:59:01
Yes.
:59:03
I was wondering, Colonel, if I couldn't...
:59:06
...weave it into this piece
about the climate.
:59:09
Sayin' how sorry we was that the Chinaman...
:59:11
...was goin' to miss the salubrious spell of
weather we're expectin' next week.
:59:16
All topics sound hollow
and commonplace compared to...
:59:19
...the glorious climate of California, Mr. Wigham.
:59:23
Mr. McTavish was in again.
:59:25
What did he want?
:59:26
He had an item about the
roulette wheel at the Bella Donna.
:59:29
He says it's crooked,
that they stole a small fortune...
:59:32
...from a young fellow playing there last night.
:59:34
It's quite an interesting item, Colonel.
:59:37
Avoid all mundane matters,
and we shall flourish like a green bay tree.
:59:46
The beacon of the press.
:59:49
In the hell to which all journalists must
descend when they die...
:59:53
...we shall sit at red-hot desks
with quills of fire in our hand...
:59:57
...and spend eternity writing about
the salubrious weather of that region.
1:00:01
Let us serve our apprenticeship here
thoroughly and intelligently.
1:00:08
How do you spell "aurora borealis?"
1:00:13
Call it Mr. Chamalis' rosy-fingered dawn.
1:00:33
What's that?
1:00:34
You've got eyes, go on and read it.
It's news, that's what it is.
1:00:38
News you wouldn't print
in that yellow-dog paper of yours.
1:00:41
You'd better not put that up. There'll be trouble.
1:00:43
There will that...
1:00:44
I strongly advise against it, sir.
Mr. McTavish, take that down.
1:00:49
You had...
1:00:52
I warned you.
1:00:53
Go on back inside
and write a story about the climate.
1:00:57
Stop where you are, sir!
