I'm what we call a segment producer. Each of our shows is divided into four ten-minute stories, anchored by a different newsman. I work for Jack Eldridge.
Ah, I like Eldridge. He's a ball-buster. That piece you did on heating oil? You really tagged that corporate clown. Have a seat.
We want to do a three-part series on Oswald. You know, "inside one of America's toughest prisons."
No.
No?
Like I said, I saw what he did to that guy, and I don't want to be that guy.
What have you got to hide?
Nothing. But in the four years since we had the riot, life around here has been rough. Attitudes are just starting to settle down. You bring in a tv camera, you're going to stir the situation up.
Well, I've spoken to the Commissioner, and he's agreed.
I'll call the Governor.
He also agreed.
Well, if you already had permission, if you already knew it was a done deal, why'd you even ask me?
To get your honest reaction.
