You Can't Do That on Television1979

Christine McGlade:
Ross, you said the show was canceled because you wanted to go see that stupid ball game.

Ross Ewich:
Would I say a thing like that? The producer knows I work my guts out on this program.

Christine McGlade:
Oh, I get it. I get it. The producer had something to say about you sneaking off to the ball game.

Ross Ewich:
The producer and I had a nice, quiet, friendly, little chat, okay?

Christine McGlade:
He threatened to fire you, didn't he?

Ross Ewich:
Fire? Fire? No, no, "fire" never came into it at all. We talked about, uh, oh, very important things like, uh... priorities.

Christine McGlade:
Mmm, like what's more important, uh, getting a job and wages and a roof over your head and lots of money, or, uh, going to a ball game and getting fired?

Ross Ewich:
"Fired" never came into it. No-no-no. As a matter of fact he talked, uh, more about cement overshoes and the, uh, bottom of the river.

Christine McGlade:
Mm, sounds like him.
