOT OF ROCK-AND-ROLL STATIONS IN CINCINNATI. WHY'D YOU PICK OURS?
