Frank Bonner: Herb Tarlek

Quotes 

• Herb Tarlek : [after making Les jump with his joy buzzer]  I'll tell you what. I'll be thinking of you poor working stiffs while I'm whooping it up in Acron, okay?

  [pats Bailey on the shoulder, another buzz by the joker, laughs heartily as he goes out the office] 

  Bailey Quarters : [smiles]  I think whooping is against the law in Acron.

  [Les is heavily engrossed in his notions for his thwarted rutabaga scoop] 

  Bailey Quarters : Something wrong, Les?

  Les Nessman : I'm working on something really important. It's going to be this year's entry for the Buck-eyed Newshound competition. And Andy wants me on some depressing... hospital story.

  Bailey Quarters : Well, I'll do it.

  Les Nessman : You're not ready for field reporting.

  Bailey Quarters : [rises]  Who's not ready?

  Les Nessman : I just meant It's a... pretty dull story, that's all.

  Bailey Quarters : There are no dull stories, only dull reporters.

  Les Nessman : That's true. Well, you know what, Bailey? Why don't you write something up, and I'll, uh, look it over. If it's good enough, maybe I'll let you do it on the air.

  [hands over the assignment] 

  Bailey Quarters : [glances at the notes, pleased by the content]  Good enough? Well, this will be the best darn story you ever saw.

  Les Nessman : [deviously]  We'll see.

  Bailey Quarters : Thank you, Les. You won't be sorry. Just wait till you read it. You're gonna love it.

  [dashes out the office]
