What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTom Cruise's new film Digger fell about sixty percent in its second weekend, and the BBC says it could lose two hundred forty-five million dollars.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSixty percent! That means forty percent of people still showed up, and I find that incredibly moving.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt could become one of Hollywood's biggest flops ever, Vera. That's quite the fall for a man who jumps off mountains.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOr it's an exclusive screening. Plenty of legroom, no one chewing in your ear, the ushers get the best seats.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo hundred forty-five million dollars of exclusive.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd attend that members-only event in a heartbeat. Is there a gift bag?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThere's a mop, Vera, and I think the ushers already own it.
