"back to you*****" "****" "Kind of owe her a call, if you know what I mean." " Another one,huh?" " Yeah." "Thanks,man." "Oh,man,you don't have to do this,Mr.Darling." "Oh,no.I insist,please." "I still owe you from last week's ride on that room service cart." "Chuck?" "Hmm?" "Greg.Oh,my God, what are you doing in town?" "David Westcott, Chuck Darling." "How are you,David?" "Good to meet you." "A bunch of us from the network are doing a panel over at Carnegie Melon." " Uh-huh,yeah,good." " Changing Face of News." "You probably know most of the guys" " Bill,Dan,Morty." "A bunch of horse thieves,huh?" "You know,I started out with Morty." "I gave him the money for his first hairpiece." "Actually,it would have looked more believable if he just put the money on his head." "So how's it being back in Pittsburgh?" "Oh,it's fantastic.We're doing a hell of a show." "Great.We'll definitely catch it tonight." "Great.You know what?" "I'd love to see those guys." "Why don't we say,uh... meet for a drinks down in the lobby, say 7:00?" "7:00 it is." "You know,it's great seeing you do so well here." "We weren't in town five minutes, we saw you plastered on a bus." "Oh,so that's how I got home." "He used to be a big deal in L.A.,right?" "Oh,yeah." "Everybody thought he was going to the network, but here he is back in Hooterville playing second fiddle to what's her name." "God,that's sad." "I would put a gun to my head." "Hi,Marcy." "Back to You Season 1 Episode 4" " Hey,Chuckles." " Oh,hi,Marsh." "What's wrong,buddy?" "Well,I..." "Well,I..." "I just overheard something that kind of disturbed me." "I'm sorry.These walls are so thin." "It's a little phone game Peg and I play to spice things up." "You know,sometimes I'm a highway patrolman or a pirate..." "Not that,Marsh." "Look,do you think I play second fiddle to Kelly?" "Are you kidding?" "No way.You are the whole show." "Okay,people, meeting time." "Oh,we can't start without Kelly." "Here I am.I'm here,I'm here." "Oh,hi,Kelly." "Morning,Chuck.Morning, Ryan." "Blackbeard." "These walls are like paper,Kelly." "So far,the two big stories are that downtown fire which is still out of control, and that family missing in the forest was just found alive." "Oh,thank God." "I have been thinking about them so much." "Can you imagine being stranded for three days, trying to keep your kids safe?" "I mean,as a mom,I completely relate to that." "Yeah,I think that's our lead." "I'll take that one." "Sounds good." "Uh,Kelly,you take the fire." "Marsh,you've got three minutes tonight,Montana,two,40.Anything else?" "Yes.Every time I need my intern, he is hanging out in the sports department." "What?" "I never see him around there." "He's late with my maps, his temperatures are spotty, and yesterday he completely missed the high pressure system in the nation's mid-section." "You know there's no map there,right?" "Okay.Now we're done." "Just keep him away from the sports department." "I guess,if I even see him." "She's onto us." "Oh,God." "Just keep editing, don't even look at me." "Listen,we can't keep sneaking around,okay?" "I know weather's pointless, but you've got to go back to her." "Can I at least finish these football bloopers?" "I can't say no to you." "I knew it!" "Oh,Montana, you got to understand, this kid has a passion for sports." "It's in his bones." "He should be getting me coffee, not you." "Really?" "Do you know what happened in Oklahoma today,Wendell?" "Big tornado, flattened an entire town." "What happened in sports-- somebody catch a ball?" "Okay,let's take a breath." "What if I get you a new intern, a real go-getter?" "There's this guy in my building who asked me if there were any openings." "He's got a grandson who just graduated from MIT." "Fine." "Montana, I'm sorry." "Do what you got to do,Wendell." "It may make sense to you here, but you know it's wrong here." "Stay frosty,kid." "They're just words." "Where's my keyboard?" "Oh,I took it." "You what?" "Oh,isn't this the day we just take whatever we want, you selfish...?" "I'm surprised spell check let that one through." "Thank you." "Look, if this is about the missing family story, I'm-I'm sorry." "I..." "I had no idea you even wanted it." "Oh,please." "By the way, it isn't about the story." "It's the way you did it." "I'll take that one." "You were like a dingo in a maternity ward." "Well,look,I-I didn't mean to come off that way." "I'm sorry to hear you think that way about it." "You know,Chuck, I have a lot of work to do." "Fine.We both do." "No more distractions." "Mrs.Pemberton, this is your sweaty gardener Ramon down at the greenhouse." "I'm afraid my hose is..." "Marsh?" "Marsh!" "Oh,sorry." "Troy,what are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "I'm starting my internship." "What about your grandson?" "Well,let him find his own internship." "I'm the one sitting at home clipping coupons and watchingJudge Judy." "Which reminds me, I can't work from 4:00 to 4:30." "Uh,Marsh,can I speak to you for a second?" "Uh,sure.Just hang tight there a second,Troy." "Troy?" "Is that his name or his hometown?" "I thought this was supposed to be for his grandson.What happened?" "I don't