1. I can't believe another
Heimlich County Pork Festival's
Copy !req
2. almost here.
Copy !req
3. This year we're
gonna have to get
Copy !req
4. Bill's cholesterol tested
every hour.
Copy !req
5. Just remember
to keep your fingers
Copy !req
6. away from my mouth.
Copy !req
7. Once I'm in the zone,
I can't tell the difference.
Copy !req
8. Hey, it's seven
after the hour.
Copy !req
9. Let's see what kind
of weather
Copy !req
10. my Nancy's predicting.
Copy !req
11. Even an inch tall
and ashen gray,
she's beautiful.
Copy !req
12. The weather's going to be
sunny and clear,
Copy !req
13. not a chance of drizzle,
Copy !req
14. so come on down and watch
those pigs sizzle.
Copy !req
15. I'll be there to sign autographs
Copy !req
16. outside the Hall
of Ham Presidents.
Copy !req
17. All right!
Copy !req
18. I love James K. Pork.
Copy !req
19. Thanks for your help,
Peggy,
Copy !req
20. but try not to sign
across my face.
Copy !req
21. Oh, and don't sign
Copy !req
22. across my cleavage either.
Copy !req
23. Or, as one of my fans calls
it, my warm fronts.
Copy !req
24. Oops, I must be getting tired.
Copy !req
25. I signed this one
"Peggy Hill" by mistake.
Copy !req
26. Well, no matter, now
it's a collector's item.
Copy !req
27. Can't stop yet, sug.
Copy !req
28. The weather outlook is so sunny,
Copy !req
29. we could be talking
demolition derby-size crowds.
Copy !req
30. Did you realize I make your B's
just like a serial killer?
Copy !req
31. Well, this ruins
my watercooler
talk for Monday.
Copy !req
32. And Tuesday.
Copy !req
33. Delayed
for wind?
Copy !req
34. Sure, it's a little breezy,
Copy !req
35. but it's not that bad.
Copy !req
36. Whoa!
Copy !req
37. Nancy, fans!
Copy !req
38. I look forward to
the Pork Festival all year
Copy !req
39. and your weather ruined it!
Copy !req
40. Can you accurately
predict
Copy !req
41. what my finger's going to do?
Copy !req
42. It's not my fault
I got the weather wrong.
Copy !req
43. I just read it off
the TelePrompTer.
Copy !req
44. My job is
to pronounce it,
Copy !req
45. not predict it.
Copy !req
46. Oh, don't feel so bad.
Copy !req
47. You know what they say
about the weather in Texas:
Copy !req
48. if you don't like it,
just wait five minutes.
Copy !req
49. Sometimes it takes ten.
Copy !req
50. Maybe we should go.
Copy !req
51. We're square dancing
in PE today.
Copy !req
52. I'm do-si-do-ing
with you, Cherise!
Copy !req
53. You thought
he was a dog.
Copy !req
54. Oh, God, what a horrible day.
Copy !req
55. At least it looks like you got
a nice new pair of boots.
Copy !req
56. Thanks for noticing.
Oh, can you ask me
Copy !req
57. where I got them
when we're on the air, sug?
Copy !req
58. That way they're free.
Copy !req
59. Understood.
Copy !req
60. I get a free dinner every time
I mention the Barbecue Hut.
Copy !req
61. Hmm.
Copy !req
62. Damn it, Nancy.
Copy !req
63. People are really ticked off
about your forecast.
Copy !req
64. Our phones are ringing
off the hook.
Copy !req
65. What am I
supposed to do?
Copy !req
66. The only equipment I have
is a thermometer
Copy !req
67. and a little glass skunk
whose tail turns blue
Copy !req
68. when it's humid.
Copy !req
69. I know, I know.
Copy !req
70. Wait, what about
the Super Doppler
Copy !req
71. we're always advertising?
Copy !req
72. We don't really have one.
Copy !req
73. We just wrote "Doppler"
Copy !req
74. on the air conditioning unit
on the roof.
Copy !req
75. Channel 4's got one.
Copy !req
76. Televiso's got one.
Copy !req
77. Well, we got to do something.
Copy !req
78. The FCC's cracking down
on everyone.
Copy !req
79. They won't let us keep calling
it AccuWeather
Copy !req
80. if you keep getting it wrong.
