Fox Executive #1: Well, we did it! High-fives!
Fox Executive # 2: Yeah!
Fox Executive # 3: Booyah!
1: ...You guys don't know what we're celebrating, do you.
2: We got Wayne Brady back on network TV?
3: We didn't greenlight Cavemen?
1: Certainly, we all should be very proud of both those things. But I actually was talking about the Emmys.
3: The what-ies?
2: What in the HELL could the Emmys possibly have to do with Fox?
1: Hey! We win them sometimes! 24!
2: Not this year.
3: I know, right?
1: It's aaaaaaall about next year, when Kelsey Grammer is definitely going to get nominated for Back To You.
2 & 3: [silence]
1: Right?
2 & 3: Totally!
1: That's what I thought you said.
2: So...the Emmys?
1: Oh, right. They're going to be on Fox this year!
2: Shut the fuck up.
1: No, really!
3: The Emmys. On Fox. Network.
1: Did I stutter?
2: I'm just surprised. NBC has the Golden Globes, ABC has the Oscars; we don't even get People's Choice! You know, there's this idea -- and I'm not saying I subscribe to it -- that Fox isn't really the mark of quality.
1: Yeah, I know.
3: I hear it all the time: "Oh, your shows are crap! Oh, whenever you do fall ass-backwards into something decent, you screw it up! When's Andy Richter Controls The Universe coming back?"
1: Right, but--
2: My maid is like, "Oh, Señor Dos, I was such a fan of the Briscoe County Jr., but now your shows are all caca!"
1: Yeah, that was a good one, but--
3: I tried to get my seven-year-old into Family Guy, but he's like, "It's so dumb!"
1: I GET IT. But that's why getting the Emmy broadcast is such a big deal for us! It's our chance to show that Fox is good for more than trash and pap! Let's demonstrate our capacity to class it up!
2: I love it!
3: Let's get gold-plated toilet seats!
