Mary goes to Lou because she feels her talents are being wasted. She has just requisitioned some paper clips and sees no challenge to her job. She goes to see Lou and he agrees, so he gives her a crummy job he would have had to do. She is to fire the old sportscaster and hire a new one. The firing is hilarious as the guy thinks she is coming on to him. Meanwhile, back at the station, Ted is going to do the sports until the new guy is hired. He walks stiff legged because he has purchased a pair of "conquistador" boots. There are all sorts of sight gags going on. Mary is now faced with hiring a sportscaster. She takes this task so seriously that she can't sleep at night. She hires a very competent, handsome guy and he does just fine, although his first night all he does is read three scores. Mary falls apart. All her work, listening to all those tapes, has led to this. Three scores. She goes into Lou's office beside herself, and it's hilarious. He tells her that all we are is meaningless dust in the vast universe, worth nothing and nothing we do matters. She leaves the office, tears falling, saying, "I feel so much better." The incredible timing of the two characters make this so precious.
