"I'm a PRO-FESSIONAL! Look it up in the book!"
Another classic tape from Larry King. Unbelievable! It has spawned many quips that you might hear anytime in the show, such as
"I'm lost..", "It's way up there..", and "..and don'tworryabouttheclub..", a slur that is almost unintelligible. Look below for
the transcript.
The Larry King Rave Out Story
Below is a transcript of The Larry King Rave Out.
I got one more question, ah I'm a student of print journalism, and I just
wanted to know, ah, what advice do you have for ah ah young people coming
up into the field. Like, I uh, a lot of ah prof-profess-professors are telling
us how hard it is to get into the field for us, I'd just like to know, since
you're in the field if you had any advice on that. Fer
instance, experience, is that important?
Uh huh, sure.
Is that the probably the most important, ah element?
Well it's way up there.
It's way up there? Anything, anything else? Anything you can-
Pressure under fire..Done this before..I don't want it to be his first ah
surgery.
N'kay
Applied himself well..
Mmm-hmmm
These are the things I'd have confidence in the young MD.
Okay. I'm talking about journalism field.
I'm lost, what do you mean?
J-Journalism. I'm like..I'm I'm a student of Journalism at a college. And I
was just wondering the most important aspect of getting into journalism.
Not the medical field. I think you're exhausted from thirty nights.
I am exhausted after thirty nights. No no person, even those of us who are
superhuman. Even those of us with ah herculean appetites for the diverse
and the bizarre. Even those of us who ah, who've shown an aptitude to ah..
to aaaaaahhh..fight the good fight, and stay the good long battle. Even
those of us can get tired. And your boy is tired after thirty consecutive
nights. I've a half an hour to go, and I'm gonna do that half hour because
I'm a pro. That's what pros do. I'm a PRO-fessional. Look it up in the
book.
Oh-kay..
That's what we do, we're pros. We're never rude, and we don't cop out. We
don't tell you that we're ill, or that we're looking for the farmhouse in the
middle of the desert, or that we're parched. We don't tell you that maybe the
check didn't come through this month, or where the hell does it go anyway, if
you're a guy who's left 16 forwarding addresses.
Oh-kay.
So, what do you do, what is the answer? Yeah, you're a little perturbed, now.
Kinda worried about the club?
The club?
No, don't worry about the club, worry about maybe..JACKY might worry..NAH,
don't worry. Okay, just cool it..Life is a breeze. 'Course some breezes, as
you know, are a hundred and ten miles an hour and get promoted up
to hurricanes, I just thought I'd pass that along. We're go-speaking of
passing along, we're gonna pass along, now to the newsroom, the Mutual
Newsroom, high atop the overlooking downtown beautiful downtown studios of
Rosslyn Virginia, Washington DC..The Mutual Newsroom will get us up to date
on the news headlines and we'll come back with a little more Open Phone
America and we'll have our salute to my man Duke Ziebert by taking him
to one ah of his favorite places, one of mine too - town of COOPERStown,
New York. This is the Larry King show in Washington, aaaand we'll be
right back.
