STATION WAS TO WORK WITH THE DOCTOR.
163
00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,920
I KNOW THAT, VENUS.
OKAY, LOOK. I'M GONNA...
164
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:19,469
I'M GONNA TALK WITH HIM SOME MORE.
MR. CARLSON'S GONNA OFFER HIM A PAY RAISE.
165
00:09:19,526 --> 00:09:21,826
BUT, UH, I'M NOT SO
SURE THAT'S GONNA WORK.
166
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,896
WELL, THERE'S ONLY
ONE THING LEFT TO DO.
167
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:27,565
THE DOCTOR'S OUR FRIEND.
LET'S TRICK HIM INTO STAYING.
168
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:30,068
- HEY, NO, MAN.
- WELL, WHY NOT?
169
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:32,937
BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOOD GUYS
AT ALL, WE'D BE HAPPY FOR JOHNNY.
170
00:09:33,006 --> 00:09:36,774
HE HAS WAITED FIVE YEARS TO GET
THE CHANCE TO GET BACK ON TOP.
171
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:38,776
YEAH. YEAH, I GUESS SO.
172
00:09:38,845 --> 00:09:41,112
HEY.
173
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:43,147
YOU, UH, MIND IF I COME IN?
174
00:09:43,216 --> 00:09:45,416
NOT AT ALL, DOCTOR.
175
00:09:45,484 --> 00:09:47,452
I GUESS YOU HEARD,
HUH? YEAH. YEAH.
176
00:09:47,521 --> 00:09:49,987
I WONDER IF I COULD ASK
A FAVOR OF YOU GUYS?
177
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,822
OH, YEAH, SURE. ANYTHING.
178
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,003
I JUST TALKED TO L.A.
ON THE PHONE AGAIN.
179
00:09:54,027 --> 00:09:57,896
AND-AND THEY NEED ME SOONER. SO I WONDER
IF I COULD LEAVE WITH ONE WEEK'S NOTICE.
180
00:09:57,964 --> 00:10:01,131
UH... WELL... YEAH, OKAY.
181
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,435
I, UH... I GUESS I COULD GO
OUT AND PLAY IN THE SNOW.
182
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:07,172
THE LAST TIME I'LL
EVER SEE THAT JUNK.
183
00:10:08,208 --> 00:10:10,141
YOU MIND IF I LEAVE?
184
00:10:12,913 --> 00:10:15,257
WHAT DO YOU GOT IN MIND?
OKAY, HERE'S THE PLAN.
185
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:17,215
I'LL TAKE NOTES.
186
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:32,763
- BYE.
- YOU GOING HOME, JOHNNY?
187
00:10:32,831 --> 00:10:35,999
YEAH, IT'S, UH, NOON. IT'S
ALMOST PAST MY BEDTIME.
188
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,302
- SLEEP TIGHT.
- YEAH.
189
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:42,974
OH, UH, BY THE WAY, I HAVEN'T
CONGRATULATED YOU YET ON YOUR BIG JOB.
190
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:46,210
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I GUESS
YOU'LL PROBABLY GO OUT THERE...
191
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,147
AND BECOME A BIG PERSONALITY
AND FORGET ALL OF US.
192
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:53,150
NOT... ALL OF YOU.
193
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:55,652
SEE YOU TOMORROW. YEAH. SO LONG.
194
00:10:55,721 --> 00:10:58,555
SO LONG. SO LONG.
195
00:10:58,624 --> 00:11:01,525
BYE. BYE.
196
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,695
BYE.
197
00:11:22,014 --> 00:11:24,048
LET'S GET THIS
STRAIGHTENED OUT RIGHT NOW.
198
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,995
HEY, EVERYBODY. MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?
199
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:29,887
EXCUSE ME.
200
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:32,190
HEY, EVERYBODY... JENNIFER?
201
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,405
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
UH, I THINK WE'VE COME UP...
202
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:39,330
WITH A WAY TO KEEP JOHNNY
FROM GOING TO LOS ANGELES.
203
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,399
WHY?