have a clue." "I said,"An internship opened up." "" He said,"Fantastic." "" I said,"It starts in an hour." "" He said,"No problem." "" I said,"It earns college credit." "" He said,"I just have to find my pants." "" In retrospect,that may have been a clue." "I can't have that guy making my weather maps." "He'll be confused by all the new states." "We can't send him home." "Give it the rest of the day." "You may be surprised." "I'd be surprised if hehasthe rest of the day." "Troy,come over here, please." "Troy!" "Troy,this is Montana." "She'll be your new boss." "It's a pleasure." "I've always loved the weather, and I'm glad to be part of it." "Forget there's a little snow coming in from the north." "You know,just treat me like any other intern." "Well,thank you,Troy." "That's very sweet of you." "So for starters, uh,how about taking these tapes down to the archive room?" "You betcha." "See?" "Whoa,don't be a hero." "Where's the archive room?" "Down one floor and then all the way at the end of the hall." "Oh,big stuff happening with Kelly's fire story." "Apparently, they found a bunch of bodies." "We're going to bump it to the lead." "Damn it!" "The humanity." "Listen,Ryan, you got your hands full handling all this breaking news." "I'll tell you what.I'll let Kelly know." "Kelly, I feel just terrible about what happened earlier." "I will take the fire story." " What?" " Please.I'll feel guilty all day otherwise." "Chuck,what's going on?" "Nothing." "You were clearly more passionate about that missing family story, and,frankly,you'll do a much better job than I would." "There,I said it." "You mean,what I said an hour ago." "That's an ugly shade on you,Kelly." "Chuck,you're doing the missing family story,right?" "No,actually, I just gave it to Kelly." "She'll do a much better job with it,and let's face it." "We must always put the show first." "Okay.Kelly, the story's exploding." "It turns out the father had to fight off a bear to save the whole family." "Damn it!" "There's just too many bears." "I've said it before." "That's got to be our lead." "We have the park ranger who found them on line three." "Oh,my God!" "This is unbelievable." "this is a story a newscaster waits for their entire career and then gives it away." "Hello.This is kelly carr." "Ryan,are you sure about making that story the lead?" "What about all those victims in that fire?" "Oh,yeah,good news about that." "They turned out to be mannequins." "Oh,come on!" "They've got the fire 95% contained." "They're sending most of the firemen home." "Hey,I think I can get the whole family in the studio for a live interview." "Holy cow.We got to promo the heck out of this." "Coming up at 6:00, meet the man who fought off a bear to save his family." "I'll have an exclusive live interview." "And that downtown fire still raging, five percent out of control." "See you at 6:00,everybody." "you're the one in charge around here,right?" "Yeah." "I'm going to need some time off for a doctor's appointment." "Sure.When?" "Tuesday at 4:00." "No problem." "Wednesday at 9:00, wednesday at 3:15, thursday at 2:00." "Wow,are you okay?" "We'll find out friday at 10:00." "Troy,where have you been?" "Bringing those tapes down like you asked me to." "Still?" "Rome wasn't built in a day." "Well,if anyone would know... marsh,I want him fired." "Give him his two weeks' notice." "It'll take him that long to get out of the building." "You fire him, he's your intern." "Only because you screwed up by hiring your neighbor to replace the intern you stole." "You're right, we're both responsible." "We'll fire him together." "Ryan,I've got an update on that fire story." " You might want to consider bumping it to the lead." " What?" "Well,it turns out that a permit was issued to convert that building into condos." "Can you imagine the loss of life that could've happened a year from now?" "It's almost too unbearable." "Listen,if I hurry,I can actually get an interview with one of the people that was considering buying." "You mean a potential future victim?" "It gives me chills when you say it like that." "Okay,I've got the guy's wife coming in,too." "It'll be the first time they've been together since he saved all their lives." "This is going to be the story of the year." "Yeah,if it even happened." "It's just their word against the bear'S." "Kelly,can I have a word with you?" "Yeah,yeah.I'm just changing the lead to my bear story." "The first I had, it was too soft, and then it was too hard, and now I think it's just right." "funny." "Listen,uh... as journal we have to be careful not to make ourselves part of the story." "And the way you're handling this missing family thing, well,maybe I should..." " new info on the fire." " Hold that thought." "It was put out by a freak rain storm.Bumping it to fourth." "Where was I?" "You were second, now you're fourth." "Look,look,kelly, I'm going to be 100% honest with you." "Yeah,your big shot network friends are all watching tonight and you want the lead so you won't look like you're in my shadow." "I wasn't going to be that honest, but how the hell did you find that out?" "Because they called to confirm drinks after the