Quote context

[...]

- I'm talking about a $6 cost per thousand show. I'm talking about a hundred, a 130000-dollar minutes. Do you wanna figure out the revenues of a strip show that sells for 100000 bucks a minute?

- One show like that could pull this whole network right out of the hole.

- Now, Frank, it's being handed to us on a plate. Let's not blow it.

- Yes? Tell him I'll be a few minutes. Let me think it over.

- Frank, let's not go to committee on this. It's twenty after ten. We want Beale in that studio by half past six. We don't want to lose the momentum.

- For God's sake, Diana, we're talking about putting a manifestly irresponsible man on national television.

- I'd like to talk to Legal Affairs at least and Herb Thackeray and certainly Joe Donnelly in Standards and Practices.

- And you know, I'm going to be eyeball to eyeball with Mr. Ruddy on this.

- If I'm going to the mat with Ruddy, I wanna make sure of some of my ground.

- I'm the one whose ass is going on the line.