204
00:11:44,771 --> 00:11:47,872
SO, YOU ALWAYS START
WITH AN AMUSING STORY.
205
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:50,741
ONCE YOU'VE GOT THE AUDIENCE
LAUGHING, THEY'RE PUTTY IN YOUR HANDS.
206
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:53,911
RIGHT. NOW, WHERE ARE
YOUR THREE-BY-FIVE CARDS?
207
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:56,280
WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY?
208
00:11:56,348 --> 00:12:00,050
NO, LES, I DIDN'T THINK THAT
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING...
209
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:03,587
THERE I WAS, YOU
SEE, AT GUADALCANAL.
210
00:12:03,656 --> 00:12:06,089
OR, UH, MAYBE IT WAS MINANOWA.
211
00:12:06,158 --> 00:12:09,660
I DON'T KNOW, BUT THE JAPANESE
WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
212
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,862
WERE YOU ON VACATION?
213
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:14,632
WE BETTER GET GOIN' BEFORE
WE LOSE THE BIG GUY, HUH?
214
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,301
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE
LOST HIM ALREADY. YEAH.
215
00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:20,148
AND THE CHEESE PUFF
WAS JUST SCRUMPTIOUS.
216
00:12:20,172 --> 00:12:22,551
HONEST, ANDY, I THOUGHT WE
WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING OUR WIVES.
217
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,642
IT'S OKAY, HERB.
218
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:26,744
JOHN, I THOUGHT WE WERE
SUPPOSED TO BRING WIVES.
219
00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:30,448
IT'S OKAY, HERB. SO, YOU'RE
OFF TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?
220
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:33,529
YEAH. UH, IS THAT A REAL
BUTTER PATTY THERE?
221
00:12:33,553 --> 00:12:36,420
I DON'T KNOW. UH, WHY
DON'T YOU EAT ONE? OH!
222
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:39,623
EXCUSE ME.
223
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,725
UM, YOU ALL KNOW
WHY WE'RE HERE...
224
00:12:41,794 --> 00:12:44,128
TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO OUR
DEAR FRIEND, DR. JOHNNY FEVER.
225
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:50,467
AND WE ALL WANNA WISH HIM
THE VERY BEST AT HIS NEW STATION.
226
00:12:52,604 --> 00:12:56,006
SO, TO GET THIS TESTIMONIAL
STARTED, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE...
227
00:12:56,075 --> 00:12:59,076
THE GUY WHO REALLY
HOLDS WKRP TOGETHER.
228
00:13:00,146 --> 00:13:02,586
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
229
00:13:03,349 --> 00:13:05,282
EXCUSE ME.
230
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:14,659
NICE MAN, THAT HERB.
231
00:13:14,727 --> 00:13:17,194
THERE ARE, UH, ONE
OR TWO THINGS...
232
00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:21,465
I THINK NEED TO BE
SAID HERE, AS I SEE IT.
233
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:23,600
FIRST OF ALL, JOHNNY,
234
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:26,470
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT
WE'RE DARN PROUD OF YOU...
235
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:29,673
FOR LANDING THAT
BIG FISH... OF SUCCESS.
236
00:13:32,778 --> 00:13:35,445
NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE IN CALIFORNIA...
237
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:39,383
GONNA TELL YOU THAT FISHING IN CALIFORNIA
IS BETTER THAN IT IS IN CINCINNATI.
238
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:41,384
I GOT ONE THING
TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
239
00:13:48,928 --> 00:13:50,939
YOU GOTTA GO "FREEP
DEA SISHING" OUT THERE.
240
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:54,198
UH, UH, WHATEVER IT IS. THEY
PUT YOU IN THOSE LITTLE BOATS,
241
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:57,968
AND THEY DRAG YOU OFF THE COAST OUT THERE,
AND THEY SET YOU IN A HOT SUMMER SUN.
242
00:13:58,037 --> 00:14:01,671
YOU GET WET AND STICKY,
AND IT'S A SMELLY BAIT AND...
