Quotes
-
Danny Tripp : Seven second delay.
Cal Shanley : Yeah?
Danny Tripp : How does the math work? We add 7 seconds?
Cal Shanley : We subtract 7 seconds.
Danny Tripp : We add it.
Cal Shanley : We subtract it.
Danny Tripp : The tape broadcast happens seven seconds later in the West than it did live in the East.
Cal Shanley : That's why you subtract seven seconds.
Danny Tripp : You don't add it?
Jordan McDeere : Oh, and this has me bathed in confidence.
Danny Tripp : We're fine. I'm going to go have a conversation with Ricky and Ron.
Jordan McDeere : Is this going to work?
Cal Shanley : Sure.
Jordan McDeere : You've done it before?
Cal Shanley : A hundred times. Well, really? No, never, but I can't think what the problem would be.
Jordan McDeere : Sure, what could possibly go wrong?
Cal Shanley : There you go.

Jordan McDeere : [after completing the first live feed to the west coast] Alright, that worked! That was a nice piece of broadcasting, that was great, that was smooth-sailing.
Cal Shanley : Yeah.
[yelling]
Cal Shanley : We're going again!
Jordan McDeere : Why?
Cal Shanley : We attributed the material to the wrong guy, but the problem is this will throw our time off so we have to pace and fill as we go now. I'd get comfortable!
Jordan McDeere : [pause] When the phone rings, it going to be for me.