show and given how you've been acting all day, it wasn't hard to connect the dots." "Yeah,I guess it's pretty pathetic caring this much what my old colleagues think about me." "I guess I'm a little more insecure than I let on." "So... what do you say,old friend?" "I'd say that unless I'm attacked by a bear in the next 15 minutes, you're doing that lame-o fire story." "Troy,I could beat around the bush, but I'm going to cut right to the chase." "When I was a little boy i met a fish peddler... what marsh is trying to say is that you're a nice man, but this isn't working." "Yeah,I'm sorry,buddy, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go." "That was pretty good." "Definitely our best one so far." "Should we wake him up?" "Yeah,let's do it." "Troy?" "Troy?" "Hi,kids." "Troy,I could beat around the bush, but I'm going to cut right to the chase." "When I was a little boy... what marsh is trying to say is that... ... we would love some coffee." "You got it." "If I drank as much coffee as you people, I'd be up till 7:00." "I don't know what happened." "I do.You realized you're going to be old someday and you don't want some young punks tossing you on the slag heap." "You're right." "I mean,sure he's slow, but technically he hasn't done anything wrong." "I'm proud of you,montana." "I..." "I feel the same way." "When I'm in my golden years, I want some compassion." "I want some respect." "I want someone to tell troy there's no coffee in the fax machine." "Okay,people, two minutes to show." "Hey,ryan." "Which do you prefer, blaze or inferno?" "Go with inferno." "Okay,I'd like to throw this story into a giant inferno." "Here." "What's this?" "It's the bear story,take it." "Why?" "Because I've given it some thought, and I think I've been too judgmental." "And we all have people we want to impress." "What happened, the story fall apart?" "It turned out to be a hoax?" "Guy in a bear suit?" "Forget it,you know, I'm really sorry i tried to do something nice." "No,wait,wait,wait!" "Don't forget it, don't forget it." "You're really just being nice?" "30 seconds." "Do you know how sad it is that you just assume everyone is as devious and conniving as you are?" "I had a rough childhood." "In greenwich,connecticut?" "When you never have to ask for anything, you never learn how." "We'll be right with you,folks." "Kelly,please." "I really need this." "Oh,my god,the bear didn't salivate that much when he saw those people." " Fine." " Thanks." "Ryan,I'm taking the lead." "What?" "All right,everybody, the lead story is now chuck'S." "All right,we're live in three... coming up, a daring rescue today as a local man fights to defend his family against one of nature's deadliest predators." "And milk expiration stamps, can we trust them?" "This and more, next on news nine." "And clear." "We're back in ten." "Okay,folks,listen." "I'm going to do a quick intro, and then we'll get to the interview,all right?" "I really appreciate this." "I hope all your friends are watching." "... show 'em how we do things here in hooterville,huh?" "good evening." "It was like a scene out of a horror movie." "The robbins family, whose disappearance in the allegheny forest stunned the region, came face-to-face with a massive bear moments before their rescue." "We are joined by this brave brood as they speak for the first time about their harrowing ordeal." "Tell me, what were your thoughts when you first saw the bear?" "I was worried about protecting my family." "I'm sorry,did the bear attack your throat?" "No." " It's just that your voice is so..." " what?" "Uh... nothing.Nothing." "Tell me what happened." "Well,first,I tried to stare him down... is that the way you really talk?" "Damn it,I fought off a freaking bear!" "Stthe only thing anyone can ever talk about is my voice?" "Mr.Robbins,please, I don't think this is a time for conflict." "I think it's a time for helium-- for healing." "Kelly,want to jump in here?" "I just think mr.Robbins is a hero as I told him when we spoke before the show." "Let's go,becca." "No,mr.Robbins.Please,you have an important story and I'd like a chance to tell it with respect and professionalism." "I've got those coffees." "Nice job." "What?" "Sticking me with that dolphin in a wheelchair." "You wanted the lead, you got what you wanted." "I was humiliated." "Oh,then I got what I wanted." "What you did was completely unprofessional." "Really?" "Let's talk about today,okay?" "You stole a story,you lied, you manipulated me, did some more lying, lunch, then more manipulation." "Okay,I'll admit I was bad." "But you were worse." "Oh,come on,you're just cranky 'cause I beat you at your own game." "You got lucky,you know." "If you hadn't talked to that squeak toy before the show, you never would've pulled this off." "That's true." "Yeah,well,so don't take too much credit." "Yeah,you're still number one." "Yeah,that's right." " You're manipulating me again,aren't you?" " Yeah." " Damn,you're really good." " Yeah." "You're fast,too." "Son of a bitch." "Okay." "Go ahead,let it out." "You know you want to." "What are you talking about?" "Okay,then, see you later." "Back to You Season 1 Episode 4"
