Adrian Cronauer:
[in the control room after the confrontation between the censor and Dickerson over the Jimmy Wah bombing... both are watching from outside the control room window]
Good Morning, Vietnam! Hey, I know it's not the morning, but that's my trademark, and 'good evening' sounds too depressing. Hey, we're going right now to news
[orally imitates teletype]
Adrian Cronauer:
From England... today, Princess Margaret threw a shoe!
[stammering]
Adrian Cronauer:
Queen Elizabeth... Elizabeth Taylor! She's still married after six months! Way to go, Liz! Yay!
[bumps his head against mic in anguish]
Adrian Cronauer:
RIGHT! In... in Saigon today, according to official sources, nothing actually happened. One thing that didn't officially happen was a bomb didn't officially explode at 1430 hours, unofficially destroying Jimmy Wah's cafe.
Sgt. Major Dickerson:
[to censor]
Get him out of there!
Adrian Cronauer:
Three men were unofficially wounded, and two men whose identities are not known at this time...
Sgt. Major Dickerson:
[to censor as both are trying to get into the locked studio]
Break the goddamn door down!
Adrian Cronauer:
...the fire department responded, which we believe to be unofficial at this present moment...
Sgt. Major Dickerson:
[bursting into engineering room and barks to engineer]
Turn it off! Now!
Adrian Cronauer:
I just want to think that you should...
[the VU needles rest on their pins as the console goes dark... Cronauer removes his headphones and pushes mic boom aside]
