00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:10,409
Morning.
2
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:12,677
Bailey said you wanted
To see me about something.
3
00:00:16,517 --> 00:00:19,662
You weren't by any chance listening
To my show this morning, were you?
4
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:21,887
- oh, yeah.
- I just want to say up front
5
00:00:21,956 --> 00:00:25,523
That I meant no offense
To mr. Carlson's mother.
6
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:31,096
I wasn't using
"Blood-sucker" in a bad way.
7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,101
All right. All right,
What is so important
8
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:37,936
That it couldn't wait?
9
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:39,871
Sit down, herb.
10
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,550
Andy.
11
00:00:51,618 --> 00:00:54,064

He wanted to see you.
- what's going on, andy?
12
00:00:54,088 --> 00:00:56,954
- where's mr. Carlson?
- he's busy in his office.
13
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:59,858

- I'll sit here.
14
00:00:59,927 --> 00:01:01,259
Fine.
15

All right.
16
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:05,831
The reason I called
This little meeting...
17
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:13,104
The reason I called
This little meeting
18
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:15,474
Is because of the ratings.
19
00:01:21,215 --> 00:01:23,682
That's right... The new book.
20
00:01:23,751 --> 00:01:25,728
We weren't supposed to
Get that till next week.
21
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:28,920
No. No, we got it this morning.
22
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:31,189
There's gonna be
A lot of changes.
23
00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:35,293
finito, huh, travis?
24
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:37,930
Yeah, I've sensed it on
The street for weeks now.
25
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:45,170
Number six. We came
Up to number six!
26
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:46,883
- can you believe that?
- six! Ha!
27
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:49,841
I knew it was good,
But nothing like this.
28
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:51,376
How'd the news do?
29
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:53,344
Can you believe all this? Huh?
30
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:54,858
What about evening drive time?
31
00:01:54,882 --> 00:01:56,759
You're number three
Overall; you're number one
32
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,423
With women 18 to 35.
33
00:01:58,452 --> 00:02:01,653
- how'd the news do?
- uh, johnny?
34
00:02:01,722 --> 00:02:04,589
- don't tell me.
- number one all the way, pal.
35
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:07,358
- did you hear that, 'trap?
- oh, way to go, andy!
36
00:02:07,427 --> 00:02:10,662
- "Andy"? Oh, look at this.
- how did the news do, andy?
37
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:13,098
I don't have to make
Sales calls anymore.
38
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:15,311
Just hang around here all day,
And the phone will ring off the wall.
39
00:02:15,335 --> 00:02:17,269
- andy, how did news do?
- yeah.
40
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:21,406

On a top-40 rocker. Don't worry about it.

Hug the program director

Station in cinci, huh?

Andy, there is a
Man in the lobby

Somewhere in private, huh?

Mr. Von sanker,
What is this story
69
00:04:02,209 --> 00:04:04,354
I hear about your being
The new news director?
70
00:04:04,378 --> 00:04:06,978
"Story"? I don't understand.
71
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:09,281
Mrs. Carlson hired you?
72
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:11,917
That's right. I
Start in two weeks.
73
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:14,820
I flew in early to find a house.
74

My wife is packing in fargo.

Busy right now.

Excuse me a second.
Les, come over here.

00:04:34,575 --> 00:04:36,041
What is it, les?
82
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:39,277
Is it true my news ratings
Are sucking canal water?
83
00:04:41,247 --> 00:04:43,181
Les, I never said that.
84
00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:46,585
- that twit herb did.
- he was stupid for saying so.
85

You said, "Don't worry."
I almost have it on tape.
86

Les, go to my office
And wait for me.
87

Replacing anyone just yet.

You want me to tell him?
94
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:12,610
I think I would like to talk
With mrs. Carlson first.
95

A charming woman.

Go somewhere and wait, all right?

