A scene from UHF 1989
R.J. Fletcher

[laughing smugly with a present in hand]

Aw, Richard. You shouldn't have.

Richard Fletcher

Happy Fathers Day, Daaaad.

R.J. Fletcher

[looks in the box, throws the present back at his son]

What is this piece of crap?! I thought I told you I wanted a Rolex! A Rolex! [a knock on R.J.'s office door] What?!

Station Employee

[A station employee opens the door cautiously and sheepishly, wearing a large white cowboy hat with a big feather band and a raccoon tail.]

Sir?

R.J. Fletcher

What do you want?

Station Employee

I just thought I ought to tell you sir, that there's been a lot of talk on the street about this Channel 62. They're... they're starting to get a pretty strong following.

R.J. Fletcher

Excuse me? Did you say Channel 62?

Station Employee

Uh huh...

R.J. Fletcher

Do I have to remind you, that we are a network affiliate? And we are in competition with other networks, not with a bunch of punks, broadcasting out of a closet!

Station Employee

But, s..s..s..

R.J. Fletcher

Do you enjoy wasting my time? Get out of my office! [employee starts to leave] And take that ridiculous thing off!
[The station employee stops, waits a minute, then takes off...his mustache and leaves!]
