Let me ask you this:
1:19:11
...why didn't you correct McCarthy...
1:19:13
...when he said that Alger Hiss
was convicted of treason?
1:19:16
He was only convicted of perjury.
You corrected everything else.
1:19:20
Did you not want the appearance
of defending a known Communist?
1:19:23
I would argue that everyone censors,
including you.
1:19:30
What do you want to do, Bill?
1:19:36
I'm takng your program
from a half an hour to an hour.
1:19:38
And it wont be a weekly program
and it won't be Tuesday nights.
1:19:42
- When would it be?
- Sunday afternoons.
1:19:48
- How many episodes?
- 5.
1:19:53
Why don't you just fire me, Bill?
1:19:55
I don't think
it's what either of us wants.
1:20:01
You owe me 5 shows.
1:20:12
- You won't like the subject matter.
- Probably not.
1:20:15
Fred, I'll need you for a moment.
1:20:31
- Thank you, Mary.
- Goodbye, Mr. Friendly.
1:20:39
- He wants me to lay a few people off.
- I'm sure he does.
1:20:43
Let's do our first show
about the downfall of television.
1:20:49
- Senate's gonna vote to censure
McCarthy tomorrow. - Probably.
1:20:52
- And then what happens?
- He sits in the back row. - Right.
1:20:55
- They keep him in the Senate.
They don't kick him out. - No, he stays.