Copy !req
81. Well, then get me
a Doppler
Copy !req
82. or whatever can predict
the weather better
Copy !req
83. so I don't look like
a jackass again, sug!
Copy !req
84. Hi, Bobby.
Copy !req
85. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
86. It's Jimmy Bearden!
Copy !req
87. I made eye contact
with him one day,
Copy !req
88. and ever since he's been
out to get me.
Copy !req
89. Do you hear the barking?
Copy !req
90. It's all around us.
Copy !req
91. Are the puffy clouds
good or bad?
Copy !req
92. Check it out, Nancy.
Copy !req
93. Doppler radar. NWS link.
Copy !req
94. Graphics computers. The works.
Copy !req
95. Channel 84 is in
Copy !req
96. the 21st century
of weather forecasting.
Copy !req
97. Oh, thank God.
Copy !req
98. Forecast for Arlen, please.
Copy !req
99. Don't worry about how any
of this stuff works, Nancy.
Copy !req
100. That's what Irv's here for.
Copy !req
101. Meet Irv Bennett.
Copy !req
102. Fresh from Texas Tech's
Copy !req
103. Meteorological School.
Copy !req
104. Great to meet you,
Ms. Hicks-Gribble.
Copy !req
105. I know this is kind of lame,
Copy !req
106. but I have a printout of that
tornado that moved through here
Copy !req
107. in August of 2001.
Copy !req
108. Could you sign it?
Copy !req
109. Whatever, sug.
Copy !req
110. I'm just glad
I finally have someone
Copy !req
111. to do my science for me.
Copy !req
112. Oh, and to answer my phone.
Copy !req
113. Can you always say,
"I'll see if
she's available"
Copy !req
114. even when I am available.
Copy !req
115. Can do.
Copy !req
116. Whoa, Irv, you don't
have time for that.
Copy !req
117. Sure he does.
Copy !req
118. Don't let it get to five rings
Copy !req
119. or the voice mail will pick up.
Copy !req
120. Just move it. You've got to get
into makeup for the 5:00 report.
Copy !req
121. I'm on it.
Copy !req
122. Makeup?
Oh, don't worry, Tom.
Copy !req
123. I'll make sure I don't walk so
far that he gets in the shot.
Copy !req
124. Nancy, uh...
Copy !req
125. Irv's going to be doing
the weather from now on.
Copy !req
126. What?
Copy !req
127. Am I being fired?
Copy !req
128. Now? No. We're a family.
Copy !req
129. I'm sure we'll find
something for you.
Copy !req
130. But the thing is,
viewers don't want
Copy !req
131. to be entertained
by a "weather girl" anymore.
Copy !req
132. They want meteorologists
Copy !req
133. who, who understand
weather
Copy !req
134. and can update them immediately.
Copy !req
135. But-but what about me?
Copy !req
136. Hey, why don't you man
the weather phone?
Copy !req
137. But everybody knows the weather
phone's just the fax machine.
Copy !req
138. You combine that
split-level jet stream
Copy !req
139. with a high pressure system
swooping down from Canada,
Copy !req
140. and you've got classic
tornado weather
Copy !req
141. and possible wildfire
conditions.
Copy !req
142. I'll be tracking
the developments
Copy !req
143. and keep you posted.
Copy !req
144. Weather can be tracked?
Copy !req
145. He's good.
Copy !req
146. There are parts
of this forest...
Copy !req
147. Wow, zero percent chance
of charm or what, huh?
Copy !req
148. How could we be defeated
by a man named Irv?
Copy !req
149. Oh, would you calm down.
Copy !req
150. Nancy, you may look like
a Southern belle,
Copy !req
151. but deep inside you are
pure Rottweiler.
Copy !req
152. Think of how many lives
you ruined in high school.
Copy !req
153. Heck, I've seen you break up
entire baby showers
Copy !req
154. with one catty remark.
Copy !req
155. You're right.
Copy !req
156. Irv's not going to know
what hit him.
Copy !req
157. Steak's on.
Copy !req
158. Bobby, what in the heck
is wrong with you?
Copy !req
159. Sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
160. I'm just a little on edge
because of this bully at school.
Copy !req
161. Well, what's he doing to you?
Copy !req
162. Indian burns? Towel snaps?
Copy !req
163. Those are the ones
you got to be careful of.
