(Announcer #2)
KOST-1 03. Good morning.
I'm David K. Duncan.
(Announcer #3)
Commander Chuck Street
with traffiic. How's it going?
(Commander)
We've got a slowdown on that
southbound Pasadena freeway.
(Announcer #4)
This is the Dave Hull program
on KRLA,
but we are gonna
interrupt the show now
for this special announce...
(Turns Off Radio)
Don't you want to hear
what happened?
No, not really.
If it's important, I guess
they'll let us know anyway.
Ah, a smile.!
Okay, now we're
gettin'somewhere.
All right, Mr. No-Sleep,
I have something for you.
What's three miles long
and has an I. Q of 1 65?
A Saint Patrick's Day parade.
Actually,
it's a Cinco de Mayo parade.
I can't sleep anymore,
Herb.
Are you gonna be all right?
I don't want you nodding off
at the wheel.
No, no, I'm fine.
We can switch.
I'm fine. I'm okay.
(Sighs)
I don't know.
I don't know.
My job is a dead end.
I feel weird,
like I'm from another
planet or something.
Ellen kissed me on the top
of my head this morning
and said, "Have a nice day. "
- Can you believe that?
- What's wrong with that?
Bank tellers say,
"Have a nice day."
The cashier at the supermarket
says, "Have a nice day."
I just think that somehow
your wife should say something
better than, "Have a nice day."
You're losing your mind, Ed.
How long have you had insomnia?
My last good night's sleep?
Yeah,
the full eight hours.
Seems like... 1 980.
Yeah, the summer of 1 980.
(Chuckles)
(Herb)
You're in bed. You can't sleep.
I don't see the problem.
You go to the airport,
catch the midnight fiight
to Las Vegas.
Nobody sleeps there.
Very funny, Herb.
No, listen, I'm serious.
You need some action.
I'm not a gambler.
Don't gamble.
Have a few drinks.
See a show.
Get loose.
Get laid.
Oh, wonderful.
I'm sure Ellen would love it.
You'll be home
before she wakes up.
Sex isn't the problem.
When was the last time
you fucked your wife?
You're a classy guy, Herb.
Up in Vegas, there's
a beautiful, young girl
named Melissa.
She will do anything
you want for $200 an hour.
Two hundred dollars?
Anything you want.
Anything.
For example?
If you want,
she'll dress up
like Santa Claus.
Would she bring me a pony?
You're having trouble
with this concept.
I'm talking about the universe
of infinite possibility.
No such thing.
The only limits are
money and imagination.
Sorry.
I'm a little short on both.
Hello, Fielding.
(Indistinct Greeting)
(Sighs)
How much would I have to pay one
of these women for sympathy?
Sympathy?
Very kinky, Ed.
I'll see you at lunch.
(Clears Throat)
(Rings)
Ed Okin.
They're claiming we've got
a synchronization problem.
Naturally, this has nothing
to do with their god-awful
carrier tracking loop.
(Engineers Chuckling)
They want full tolerance
checks on all buggers,
sensors and corresponding
transducers.
(Groaning)
Scanners seem to check out.
Yeah, but that's on the uplink.
The problem is downlink.
Ed, have you got
the signal-to-noise ratio
on the downlink?
Ed?
Yeah?
- Have you got it?
- What's that?
Yep, we're having
synchronization problems.
I need the signal-to-noise ratio
on the downlink.
Signal-to-noise.
Right. Um, mm-hmm.
Right.
I've got it here.
(Flipping Pages)
I was just, uh...
Uh... signal-to-noise,
signal-to-noise.
Signal-to-noise: 5.3 db.
(Engineer)
Five point three?
What modulation scheme?
- Uh, B.P.S.K.
- "B.P.S.K."?
Isn't that correct?
We switched
to Q.P.S.K. two weeks ago.
Q P.S.K.?
It was incredible.
I can't tell you
how I felt.
It was incredible.
I can't tell you
how I felt.