Mrs. Carlson was generous
Enough to pay for that.
100
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,326
In fact, in my entire life,
I've never met a woman
101

As honest and kind
And straightforward

About a major problem?
171
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:04,008
- oh, yes, ma'am.
- what's my son done this time?
172
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:06,143
No, it's not your son. No.
173
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:10,482
- tarlek.
- no, ma'am. Charles von sanker.
174
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,750
Oh, dear.
175
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:15,820
Yes. He walked into the
Station this afternoon
176
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,933
And announced he was
The new news director,
177
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:19,635
And that was news to me.
178
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:22,460
I'm sorry, andrew.
179
00:09:22,529 --> 00:09:24,340
You were eventually
Going to tell me, right?
180
00:09:24,364 --> 00:09:28,032
Look, this is a very
Difficult decision for me.
181
00:09:28,101 --> 00:09:30,235
What is this,
Dictator's remorse?
182
00:09:30,304 --> 00:09:33,304
I had planned to discuss
This with you next week.
183
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:36,975
Let's discuss it now. Can you give me
Three reasons why les should be fired?
184
00:09:37,043 --> 00:09:41,012
Yes, he's incompetent,
Unprofessional, and very weird.
185
00:09:42,616 --> 00:09:43,982
Well, yeah.
186
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,452
- I don't plan to fire les.
- you don't?
187
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,354
I want to show you something.
188
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:52,223
Are you familiar with
189
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:54,993
Sackler, selman, and cardone?
190
00:09:55,061 --> 00:09:57,728
Yes, they're a bunch of
Programming consultants.
191
00:09:57,797 --> 00:10:00,732
A very expensive bunch
192
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,033
Of programming consultants.
193
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:07,037
665 pages on the
Cincinnati market
194
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:09,640
And wkrp's place in it.
195
00:10:09,709 --> 00:10:12,543
So it's a thick book?
196
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:15,646
Would you care to
Read the last paragraph
197
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:17,915
Of the recommendations chapter?
198
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:19,483
No, I would not.
199
00:10:19,553 --> 00:10:21,273
Well, then, I'll read it.
200
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:27,058
"Wkrp's top-40
Audience is at its peak.
201
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:29,126
"The sound quality
Of the a.M. Signal
202
00:10:29,162 --> 00:10:31,195
"Cannot compete
With f.M. Stations.
203
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:34,899
"If wkrp is to remain
Profitable in the long run,
204
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:38,502
"We recommend changing
To a non-music format:
205
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:40,639
All-news."
206
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:46,778
"All-news"?
207
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:50,192
Well, I-I don't know
The first thing
208
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:52,316
About programming
An all-news station.
209
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:55,020
That's why I hired
Mr. Von sanker.
210
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:04,695
All-news. All-news.
211
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,884
That is the most
Ridiculous thing I've heard
212
00:11:06,933 --> 00:11:11,036
Since herb tarlek's
"Dancing duck" promotion.
213
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,672
Does this book
Say that cincinnati
214
00:11:14,741 --> 00:11:16,708
Already has an all-news station?
215
00:11:16,776 --> 00:11:19,044
Look, we'll be losing
Money the first 18 months.
216
00:11:19,112 --> 00:11:21,345
We're finally making
Some profit here.
217
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:23,281
We just got the ratings book.
218
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:25,350
- we're number six.
- it doesn't matter.
219
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:29,320
This does not make any sense.
220
00:11:29,389 --> 00:11:31,367
We're finally making
Some money here.
221
00:11:31,391 --> 00:11:33,191
With news, I can make more.
222
00:11:33,259 --> 00:11:35,499
By turning the station
Over to charles von sanker?
223
00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:37,473
What does he got
Besides adenoids?
224
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:39,377
He comes very
Highly recommended.
225
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:40,943
- from where?
- fargo.
226
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:44,068
F-fargo? From fargo?
227
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:47,004
Yes. And where
Did I hire you from?
228
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:49,407
From santa fe.
229
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:52,009
What? It's one of
The top... 70 markets
230
00:11:52,078 --> 00:11:55,180
In the united states of america.
231
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:58,783
Are you through?
232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Well, you tell me.
233
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:10,627
Here he is.
234
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:12,474
You missed quite a celebration,
235
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:14,577
