Herb Tarlek : [after making Les jump with his joy buzzer] I'll tell you what. I'll be thinking of you poor working stiffs while I'm whooping it up in Acron, okay?
[pats Bailey on the shoulder, another buzz by the joker, laughs heartily as he goes out the office]
Bailey Quarters : [smiles] I think whooping is against the law in Acron.
[Les is heavily engrossed in his notions for his thwarted rutabaga scoop]
Bailey Quarters : Something wrong, Les?
Les Nessman : I'm working on something really important. It's going to be this year's entry for the Buck-eyed Newshound competition. And Andy wants me on some depressing... hospital story.
Bailey Quarters : Well, I'll do it.
Les Nessman : You're not ready for field reporting.
Bailey Quarters : [rises] Who's not ready?
Les Nessman : I just meant It's a... pretty dull story, that's all.
Bailey Quarters : There are no dull stories, only dull reporters.
Les Nessman : That's true. Well, you know what, Bailey? Why don't you write something up, and I'll, uh, look it over. If it's good enough, maybe I'll let you do it on the air.
[hands over the assignment]
Bailey Quarters : [glances at the notes, pleased by the content] Good enough? Well, this will be the best darn story you ever saw.
Les Nessman : [deviously] We'll see.
Bailey Quarters : Thank you, Les. You won't be sorry. Just wait till you read it. You're gonna love it.
[dashes out the office]

Andy Travis : Bailey...
Bailey Quarters : Mm?
Andy Travis : If you ever do that again, you'll be the best-looking reporter on the unemployment line.
Bailey Quarters : [smiles] Best-looking?
[Andy nods with a big smile]
