Relations. (SIGHS) The consensus is that I'm spending too much of the taxpayer's money tracking down UFOs. But that's your job, sir. No, no. They feel it is explaining things away as easily as possible. Will there be anything else, sir? No. Jamie Hamilton, UBC. She's the key to finding these two, whatever they are. Lieutenant, I'm going to be out for a while. I would rather not let anyone know. As in, top secret? You might say that. Yes. Now, be careful of the wires, okay? Now, I want you to promise me you'll all be on your best behavior. Those tour booklets will tell you all about how television works here on Earth. That way you'll appreciate what you're going to see later on, on the tour. How long will you be gone? Not long. But I do have a job. And if I don't show up, I'll get fired. Don't worry, Miss Hamilton. We'll be fine. I'll explain the basic rudiments of Earth's transmission while you're gone. Well, that will be just... Wait a minute, how can you explain it? This booklet you gave me. Well, I just read it. You read the booklet in three minutes? Never mind. Just learn what you can and keep them busy till I get back. Let me begin this seminar by explaining the working principles of what they call a television camera. Primitive but fascinating. I think I can best explain its function to you by taking it apart. Harris, take a camera team and cover the recall election down in the county. Then after you button that up, move on down and pick up whatever pieces you can get on the illegal alien situation down in the garment district. What did he say about the aliens? The illegal worker type. People who cross our borders, try to work without official immigration papers. Not the kind of aliens who land in flying saucers. (ALL CHUCKLING) I got a report on a human interest angle that might make a nice story. You remember Billy Eheres, the former National League bonus baby? Apparently, his Casey's Camp for underprivileged children is in some kind of financial trouble. Chuck, why don't you go down and cover it? Try to get a couple of shots of what he's trying to do after you cover the Mayor's office. Are you talking about a kids' camp? Yes. I'm sorry, Jamie, there's nothing Earth-shattering about this assignment. A good reporter has to take the good with the bad. I'd be more than happy to cover the children's camp story. Okay, Jamie, you've got it. All right, that does it, everybody. Everybody, get to work and bring me back some good stories. Jamie, you stay. WELLINGTON: Note the extended use of solid-state electronic modules and completely self-contained synchronizing generator. Hey, what's going on here? What in the world is going on here? Just covering the basics of video transmission. You're welcome to listen. Jamie, I think it's time we had a little talk. Talk? About what, Mr. Brooks? About your running off on your own. About your covering stories to which you haven't been assigned. Things like terrorists and flying saucers. And in each and every case, you disappear for a couple of days at a time. A story doesn't always tell itself from nine to five. Jamie, come on. I haven't got time to exchange our philosophies of journalism. Look, do me a favor. Go up to that camp and get that story. At least I know you can't get into trouble on this one. You called, chief? Hi, Hal. Oh, hello, Hal. Hi. Jamie, I want Hal to work with you on this one. You're going up to see Billy Eheres. Jamie, I don't know if you know this. Billy Eheres had the potential to be one of the greatest baseball players ever. I think a lot of people would be interested in hearing about him again. Right. After I make one stop... BROOKS: Uh-uh-uh. N-O. You're to go right to the camp. You do not stop. You are not to pass Go. You are not to collect $200. And please, try to stay out of trouble.