And the best part is, herb
Got stuck with the bill.
236
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:16,901
There's our guest of honor.
237
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,304
- where the hell you been?
- it was great, andy.
238
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:21,606
Even johnny toasted
Old lady carlson.
239
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:23,554
"To the gracious blood-sucker."
240
00:12:24,611 --> 00:12:26,678
I expect $22.53
From each of you.
241
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,579
Andy, you don't have to pay.
242
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,459
- herb, here's my money.
- thanks, les.
243
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:33,095
May I say something to everyone? I
Just got back from mrs. Carlson's.
244
00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:35,097
It seems to be over.
Starting next week,
245
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:36,632
She wants to change the format.
246
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:38,789
Next week, no
More rock and roll.
247
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:41,492
You're putting us on. Come on.
248
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:44,095
No, I'm not. I wish I was.
249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,068
It's a business decision.
250
00:12:50,136 --> 00:12:52,003
Wait-wait a minute.
251
00:12:52,072 --> 00:12:54,539
How does this affect me?
252
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,345
What kind of format?
253
00:13:01,414 --> 00:13:03,947
24 hours a day, you have news.
254
00:13:04,017 --> 00:13:06,050
Ooh!
255
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:09,087
I'm supposed to tell everybody
That you're welcome to stay
256
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:11,689
And be a part of the new wkrp,
257
00:13:11,757 --> 00:13:13,992
The information station.
258
00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:16,694
There's jobs for all of you.
259
00:13:16,763 --> 00:13:18,796
Andy, can't we do anything?
260
00:13:18,865 --> 00:13:21,432
Yeah, let's walk.
Let's shut 'er down.
261
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:24,468
I already told her if we didn't
Do things my way, I was gone.
262
00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:26,604
And?
263
00:13:36,082 --> 00:13:38,115
All right, what did I miss?
264
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:42,587
♪♪
265
00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,292
Ah.
266
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:50,627
Yo.
267
00:13:50,697 --> 00:13:54,532
It's 7:30 p.M. Here,
My children.
268
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:57,268
This is venus on krp...
269
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,336
For a while, at least.
270
00:14:02,442 --> 00:14:05,409
So did she say how
Much profit is enough?
271
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:08,746
She just kept tapping this thick
Book as though it had all the answers.
272
00:14:08,815 --> 00:14:11,215
Statistics, right?
273
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:12,784
I don't trust 'em.
274
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,553
Statistically speaking,
275
00:14:15,622 --> 00:14:18,289
Anybody who has led
The kind of life that I had
276
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:20,725
Should look completely wasted.
277
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,866
So there is money in news. I
Don't want any part of that.
278
00:14:28,935 --> 00:14:30,913
No, no money. She ain't
Gonna make any money
279
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:33,437
At least for the
First couple of years.
280
00:14:33,506 --> 00:14:35,466
Come on. She's
Gonna lose her skirt.
281
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:37,708
I'll tell you another statistic.
282
00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,911
Did you know supposedly
283
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:43,113
Three out of four
Teenagers in america today
284
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:47,351
Think that chuck berry was
The host of the gong show?
285
00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:54,792
- hi, guys.
- a.C.
286
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:56,861
Uh, andy,
287
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,898
I just had a little
Talk with mother.
288
00:14:59,966 --> 00:15:01,699
Ooh. Here you go.
289
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:04,669
Oh... No, no, thanks.
290
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,838
- so I'm still gone, huh?
- well, no, not exactly.
291
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:11,742
Mother would like for you to stay on
As a public relations director at krp.
292
00:15:11,811 --> 00:15:16,147
- you're kidding.
- why not a choice assignment,
Like krp's traffic reporter?
293
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:17,895
Venus has got that job.
294
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,387
Only during the rush hour.
295
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:27,036
Mama's not trying to hurt
Us. Wants you to know that.
296
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:29,894
Just wants us to be number
One. And what's wrong with that?
297
00:15:29,963 --> 00:15:31,662
I hate traffic!
298
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:33,851
She just wants us to
Be up there at the top.
299
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,312
If mother's said to me once,
She's said to me a dozen times,
300
00:15:36,336 --> 00:15:38,314
"Arthur, I want you to
Be the general manager
301
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:40,838