243
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:05,508
IT'S TERRIBLE. GIVE ME A ROD
AND A REEL AND THE OLD OHIO...
244
00:14:05,577 --> 00:14:07,911
OR A NEARBY LAKE,
AND I'M A HAPPY MAN.
245
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:12,950
I'LL BE A SON OF A GUN.
246
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:16,253
DO YOU KNOW THAT
THIS IS THE VERY ROOM...
247
00:14:16,321 --> 00:14:19,489
IN WHICH THE ROTARIANS
PRESENTED ME...
248
00:14:19,558 --> 00:14:22,592
WITH THE ROTARIAN
OF THE WEEK AWARD?
249
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:25,929
I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT
LUNCHEON AS LONG AS I LIVE.
250
00:14:25,998 --> 00:14:27,931
THAT WAS SOME LUNCHEON.
251
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,167
THAT WAS SOME
LUNCHEON. I'LL TELL YA.
252
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:33,036
IT'S ONE FOR THE MEMORY BOOKS.
253
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,512
WELL, WE'RE OFF TO
AN ELECTRIFYING START.
254
00:14:42,581 --> 00:14:46,783
SO, UH, NOW LET'S HAVE ONE OF
THE HIGH SPOTS OF THE EVENING.
255
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:49,452
OUR OWN LES NESSMAN,
AS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW,
256
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:51,655
WAS A PAST PRESIDENT OF...
257
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:54,591
THE CINCINNATI CHAPTER OF THE
SPEECHMAKERS CLUB OF AMERICA.
258
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,572
OH!
259
00:14:56,596 --> 00:15:00,263
AND AS SUCH, TRAVELED UP
AND DOWN THE OHIO VALLEY,
260
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:02,378
SPEAKING TO ANYONE
THAT WOULD LISTEN.
261
00:15:04,336 --> 00:15:08,038
SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR OWN
TOASTMASTER GENERAL, MR. LES NESSMAN!
262
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:14,111
GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.
263
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:17,447
I HAVE SET ASIDE
MY USUAL SPEECH,
264
00:15:17,516 --> 00:15:20,818
"THE RED MENACE IN
OUR OWN BACKYARD,"
265
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:24,621
IN ORDER TO PAY TRIBUTE
TO DR. JOHN FEVER,
266
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:27,257
WHICH BRINGS TO MIND
AN AMUSING STORY...
267
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:30,995
- OKAY, WHO WANTS
STRAWBERRY TARTS?
- OVER HERE. OVER HERE. UH-HUH.
268
00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:36,900
AS I WAS SAYING, IT
HAS BEEN MY PLEASURE...
269
00:15:36,969 --> 00:15:38,947
THEY'RE REAL
LITTLE, HONEY. OH...
270
00:15:38,971 --> 00:15:42,205
WE DON'T CARE. I SHALL CONTINUE.
271
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:44,508
TART? LEAVE ME ALONE!
272
00:15:44,577 --> 00:15:46,710
SUIT YOURSELF.
273
00:15:48,947 --> 00:15:51,648
NOW, YOU MAY BE ASKING
YOURSELF, "HOW CAN I,
274
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:55,385
"AN OHIO FARMER,
AFFECT POLICY IN PEKING?
275
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:57,588
I'M ONLY ONE MAN."
276
00:15:57,656 --> 00:15:59,590
THIS IS THE WRONG SPEECH.
277
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:06,330
LES... M-MY CARDS ARE ALL
MIXED UP. IT'S BAILEY'S FAULT.
278
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:08,743
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST WING IT? WING IT?
279
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:10,800
YEAH. WE NEVER WING IT, VENUS.
280
00:16:10,869 --> 00:16:14,838
THAT'S SPEECHMAKERS RULE NUMBER
ONE. "ALWAYS COME PREPARED."
281
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:18,709
OKAY. WE'RE REALLY ROLLING
NOW, AREN'T WE, FOLKS?
282
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:21,923
AND NOW, LET'S HAVE A WORD FROM
THAT PERSON WHO DID SO MUCH...
