Morning Glory Page #11

Synopsis: Becky (Rachel McAdams) is a hard-working morning TV show producer, or at least she was until she got fired. Desperate to get a job, she finally gets an interview with Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) - who is desperate to hire a producer for the struggling show "Daybreak". Becky accepts the job and it proves to be more difficult than even she might be able to handle. She has to fire the sexist co-host, then try to convince egotistical news reporter, Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), to take the job, and then try and get him to actually do the job, properly. And she has to do this while falling for handsome Adam (Patrick Wilson), and trying to save the show from plummeting ratings. Will Becky be able to hold on to her dream job and her sanity?

Chinese people, move, move, move!

Thank you!

Celery. Peppers. Cheese. Cheese.

Yeah, thank you very much.

We wanted to know what your plans

are for sports coverage.

Sports. Great, OK.

Great.

I love sports.

Come on, move, move!

Let's go, let's go!

- Get it in there, slide it in!

- Mike, tell us what you need.

I need a cutting board, good knife,

nice plate, bowl, whisk.

What is this, rubber?

Get me a real bowl.

- Where are my eggs?!

- Cue over to three.

- Where are my goddamn eggs?!

- Eggs for Mike, please!

In respect to sports, I think that it's

really important to reach out

to women through their kids

because it's not that big of a step

to go from being a soccer mom

to, you know, a...

Oh, my God. What is he doing?

Sorry, I just...

This is... Mike Pomeroy is having

a nervous breakdown on air.

That's kind of big news.

...a meal for their afternoon repast,

something they could make

using whatever ingredients

- they had available.

- Holy sh*t.

I've been making frittata

for about 20 years now,

ever since I was taught how to,

on a naked weekend

with a beautiful Italian movie star,

who shall, of course,

remain nameless.

Occasionally, I make them at home.

But only for people that I...

People I really care about.

Now the key to a great frittata

is a very hot pan,

because that, my friends,

is what makes it... fluffy.

We'll let this firm up a little bit.

- Dash of pepper.

- I'm sorry. I...

You watchin' this?

- Becky?

- Yes, I... yeah.

He is not gonna ask you twice.

We'll give it a few seconds,

then we'll pop it in the hot oven.

Bye! Thanks!

A little pepper.

Stand by. He's goin' back to the oven.

Ready three.

A lot of people like a glass of di Gavi.

Gavi di Gavi, perhaps.

I, myself, like a... Barolo.

I'll just free up the edges.

Next week on the show,

I'll show you how to make

a fantastic beignet,

which the rabble like to call...

...doughnuts.

The old bastard.

You know, he's still the

third worst person in the world.

Yeah, I know.

That's good.

That's really good.

I want a tropical fruit plate.

"His gravity leavens

the silliness of morning TV,

making for an incongruous

but somehow perfect match.

Turns out that after 40 years

in the business,

the real Mike Pomeroy

has finally arrived."

Not bad.

By the way, I'm getting

my prostate checked next week.

I thought I'd take a crew with me.

- That's a great idea. We...

- Jesus, I'm kidding.

No, seriously, they have these

little teeny, tiny cameras

- that go right up your...

- No, no, no.

What if we got you

a body double?

- No!

- No?

Not in a thousand years.