Of the number-one
Radio station in this city."
302
00:15:40,907 --> 00:15:42,667
So you're leaving too, huh?
303
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,445
Look, travis, being number one
304
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:49,514
Is the american way.
305
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:52,917
- look at our bengals,
For example. Huh?
- lost the super bowl.
306
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:54,919
Well, yeah, but you see,
307
00:15:54,988 --> 00:15:57,855
Football's still the number-one
Spectator sport in the world.
308
00:15:57,924 --> 00:15:59,690
Nuh-uh. Soccer.
309
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:01,439
- "S-soccer"?
- soccer.
310
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:04,028
Were you this effective
With your mother?
311
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,299
Look, I'm just trying
To make a point, fever.
312
00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:11,068
Well, so am I. Excuse me.
313
00:16:12,772 --> 00:16:14,471
I...
314
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:20,477
Ah.
315
00:16:20,547 --> 00:16:22,580
I'll get it.
316
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:28,519
No need for you to be disturbed.
317
00:16:28,588 --> 00:16:32,389
Mrs. Carlson: what?
318
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:36,026
No, no, no. Madam does
Not believe in handouts. No.
319
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:39,596
No, no, just tell her johnny
Fever dropped by for a little chat.
320
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:41,832
Johnny fever.
321
00:16:41,901 --> 00:16:43,445
You're the deejay
Who's caused her
322
00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:45,870
So much discomfort
Over the years.
323
00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:48,405
Please make
Yourself comfortable.
324
00:16:50,609 --> 00:16:54,511
You must be... The houseboy.
325
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:59,650
I'll interrupt madam's
Meditation on the veranda.
326
00:16:59,718 --> 00:17:01,753
It is "Doctor johnny fever"?
327
00:17:01,821 --> 00:17:03,821
- yes.
- mm-hmm.
328
00:17:06,593 --> 00:17:09,394
Madam, your physician is here.
329
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:16,600
Dr. Tyler, how nice.
330
00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:17,968
Fever.
331
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,337
Mrs. Carlson.
332
00:17:20,406 --> 00:17:23,474
I, uh, just happened to be on
The wrong side of the tracks
333
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,309
And thought I'd drop by.
334
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:28,446
If you're here to make the
Humanitarian appeal, forget it.
335
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:31,816
- travis beat you to it.
- no, I'd never try
That with you.
336
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:35,886
- good night, dr. Fever.
- I don't intend to leave until
I've said what's on my mind.
337
00:17:35,955 --> 00:17:38,422
What mind?
338
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:40,169
Okay, till you're
Ready to listen,
339
00:17:40,193 --> 00:17:42,393
I'll just stretch out
Here on the coffee table.
340
00:17:42,462 --> 00:17:45,529
- very prone.
- I'll fire you.
341
00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:47,531
Oh, come on. I've been fired by
342
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,367
Some of the best
People in radio.
343
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:54,138
- okay. Make it short.
- well...
344
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:56,107
And get off my table.
345
00:17:57,876 --> 00:18:01,712
Well, uh, just by way
Of an icebreaker, I...
346
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,921
I realize that changing
Formats was a business decision.
347
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:13,469
- that's right.
- you didn't do it
To hurt anybody.
348
00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:15,971
- that's right.
- probably the furthest
Thing from your mind
349
00:18:15,995 --> 00:18:18,607
- was the people
Who work for you.
- you're pushing it.
350
00:18:18,631 --> 00:18:22,399
You're not a vicious crone
With a twisted desire for money.
351
00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:25,403
Now, hold it.
352
00:18:25,471 --> 00:18:27,704
Every employee of wkrp
353
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:30,074
Will be offered a job
With the new format.
354
00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:33,110
Nobody gets hurt. Now,
I didn't have to do that.
355
00:18:33,179 --> 00:18:34,946
Oh, come on.
356
00:18:35,014 --> 00:18:38,316
How long do you think any of
Us are gonna last at those jobs?
357
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:42,786
If you're an announcer,
You can announce.
358
00:18:42,855 --> 00:18:46,557
I'm not like a real
News jockey, you know?
359
00:18:46,625 --> 00:18:50,161
If you want this news
Thing to work, we're gone.
360
00:18:50,229 --> 00:18:53,631
If that extra profit is
All that counts to you...
361
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,620
The profit is not
All that counts.
362
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,701
You feel okay?
363
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:00,804
It's not quite that simple.
364
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:04,174
Profit and loss are
Merely theoretical terms
365
00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:07,578
In a diversified conglomerate
Like carlson industries.
366
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:10,047
It's not the plus
And minus, mr. Fever.
367
00:19:10,116 --> 00:19:12,617
It's the plus and plus, if...
368