Copy !req
164. No, he's jumping out
and scaring me.
Copy !req
165. Well, how's he doing that?
Copy !req
166. Is he big for his age?
Copy !req
167. Or does he have some of those
Chinese fighting sticks?
Copy !req
168. No. He jumps out
and makes a weird noise.
Copy !req
169. Oh. Well, we're not going
to the principal on this one.
Copy !req
170. Okay, we've been
through this before.
Copy !req
171. You need to fake
with your right
Copy !req
172. and jab him
with your left.
Copy !req
173. Come on. Try it.
Copy !req
174. Why don't you find his schedule
and try to stay away from him?
Copy !req
175. Hey, there, Irv-y Derv.
Copy !req
176. So you must have
some wild stories
Copy !req
177. about your days
at Texas Tech.
Copy !req
178. Ever have a few drinks,
Copy !req
179. start roughhousing with some
of your frat brothers...
Copy !req
180. maybe in the shower...
Copy !req
181. and things got
a little out of hand?
Copy !req
182. You remember when
Copy !req
183. that arctic air blast
came through?
Copy !req
184. You know, the one
that had
Copy !req
185. all that heavy backlash precip
behind it?
Copy !req
186. Well, me and my buddies stood
outside all night long
Copy !req
187. to understand what seven degrees
Fahrenheit felt like.
Copy !req
188. I mean, sure, we
could've just found
Copy !req
189. some walk-in freezer,
but it's not the same.
Copy !req
190. It must be nerve-racking going
on air for the first time.
Copy !req
191. Do you ever get scared
Copy !req
192. that you will freeze up
on camera
Copy !req
193. and just stand there
with nothing to say?
Copy !req
194. Oh, there's always
something to say
Copy !req
195. about the weather around here.
Copy !req
196. Tornadoes, cyclones,
Copy !req
197. floods,
Copy !req
198. heat waves,
of course...
Copy !req
199. not to mention hurricanes.
Copy !req
200. Show time, Irv.
Copy !req
201. All right!
Copy !req
202. Oh, my God, your nose is huge.
Copy !req
203. I do have a honker,
don't I?
Copy !req
204. You sure do.
Copy !req
205. And the camera
adds ten pounds,
Copy !req
206. but I'm sure it won't
all go to your nose.
Copy !req
207. Whoo, it's gonna be
a hot one today, folks.
Copy !req
208. So find some shade
Copy !req
209. wherever you can.
Copy !req
210. Hey, I bet my nose
could shade most
of South Arlen.
Copy !req
211. You might want
to back up camera one,
Copy !req
212. because I'm about to turn here.
Copy !req
213. I bet I'm a rhinoplastician's
dream.
Copy !req
214. Don't you mean rhinoceros?
Copy !req
215. I mean rhinoplastician.
Copy !req
216. You know...
Copy !req
217. rhinoplasty?
Copy !req
218. By a plastic surgeon?
Copy !req
219. But with this nose,
Copy !req
220. I'm probably
a rhinoceros's dream, too.
Copy !req
221. Good one.
Copy !req
222. High five, Miguel.
Copy !req
223. Huh... I never really knew
what they meant
Copy !req
224. when they said
mild weather,
Copy !req
225. but dang if it doesn't
feel mild out here.
Copy !req
226. Damn that
Irv Bennett.
Copy !req
227. It's like he makes the weather.
Copy !req
228. Him and those damn machines
of his.
Copy !req
229. This guy's got to go.
Copy !req
230. If he keeps this up,
they're gonna fire Nancy.
Copy !req
231. If they fire Nancy,
Copy !req
232. she won't be able
to keep paying me
Copy !req
233. to sit around the house
and do nothing.
Copy !req
234. You know, Dale,
you could help out
Copy !req
235. by cutting down
on your expenses.
Copy !req
236. Maybe instead
of buying more guns
Copy !req
237. you can enjoy
the ones you have.
Copy !req
238. Or maybe I could just help Nancy
get rid of this guy.
Copy !req
239. It's time to give him a scare
Copy !req
240. like so many possums
have given me.
Copy !req
241. Last night
I watched the news
Copy !req
242. and pretended Irv
and I were talking.
Copy !req
243. He'd say,
"How 'bout that weather?"
