City on Fire

What do you think?

She's a beauty, Dad,

but a 47-footer?

You get to my age, you just don't fiddle around.

Jeannie's not gonna like this!

Trying smiling a lot!

You guys are going all the way!

Dad's buying the boat. I'm just paying for the anchor.

If you need a crew, count me in.

You're in.

Two months.

Two months, then I'm off.

Well, that's what you said last year

and the year before.

And the year before the year before.

Ah, this time, and I told him so,

I've got this incurable affliction.

It's called sea fever.

Well, better get to work.

Chief.

Captain.

Morning, Chief.

Morning, Andrew. Thank you!

Mmm!

What is that?

Breakfast!

Breakfast? I don't eat breakfast.

Yeah, you wouldn't.

OK!

I borrowed this. Do you mind?

No! It looks better on you!

Will I see you tonight?

Tonight?

Gee, no, I can't. I--I've got a lecture.

Afterwards! I'll make you dinner.

Dinner? No, no, no. I don't eat dinner.

You OK?

Yeah!

Listen, I'm sorry. I gotta go now.

But just close the door behind you when you leave, hmm?

Morning, Dr. Whitman!

Good morning, Doctor. - Franks, Hudson.

Morning, Doctor.

Morning, Dr. Mars.

Good morning, Doctor. - Take it easy!

Sorry, Dr. Whitman.

(Woman): EFTM-TV. Can I help you, please?

4:00, promptly.

(Man): Camera Crew 3 to Studio A for color lineup...

Good morning, Miss Grayson.

Morning, Miss Grayson.

Good morning, good morning, good morning!

Morning, Jimbo! Cigarette?

Sorry, forgot you quit.

Listen, run this over with Freddie, will you?

Sure!

Gotta have a word with Lucrezia Borgia.

Good luck!

Ah! Good morning, princess!

Good morning!

That schmuck, Fulton!

Couldn't you find somebody better?

Eh, and what about that stuff on Diana Brockhurst?

How good is it?

Ah, it's a good 3 minutes!

Sure?

Sure.

Mm-hmm.

Must be worth at least one good minute, eh?

Ready? Check the level.

Yeah, they look OK to me.

This is Maggie Grayson.

Does it show? Can you tell?

We'd like to welcome you to 90 minutes of news and interviews.

No! No, you can't tell.

Our cameras were at the airport last night

to greet a local celebrity.

Mayor Dudley and his charming wife

were at the airport to welcome them.

Only recently widowed from her second husband,

the European publishing giant, David Lautrec...

Herman! Herman!

Herman, you're on television!

Diana's here for the dedication of the new hospital,

built right smack

in the derelict downtown part of our city.

Look, it's you! It's you!

Diana is our special...

What were you doing at the airport?

You didn't tell me you--

I have nothing to say,

except that I hope that you'll all be there

for the dedication ceremony tomorrow.

We all thank you,

and we're proud that you're home.

The hospital is a memorial to her first husband,

the late Governor Paul Brockhurst.

She herself has endowed the hospital

with a trust of $3 million,

a generous gesture.

Diana is now worth a modest $35 million.

Welcome home, Diana.

And now for the weather forecast.

$35 million!

Oh, Herman, you did it!

I've got an important meeting this morning.

Don't forget your lunch!

Mr. Clark.

Who's Mr. Clark?

Just keep your fingers crossed.

Hmm! Bye!

(Man): Discussing the water shortage today

is Maggie Grayson's guest...

I'll take care of the zoning board,

but you better handle Carson yourself.

And the flowers for Diana's room were delivered.

The mayor's office issued a release,

indicating that the water reserves were slightly over 40%.

My information says that it is much lower than that.

Of course, you can't tell us where you got that information.

Alderman, you've been wrong about Mayor Dudley before.

Go get 'em, Maggie!

I'm appalled! Mayor Dudley--

That son of a bitch!

He's starting his campaign for mayor!

Why can't he wait until I'm governor?

I could kick him in the ass.

Never get into a pissing contest with a skunk.

How'd he find out about the water?

Uh, thanks.

Hey! Give my regards to Diana.

If I were 20 years younger, I'd fight you for her.

You'd lose!

Well!

Just like the good old days, huh?

Champagne's the same.

What does that mean?

Edith looked good last night.

You too. Every inch a governor.

I mean, even I'd vote for you.

Diana...

I still love you.

Hello?

Monsieur Pierre!

Uh, pas maintenant.

Non. Uh, Rappelez-moi demain à 3h00.

Non, notre heure.

C'est bien, ça. Au revoir.

As I was saying...

I still love you.

You remember Saint-Tropez?

This isn't Saint-Tropez.

I am still the same, and you're still the same.

No, I'm not.

Oh yeah. - No!

Morning, guys. - Morning!

Good morning!

No, Doctor.

Blood pressure.

Damn dirty politicians!

They always have to have their finger in the pie!

Morning, Andrea. - Morning!

We lost power in the west wing this morning.

What? - Yes!

The doctor will be with you in a moment, Mrs. Adams.

Mrs. Adams! You again?

This makes, uh, the 3rd one in a little over 2 years?

What's the matter, girl?

Can you remember and practice what the doctor taught you?

Obviously not.

Frank. - Yeah.

Would you believe our backup generator

has only got half the juice we need?

We're very lucky

that this hospital isn't fully operational yet,

or we'd be in the-- up to here.

Dr. Mars, continue with the rounds, would you, please?

(Woman on PA): Patients are reminded

that visiting hours do not start until 13:00.

Oh, sorry!

Oh, Doctor? - Mm-hmm.

I'd like you meet one of our new nurses,

Miss Florence Stoddard, uh, Dr. Whitman.
