Quotes
-
Andy Travis : And this is the bullpen, as we call it. That's Bailey Quarters here...
[Bailey sits casually toying with page torn out from notepad, sailing it through the air]
Andy Travis : She's in charge of traffic, continuity and some news reporting.
Norris Breeze : [unimpressed] Mm. Hello.
Bailey Quarters : [like big overgrown kid] Hey.
Andy Travis : Let's see what Les Nessman is up to.
Les Nessman : [busy on phone] Well, Ben Bradley at The Washington Post is a good man. Oh, sure, he makes mistakes, but he's a good man. Uh-huh?
Norris Breeze : [as Bailey does fly-past with page as imaginary paper airplane] She does traffic and continuity?
Andy Travis : Uh, yeah. Les will be off the phone in just a minute.
Norris Breeze : I'd like to speak with her.
Andy Travis : Okay... . She's really kind of shy.
Norris Breeze : [insists] I'd like to speak to her.
Andy Travis : Okay.
[ready to assist]
Norris Breeze : Alone.
[Andy leaves reluctantly]
Norris Breeze : Hi.
Bailey Quarters : [big goofy smile, gives peace sign, total hippie chick] Hi.
[nods]
Norris Breeze : Do you enjoy your work here?
Bailey Quarters : Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[looks away shyly]
Norris Breeze : You, uh, ever do any drugs?
Bailey Quarters : [wide-eyed look, smiles in conspirational way] When?
Norris Breeze : Like, on the job.
Bailey Quarters : Sit down, I wanna tell you something.
Norris Breeze : [sits down, but she's suddenly a silent statue, zoned out] What?
Bailey Quarters : What what?
Norris Breeze : You were gonna tell me something.
Bailey Quarters : [chuckles] I don't think so.
[big smile]
Norris Breeze : You control the paperwork at the station?
Bailey Quarters : Oh, yeah. If you have any paper you just bring it to me. I would also love some M&M's.
Les Nessman : [gets up from phone] Mr. Breeze... Les Nessman. I understand you find my news reports unusual. Humorous. Thank you very much.
[firm, hearty handshake exchanged]
Les Nessman : It's a rock station, so I enjoy kidding around. Unless it's hard news. Then, of course, I go for it.
[is the big Nessman, busy, busy, busy:]
Les Nessman : Excuse me.
[off on assignment...]
Bailey Quarters : [sings jingle] N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best... chocolate!
[with hands, mimics big crocodile-like mouth snapping shut, then chuckles]
Bailey Quarters : Farfel. Remember that guy? The dog!
[Norris Breeze nods, then walks out]
