Cue the Patton Music

Couric's voice "What is this word sputum being used in my NEWS COPY?"

News Editor's voice "Well Ms. Couric it is the proper word to use in the story .... sputum is a mixture of ....

Slapping noise

Couric's voice "I will not have that word used on MY BROADCASTS .... I have worked
too hard and fired too many personal assistants to have a word I HATE to be slipped
into my copy. Why you sniffering little worm I might as well fire you on the spot."

Scuffling noises

Couric's voice "Get him out of here ... send him back to the overnight shift. I will
not allow such a word as sputum to stink up my broadcasts. Using the term sputum is the cowards
way to right news copy."

Bring back up the Patton music.

“I sort of slapped him around,” Couric, 50, confirms. “I got mad at him and said, ‘You can’t do this to me.
You have to tell me when you’re going to use a word like that.’ I was aggravated, there’s no question about that.”
