But now moving into episode four here, we open up in the newsroom and Murray and Mary are watching Ted do the news where he is talking about Western Germany that has discovered a secret cache of weapons which seems to have been buried since World War II.
And Mary says, what a shame.
A few more minutes and he would have gone a whole episode without a mistake.
And now the phone rings and Marie has called and we can't hear her side of the conversation, but Marie tells her to calm down.
And apparently Marie is upset because she thinks the water heater is busted and wants Marie to rush right home.
Marie says, there's only a few minutes left.
Go ahead.
And Marie thanks her and he's on his way, but the light is on.
the background saying on air and Murray tells Mary to keep her eye on the machine that Murray points to because that's where news alerts will come out that may potentially need to be rushed onto the air and given to Ted before he ends his broadcast.
Mary prepares her typewriter, puts a piece of paper in, has it ready to go.
Should anything breaking come? Mary looks at the clock, looks at her watch, and suddenly there's a ringing and a clanking, and it is the news report machine, and Lou comes running out.
What's happening? And Mary says, Mary's hot water heater broke.
Lou wants to know what the story is.
There's a fire that's threatening a munitions plant out on the outskirts of town.
And Mary, you know, there was a munitions plant.
Lou says to hurry up, type it, get it to Ted before he goes off the air.

And while granted she's the associate producer, Murray's the writer.
I would think that she would have been better prepared for this, but I could be wrong.
Lou is standing behind her very anxious as Mary attempts to type and then makes a mistake and crosses it out.
And, of course, this is all before computers, ladies and gentlemen.
Typewriter, not even an electric typewriter.
Lou is practically bouncing right behind her, making her very nervous.
And she tells him again that she's nervous with him standing right there.
