• Arthur Carlson : [about Les' complaint about reading the disaster plan on the air concerning the tornado]  What problem?

  Les Nessman : It doesn't cover tornadoes. It's for what to do if the Russians attack.

  Arthur Carlson : The Russians?

  Les Nessman : Or Chinese.

  Arthur Carlson : Les, you take that emergency file, and you get on the air, and when you see the word "Russians", you substitute the word "tornadoes".

  Les Nessman : Oooh, that's a good idea.

  Les Nessman : [sitting down and speaking into the microphone]  This is a special emergency report from WKRP in Cincinnati. Now here with that report is Les Nessman.

  Les Nessman : [to Mr. Carlson]  Somebody else is supposed to read that.

  Arthur Carlson : Just get back on the air.

  Les Nessman : [back into the live microphone]  The City of Cincinnati has just been attacked by the godless... tornadoes!
