0:00.0	From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.
0:05.9	You listen, if you listen and learn, then you're going to be able to do anything you want this time.
0:11.6	Everybody thinks his own business, really, really, all white life, he doesn't clean, clean.
0:19.1	Oh, I'm afraid we've gone Hollywood.
0:22.5	This week on the business, people thought life of pie couldn't be made into a movie.
0:26.9	Elizabeth Gabler is the executive who got Fox to roll the dice.