283
00:16:21,947 --> 00:16:25,382
IN HELPING US PLAN THIS
BANQUET, MISS BAILEY QUARTERS.
284
00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:34,224
UM, I... I JUST WANTED TO
SAY, UM, THANKS, JOHNNY.
285
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:38,795
WHEN I FIRST CAME
TO WKRP, I, UH...
286
00:16:38,864 --> 00:16:41,998
I DIDN'T KNOW A THING
ABOUT A RADIO STATION.
287
00:16:42,067 --> 00:16:46,704
AND I GUESS I WAS JUST
A LITTLE SHY BACK THEN.
288
00:16:50,209 --> 00:16:54,077
BUT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO
SHOW ME THE ROPES, AND...
289
00:16:54,146 --> 00:16:57,448
AND YOU GAVE ME THE KIND
OF CONFIDENCE I NEEDED.
290
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:00,517
YOU'RE A REAL FRIEND, JOHNNY,
291
00:17:00,586 --> 00:17:02,586
AND I WISH YOU WOULDN'T GO.
292
00:17:02,654 --> 00:17:05,822
WHEN I THINK OF WKRP, I...
293
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:07,891
WELL, I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU.
294
00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:11,461
I GUESS I ALWAYS WILL.
295
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,040
IS IT WORKIN'? IS HE GONNA STAY?
296
00:17:21,339 --> 00:17:25,041
NEXT, LET'S HAVE A WORD FROM THE
WORLD'S GREATEST SALES MANAGER,
297
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:27,110
HERB TARLEK!
298
00:17:33,085 --> 00:17:36,920
I'D, UH, LIKE TO BEGIN
BY SAYING THAT, UH,
299
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:39,423
I THOUGHT WE WERE
SUPPOSED TO BRING OUR WIVES.
300
00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:45,095
I MEAN, UH, IF I'D HAVE KNOW NONE
OF YOU WERE BRINGING YOUR WIVES,
301
00:17:45,164 --> 00:17:47,998
I WOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT MINE.
302
00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:50,534
I WENT TO A COSTUME PARTY ONCE.
303
00:17:50,602 --> 00:17:52,536
BUT IT WASN'T.
304
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:56,206
EVERYBODY ELSE WAS IN REGULAR
CLOTHES, AND I WAS IN THE RABBIT SUIT.
305
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:00,110
ANYWAY, JOHN,
YOU'RE REALLY GREAT.
306
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:02,479
WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU.
OH, PLEASE DON'T GO.
307
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:06,683
HOW'S THAT? GREAT,
HERB. REAL FINE.
308
00:18:08,354 --> 00:18:12,188
WELL, UH, WE'VE BEEN KINDA
SAVIN' THE BEST TILL NOW, JOHNNY.
309
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:17,126
HERE'S THE ONE PERSON NO MAN IN
HIS RIGHT MIND COULD SAY GOOD-BYE TO,
310
00:18:17,195 --> 00:18:19,128
JENNIFER MARLOWE.
311
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:30,273
IN MANY WAYS, I
THINK I'M GOING TO...
312
00:18:30,343 --> 00:18:33,844
MISS JOHNNY MORE THAN
ANYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM.
313
00:18:33,912 --> 00:18:37,180
YOU SEE, I TOO...
314
00:18:39,417 --> 00:18:43,453
I TOO HAVE... OH, I GUESS
WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL MY OWN...
315
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:46,423
PRIVATE ROMANTIC FANTASIES.
316
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:50,393
I KNOW THIS...
317
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:53,330
THIS REALLY ISN'T THE TIME
OR PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IT,
318
00:18:53,398 --> 00:18:57,100
OUT HERE IN FRONT
OF ALL THESE PEOPLE,
319
00:18:57,169 --> 00:19:00,337
BUT LET ME SAY THIS...
320
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:03,006
I'M REALLY GOING
TO MISS YOU, JOHNNY.
321
00:19:12,617 --> 00:19:14,651
OH, YEAH! UH...
