[Sobbing]

Won't you tell me why I love

[Zips pants]

That girly so

[Kissing]

She doesn't want me

CHUCK:  The constant inarticulate rage led to bar fight after bar fight.

[Faint laughter]

TV ANNOUNCER:  New York is a city of people, the only state in the union to stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.  Directly across the avenue is -- you're right again.

BARRIS:  I had heard that television ...

was an industry with a future ...

so I packed up and moved from Philly to Manhattan.

[NBC theme plays]

TOUR GUIDE:  We began making commercial broadcasts in 1941, and in 1953 NBC made the first ever color telecast by a network during "The Colgate Comedy Hour."  Now we'll have a look at the studio where they produce "The Today Show," which NBC began broadcasting in 1952.

New York, 1955

CHUCK:  Excuse me, miss.  Do you know where I could apply for an NBC page?

TOUR GUIDE:  Such as "The Perry Como Show," which you can tune into on Saturdays at 7:30.  "The Nat King Cole Show," which you won't want to miss, on Tuesdays at 8 P.M.  And hold on one second.  OK.  And my personal favorite, "The Lux Show," starring Rosemary Clooney ...

CHUCK:  ... which you can enjoy every Thursday at 10:00.  And of course, "The Steve Allen Show," which delights us every Sunday at 8:00.  You may also be interested to know that Steve Allen actually got his start in entertainment as an NBC page.  Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll follow me --

MARY-ANN:  Raymond -- in accounting?  He's kind of cute, huh?

WOMAN:  Cute is all well and good, Mary-Ann, but what you want is a man who's going places.  A go-getter on the management fast track.

MARY-ANN:  What about Mr. Waters?

CHUCK:  Yeah, management training application, please.  How many people have applied for this so far?

WOMAN:  Let's see.  Including you?  About 2,000.

CHUCK:  For how many positions?

WOMAN:  Five.

CHUCK:  Thanks, ma'am.
