Dan's Got A Secret

"Sports Night" is property of Touchtone Pictures and Aaron Sorkin. But they have abandoned it, so we have it now.

1. Conference room. The 4 o'clock meeting is nearly finished, and Dana is noticeably aggravated with Casey.

DANA: So, I'll see you all back here for the 9 o'clock rundown.

[Casey begins to shuffle his papers, preparing to leave.]

DANA: Casey, do you have anything *else* you want to say?

CASEY: No, not really. I just don't know why we're suddenly giving coverage to women's boxing.

NATALIE: I think that's verging on the edge of a sexist comment. What do you think, Dana?

DANA: I think you might just be right.

CASEY: [standing up] All right, fine with me. If you want to kill the ratings, fine. All I'm saying is, I don't think women's boxing is a real ratings-grabber.

DAN: Now you know how I feel about soccer.

DANA: Well, I, for one, think that women's boxing is on the cusp of greatness. I, for one--

JEREMY: Wouldn't that be for two?

DANA and NATALIE: Shut up, Jeremy.

DANA: I think that female boxers should get at *least* as much attention from this program as male boxers do. And didn't we do fight coverage from Bally's Park Palace in Atlantic City right here on this very show?

CASEY: Yes, we did.

DAN: And, might I add, it was the most painful special program I've ever done.

KIM: Except for Draft Day 2000.

DAN: [looking at Dana] I thought we weren't going to mention that any more.

DANA: Kim, we're not mentioning that any more.

DAN: Okay, then. I'll see you later. [turns to Dana] I'm starting to feel it. I'm getting there.

DANA: Where's that, Dan?

DAN: I'm gettin' into the zone!
