Fox has published a partial transcript from Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes' appearance before the Television Critics Association, but we've got the unreleased portion of his dialogue with FNC anchor Shep Smith:

AILES:What I'd like to do is introduce to you a man who was going to be here, as I said, tonight. I think he's the finest anchor in primetime news anywhere in the country. He's been working pretty hard, and it's, I guess, ten hours later. He's in northern Israel right now. This is Shep Smith.

Shep, can you hear me? I think there's a four-second delay.

SHEPARD SMITH: I'm used to that one, boss.

AILES: All right, Shep. First of all, I'm going to throw it open to questions here, Shep, if you can handle it, but I think you've handled pretty tough audiences in your life.

[unreleased transcript follows]

SMITH: Thank you, sir.

AILES: And let's not bullshit. Your family name ain't the best in the news. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?

SMITH: Just want to serve my country, be the best anchor in the news, sir.

AILES: Don't screw around with me, Smith. You're a hell of an instinctive anchor. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar. I gotta do something here, I still can believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.