Copy !req
244. and I'd say, "It's fine, Irv.
Copy !req
245. Would you like
some Swiss Miss pudding?"
Copy !req
246. Iss-ton-bowl...
Copy !req
247. Ees-tin-ball.
Copy !req
248. Today the mayor
of Ees-ton-bowl...
Copy !req
249. Irv Bennett's desk.
Copy !req
250. Get out, weather man!
Copy !req
251. A pain front is coming!
Copy !req
252. Leave town!
Copy !req
253. Dale?
Copy !req
254. Nancy?
Copy !req
255. What are you doing, Dale?
Copy !req
256. Getting rid of Irv for you.
Copy !req
257. Could you leave a message
I called?
Copy !req
258. Not me, but me!
Copy !req
259. Attention, everybody!
Copy !req
260. Irv just informed me
we've got a wildfire!
Copy !req
261. Now, listen up:
Copy !req
262. I want us ready to go
to News Team coverage
Copy !req
263. as soon as this Seinfeld ends!
Copy !req
264. Miguel, you'll lead
and throw to Irv,
Copy !req
265. who'll be here in studio.
Copy !req
266. We need all hands
on this one, people!
Copy !req
267. Where do you want me?
Copy !req
268. You can head home.
Copy !req
269. We might need
to use your desk
Copy !req
270. in case the cameramen
need to sleep in shifts.
Copy !req
271. Are those the pants
you went to school in?
Copy !req
272. No, Dad.
Copy !req
273. Jimmy Bearden scared me,
and I peed myself,
Copy !req
274. so they gave me
"lost and found" pants.
Copy !req
275. Are you happy?
Copy !req
276. No. What happened?
Copy !req
277. You know that little conveyor
belt in the cafeteria
Copy !req
278. that takes your tray?
Copy !req
279. He was on it!
Copy !req
280. Get in the truck, Bobby.
Copy !req
281. We're going to fix
your problem for good.
Copy !req
282. Ohh...
Copy !req
283. Go change your pants, son.
Copy !req
284. And now
Copy !req
285. Action News
from Channel 84's news team:
Copy !req
286. Miguel Hernandez,
Copy !req
287. Don Ringle with sports,
Copy !req
288. and meteorologist Irv Bennett
Copy !req
289. with the latest
on the wildfires.
Copy !req
290. Oh, you call that
a turnaround?
Copy !req
291. Tell me, can that
compare to this?
Copy !req
292. Wow.
Copy !req
293. That is almost
too powerful in person.
Copy !req
294. Oh, thanks, sug,
Copy !req
295. but I know I'm finished
as a weather gal.
Copy !req
296. I don't even know
if I want to work
in an industry
Copy !req
297. that values brains
over beauty.
Copy !req
298. So you're just gonna give up?
Copy !req
299. That's not the Nancy
I know.
Copy !req
300. When are you going
to learn
Copy !req
301. that the real Doppler
is in here?
Copy !req
302. And that if you want
to keep your job,
Copy !req
303. you're going to have to do
everything in your power
Copy !req
304. to fight for it.
Copy !req
305. What do you mean?
Kill Irv?
Copy !req
306. No! Use the fire.
Copy !req
307. To kill Irv?
Copy !req
308. No!
Copy !req
309. Nancy, you cannot wait
Copy !req
310. for them to bring
the news to you.
Copy !req
311. You have to go out
and find it.
Copy !req
312. We'll go cover the fire
and force the station to see
Copy !req
313. how much of an asset you are.
Copy !req
314. Yeah...
Copy !req
315. Dale! Get out
of the hot tub!
Copy !req
316. We're stealing
a news van!
Copy !req
317. It's the perfect crime!
Copy !req
318. How will they ever
report it?
Copy !req
319. The thing is, Mr. Bearden,
Copy !req
320. your son
has left Bobby here,
Copy !req
321. uh, severely startled
on several occasions.
Copy !req
322. Where is Jimmy anyway?
Copy !req
323. You didn't see him outside?
Copy !req
324. He said he was going outside!
Copy !req
325. I'm sorry, Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
326. He does the same thing to me.
Copy !req
327. I can't help you.
Copy !req
328. Okay, it looks like you've got
a straight shot to your truck.
Copy !req
329. Watch out when you pass
that mailbox, though.