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:15,086
The minuses are
Played correctly.
369
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:20,224
You don't understand,
And I don't expect you to.
370
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:22,460
No, no. I understand.
371
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:24,629
Believe me, this is
So deeply warped,
372
00:19:24,697 --> 00:19:26,697
Even I get it.
373
00:19:28,735 --> 00:19:32,436
Krp is not supposed
To make money.
374
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:36,741
That's the deal. We're set
Up to lose, but we didn't.
375
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:39,377
And that's why you're
Changing the format...
376
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:41,846
So you can lose money
For two more years.
377
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:46,016
Good night.
378
00:19:46,085 --> 00:19:48,285
You are telling your own son
379
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:50,788
That you want him to
Be the general manager
380
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,835
Of the number-one
Station in the market,
381
00:19:52,859 --> 00:19:56,493
And you'd be
Happier if it was 16th.
382
00:19:56,563 --> 00:19:59,630
How do you think
He'd feel if he knew?
383
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:04,335
A very interesting
Turn, don't you think?
384
00:20:09,842 --> 00:20:12,175
Mr. Carlson: hirsch,
Is she here?
385
00:20:12,245 --> 00:20:14,178
Mama, I got andy and ven...
386
00:20:14,247 --> 00:20:16,113
Oh, they're out in the car.
387
00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:20,117
I was trying to explain what you
Told me about being the best, and, uh...
388
00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:22,186
Fever, what are you doing here?
389
00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:24,255
Just chatting. Uh...
390
00:20:24,324 --> 00:20:27,324
- your mother has
High hopes for krp.
- being number one.
391
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:29,727
- not quite.
- fever...
392
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:33,397
Oh, was our little
Conversation confidential?
393
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:37,768
Uh... I don't believe
I'm following this.
394
00:20:37,837 --> 00:20:39,481
Are you threatening me?
395
00:20:39,505 --> 00:20:41,772
Oh, no. Heck, no, boy.
396
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,209
I'll tell you something, a.C.
397
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:48,512
Your mother does not
Want you or wkrp to...
398
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:51,014
All right, fever,
That's quite enough.
399
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,686
W-would somebody, uh,
400
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:57,955
Like to explain something to me?
401
00:20:58,023 --> 00:21:00,023
I'm a pretty good listener.
402
00:21:06,065 --> 00:21:09,866
Arthur, I want you
403
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:13,170
To keep krp just the way it is.
404
00:21:13,239 --> 00:21:14,905
Number six?
405
00:21:14,974 --> 00:21:16,573
No.
406
00:21:22,715 --> 00:21:25,849
- the format.
- oh.
407
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:27,984
Well, what about
The american way?
408
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:30,220
Wait a minute, ace.
409
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:34,091
I think your mother is
Saying she believes in you.
410
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,727
Am I right, mrs. Carlson?
411
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,296
Right.
412
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:41,364
A mother's love.
413
00:21:41,434 --> 00:21:43,167
Boy, I'll tell you.
414
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:45,303
It's just...
415
00:21:46,706 --> 00:21:49,940
It's deeply moving to
See something like this.
416
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,080
Johnny: what are
You guys doing here?
417
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:59,962
- no, I'm getting out of here.
- we're gonna straighten
This whole thing out.
418
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:01,919
Come on. Okay.
419
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:06,957
Oh, uh... Mrs. Carlson,
420
00:22:07,026 --> 00:22:09,560
I'm tired of your crud.
421
00:22:13,199 --> 00:22:15,533
Yeah.
422
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:24,308
I got four things
423
00:22:24,377 --> 00:22:26,510
That I want to say to you.
424
00:22:26,579 --> 00:22:31,415
Tr-travis, uh... Number two...
425
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:37,221
You know, mommy,
426
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:43,360
I don't think we've all got the chance
To get together like this before.
427
00:22:57,943 --> 00:23:02,925
Andy: oh, bailey...
- thank you.
- mm-hmm.
428
00:23:02,949 --> 00:23:05,116
You're gonna go to
Heaven for that, bailey.
429
00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:14,325
Les... What's going on?
430
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:19,630
Hey, guys, thank
You very much for
431
00:23:19,698 --> 00:23:22,566
Turning mrs. Carlson
Around for me.
432
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:30,908
Not yet. I can't find venus.
433
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,414
It's time!
434
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:40,550
- andy: what's going on?
- all: surprise!
435
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:43,732
Oh, andy, you nut.
436
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:45,922
You skipped out on
Your party last night,
437
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:48,459
But we got you now.
