R.J. Fletcher:
[Just as Harvey is about to sign U-62 over to Fletcher, George raises the last of the $75 thousand needed to pay off Big Louie]
Now wait just one minute! What do you think you're doing? George Newman:
...WE DID IT! THE STATION'S OURS! Harvey Bilchik:
[Everybody cheers as a triumphant fanfare plays, amid fireworks]
Wow, look at that! [He tears up Fletcher's bill of sale without signing] R.J. Fletcher:
[furious]
YOU CAN'T DO THIS! We had an agreement, remember? An oral contract! I'll sue! Harvey Bilchik:
Blow it out your ear, scuzzbag! FCC Man:
Are you R.J. Fletcher? R.J. Fletcher:
So what if I am? FCC Man:
I'm John Vector of the FCC. I noticed that your station is late in filing for its license renewal this year. Normally, this kind of violation is punishable by a very stiff fine. But I've seen your recent editorial; it made a very big impression on me, and on the community. R.J. Fletcher:
Oh, now, just wait a second; I was framed! [indicates George] R.J. Fletcher:
He set me up! FCC Man:
Yeah... Well, that's what they all say, isn't it? So I'm revoking your license, effective immediately. R.J. Fletcher:
[stuttering]
But, but haven't I - But, but how can...! FCC Man:
No, no buts about it. You're off the air, period. Good luck finding a new career! Pamela Finklestein:
Pamela Finklestein here, coming to you with the most incredible turn of events. Not only has the once-powerful corporate broadcasting giant known as Channel 8 been thoroughly crushed and defeated at their own dirty game... But now, as luck would have it, they've been permanently stripped of their license by the FCC! [turns directly to Fletcher; stern tone] Pamela Finklestein:
So what do you have to say about it, you worthless slobbering pig? [She winks at the camera]