Copy !req
330. That kid can wedge himself
into anything.
Copy !req
331. Gotcha!
Copy !req
332. Okay. If we get stopped,
Nancy, you work here,
Copy !req
333. I'm looking
for directions,
Copy !req
334. and Peggy, you're
my shy assistant
with a speech impediment.
Copy !req
335. Go.
Copy !req
336. The scene here is one
of controlled frenzy.
Copy !req
337. Hola, señor.
Copy !req
338. I am Miguel Hernandez,
here to cover el fuego de wild.
Copy !req
339. Perfect.
Copy !req
340. You know the drill.
Copy !req
341. Stay in the media area.
Copy !req
342. Oh, forget it, sugs.
Copy !req
343. Everyone's already here.
Copy !req
344. And Lucy Murphy
from Channel 7
Copy !req
345. is wearing the same jacket I am.
Copy !req
346. What am I gonna get
that they won't?
Copy !req
347. You cannot give up now.
Copy !req
348. We already stole a van.
Copy !req
349. We have got
more initiative.
Copy !req
350. We're better than these sheep!
Copy !req
351. Yeah, you can barely
see the fire from here.
Copy !req
352. Let's go to where
you can hardly see here
from the fire!
Copy !req
353. Ooh, there's
Copy !req
354. an access road.
Drive up it
Copy !req
355. real casual like.
Copy !req
356. Got ya.
Copy !req
357. Oh, while those chumps
are down there looking at smoke,
Copy !req
358. we'll be in the heart
of the action.
Copy !req
359. The forecast for my career:
hot, hot, hot!
Copy !req
360. I am so excited!
Copy !req
361. They said I was just
a flash in the pan.
Copy !req
362. Well, now I am
in the pan, sug.
Copy !req
363. I am in the pan!
Copy !req
364. People might lose their homes,
but you will get your job back.
Copy !req
365. At least something good
will come out of this.
Copy !req
366. It's like smoking
every cigarette
Copy !req
367. I've ever smoked
all at once.
Copy !req
368. And it's smooth.
Copy !req
369. Oh, will you look:
Copy !req
370. that eagle is carrying
that rabbit out of harm's way.
Copy !req
371. Disaster brings out the best
in everyone.
Copy !req
372. Come on.
Let's get broadcasting.
Copy !req
373. Oh, my God,
that tree's on fire!
Copy !req
374. Nancy, go.
Copy !req
375. Go stand in front of it!
Copy !req
376. You're on!
Copy !req
377. No, this is not a home movie
in hell.
Copy !req
378. This is Nancy Hicks-Gribble
reporting live
Copy !req
379. from the scene
of the Heimlich wildfire.
Copy !req
380. Tonight's forecast
is for mid-70s
Copy !req
381. in the tri-county area
Copy !req
382. and the high 250s near here
in the heart of the blaze.
Copy !req
383. The fire is being fueled
Copy !req
384. by extraordinarily
dry conditions.
Copy !req
385. There are parts
of this forest
Copy !req
386. that haven't seen...
Copy !req
387. What's Nancy
doing out there?
Copy !req
388. As you can see behind me—
Copy !req
389. as well as in front of me,
and on either side—
Copy !req
390. what once was mere heat
is now actual fire.
Copy !req
391. Oh, oh, oh...
Copy !req
392. As our more observant viewers
can probably hear,
Copy !req
393. I'm having trouble breathing
with all the smoke.
Copy !req
394. My tongue has dried out and is
starting to stick to my teeth.
Copy !req
395. Either my eye
or my eyepiece is melting!
Copy !req
396. Well, that's probably
Mother Nature's way
Copy !req
397. of giving us
the wrap-it-up sign.
Copy !req
398. This has been
Nancy Hicks-Gribble...
Copy !req
399. No! No, not "has been"--
"still is"!
Copy !req
400. Keep going, Nancy!
Copy !req
401. We need our money shot!
Copy !req
402. There's your money shot.
Copy !req
403. Happy?
Copy !req
404. Okay, let's get to the van.
Copy !req
405. But we have to keep rolling,
people!
Copy !req
406. How do we get
Copy !req
407. this on there...
Copy !req
408. and that off there?
Copy !req
409. We interrupt our Wildfire Watch
coverage to bring you...
