Corey Finley:
[shocked]
What?
C.J. Nicholas:
[shocked]
You gotta be kidding me.
Martin Weldon:
Have you looked at your ratings?
C.J. Nicholas:
No.
Martin Weldon:
Well, it's not a pretty sight. It just so happens that the folks who own this place have this funny little obsession about ratings. It seems that ratings pay the rent. No ratings, no rent. So you guys are both going on general assignment.
Corey Finley:
Oh, come on.
Martin Weldon:
I don't like this anymore than you do. Hey, I saw your documentary. That's why I hired you. I know you're good.
C.J. Nicholas:
[desperate]
What about the story?
Martin Weldon:
What story? You've got some stones coming in here and using the word "proof." You answer me one simple question- How in the hell could Detective Merchant plant that cigarette butt at the crime scene when the interview took place three days after the crime scene photographs were taken?
[beat]
Martin Weldon:
Now pick up your assignments at the front desk and get out of here.