322
00:19:16,021 --> 00:19:18,655
UH... AND, UH, FINALLY,
323

BUT, UH... WELL, MAN,

00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:10,140
WE DID IT OUT OF LOVE.
336
00:20:16,515 --> 00:20:20,517
JOHNNY, MY MAN, UH, THIS
SCAM WAS MY IDEA, AND I'M SORRY.
337
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:24,154
UH, SO INSTEAD OF READING
THIS SPEECH I HAVE HERE,
338
00:20:24,222 --> 00:20:26,857
LET ME JUST SAY THAT WE

341
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:35,298
BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I GUESS
WE DO FEEL KIND OF ASHAMED HERE.
342
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:38,128
I KNOW THAT'S KIND OF
THE WAY I FEEL RIGHT NOW.
343
00:20:40,339 --> 00:20:42,419
HEY, LOOK, DON'T
FEEL THAT WAY, OKAY?
344
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:45,675
I MEAN, UH, IT'S A GREAT PARTY,
YOU KNOW. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
345
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:48,890
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE
ANYBODY WENT TO THIS MUCH TROUBLE...
346
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:50,881
TO LIE TO ME.
347
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:53,917
AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
348
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:59,122
I... I THINK THAT I OWE
ALL OF YOU AN APOLOGY.
349

00:21:16,641 --> 00:21:20,710
I'M... I'M WITH MY FRIENDS.

357
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:55,545
WELL... WELL, IS THE
GUEST OF HONOR LEAVING...
358
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:58,514
BEFORE HE HAS HIS DESSERT?
359
00:21:58,583 --> 00:22:00,929
I DON'T THINK WE LOST THE
GUEST OF HONOR AT ALL.
360
00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:03,820
WE DID IT, MAN. WE DID IT. I
THINK IT LOOKS THAT WAY.
361
00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:05,856
HEY, EVERYBODY,
I FOUND MY CARDS.
362
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:07,902
I FOUND MY SPEECH. OKAY.
363
00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:09,993
LISTEN TO THIS.
364
00:22:10,061 --> 00:22:15,064
WE ARE GATHERED HERE TONIGHT
TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO ONE SWELL GUY.
365
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:17,167
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
366
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:23,740
- WELL?
- ANDY, HE DIDN'T
COME IN THIS MORNING.
367
00:22:23,808 --> 00:22:25,753
- WELL, THE BACKUP
MAN'S ON, RIGHT?
- YEAH.
368
00:22:25,777 --> 00:22:29,078
IS HE ON? HE DIDN'T SHOW UP.
369
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:32,415
OH, WELL, DON'T WORRY. I
KNOW JOHNNY'S GONNA BE BACK.
370
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:35,318
HE'S BEEN LATE
BEFORE, HASN'T HE?
371
00:22:35,387 --> 00:22:38,099
OH. HEY, I THINK I SAW
JOHNNY'S CAR IN THE LOT.
372
00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:40,134
HE'S NOT HERE YET.
DON'T WORRY. HE'LL BE IN.
373
00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:42,303
YOU SAW THAT LOOK
ON HIS FACE LAST NIGHT.
374
00:22:42,327 --> 00:22:44,828
THAT'S RIGHT. IT WAS
A BIG NIGHT LAST NIGHT,
375
00:22:44,896 --> 00:22:48,031
AND HE KNEW WE WERE GONNA HAVE A
SUBSTITUTE DEEJAY ON THIS MORNING.
376
00:22:48,099 --> 00:22:50,801
HE JUST SLEPT A LITTLE LATE.
DID YOU CALL HIS APARTMENT?
377
00:22:50,869 --> 00:22:53,436
- NO ANSWER.
- HE'S GONNA BE RIGHT
THROUGH THAT DOOR ANY MINUTE.
378
00:22:53,505 --> 00:22:56,017
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. RIGHT,
ANDY? YOU'RE RIGHT, HERB.
379
00:22:56,041 --> 00:23:00,109
HE'S GONNA WALK THROUGH
THAT DOOR RIGHT ABOUT...
380
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:02,446