Copy !req
410. Really? I thought
she was at home.
Copy !req
411. To put it in layman's terms,
Copy !req
412. imagine crawling
in your own fireplace
Copy !req
413. while it's burning.
Copy !req
414. I want to see this footage
Copy !req
415. on every promo from now
Copy !req
416. until the Christmas toy drive.
Copy !req
417. And someone probably should tell
the fire department about them.
Copy !req
418. Nancy,
Copy !req
419. the van's on fire!
Copy !req
420. Oh, my gosh!
Copy !req
421. Show it...
Copy !req
422. show it...
Copy !req
423. Yes!
Copy !req
424. Got dang it!
Copy !req
425. How'd we lose them?
Copy !req
426. The van exploded.
Copy !req
427. I could drive
another van up there!
Copy !req
428. We already have another van
in the media area.
Copy !req
429. Uplink it! I want to be
seeing fire, not hearing you.
Copy !req
430. The fire's everywhere, sug!
Copy !req
431. We're never gonna get out!
Copy !req
432. Oh, God!
Copy !req
433. Baby, I always hoped
we'd die together.
Copy !req
434. Peggy,
Copy !req
435. you go die over there.
Copy !req
436. I don't want to die!
Copy !req
437. I just want to read
the weather.
Copy !req
438. Don't be silly.
Copy !req
439. We can't die if we're on TV.
Copy !req
440. They'd never air it!
Copy !req
441. I don't care anymore!
Copy !req
442. I'm scared!
Copy !req
443. And I don't want
to go to heaven
Copy !req
444. with brown roots!
Copy !req
445. We've got picture!
Copy !req
446. Gimme five?
Copy !req
447. The Arlen and McMaynerbury
Fire Departments
Copy !req
448. report that during
the containment of the blaze,
Copy !req
449. several horses in the area
Copy !req
450. had to be airlifted out.
Copy !req
451. In a related story,
Copy !req
452. so did our own
Nancy Hicks-Gribble...
Copy !req
453. Now, son, you can't
keep scaring people like this.
Copy !req
454. Pretty soon you'll be
too big to squeeze
Copy !req
455. into the ductwork.
Copy !req
456. Bwaagh!
Copy !req
457. So are you gonna stop
scaring my boy?
Copy !req
458. 'Cause I've got a wife
who likes to hide and yell, too.
Copy !req
459. Well, glad you learned
your lesson, Jimmy.
Copy !req
460. Oh, crap.
Copy !req
461. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
462. I don't wanna die.
Copy !req
463. I just wanna read the weather.
Copy !req
464. You steal a news van.
Copy !req
465. A bunch of equipment.
Copy !req
466. And destroy it all.
Copy !req
467. I feel so stupid.
Copy !req
468. I wish I was in that van
when it exploded.
Copy !req
469. Are you kidding? You put
Channel 84 on the map.
Copy !req
470. We've got more
requests
Copy !req
471. for that footage
of you blubbering
Copy !req
472. than of that panda
baby at the zoo.
Copy !req
473. Really?
Copy !req
474. I want to reposition
Nancy Hicks-Gribble
Copy !req
475. as an integral part
of the Channel 84 team.
Copy !req
476. So, I'm back on weather?
Copy !req
477. No.
Copy !req
478. It turns out
people really do care
Copy !req
479. about accurate weather.
Copy !req
480. Irv's not gonna go anywhere,
Copy !req
481. but people did
respond to you.
Copy !req
482. What's left for me to do?
Copy !req
483. I dunno. News?
Copy !req
484. So it looks like
the Arlen Jaycees
Copy !req
485. are going to be having
that potato-sack race indoors.
Copy !req
486. Now, I'd like to welcome a new
addition to the anchor desk,
Copy !req
487. but it's a face
you already know.
Copy !req
488. Say hello to our new co-anchor,
Nancy Hicks-Gribble.
Copy !req
489. Thanks, Irv.
Copy !req
490. It's great to be a part
of the team, sug.
Copy !req
491. Have you been
feeling itchy lately?
Copy !req
492. We may have the reason why.
Copy !req
493. It has nothing to do
with the Barbecue Hut
Copy !req
494. off I-10. Delicious.
Copy !req
495. Peggy, you go die
over there.
Copy !req
