:34:00
- Matter of fact, I haven't got any plans.
- No?
:34:03
Except to get out a newspaper.
:34:10
- Mr.Bernstein.
- Yes, Mr.Kane.
:34:12
Mr.Carter, this is Mr.Bernstein.
:34:15
- Mr.Bernstein is my general manager.
- How do you do, Mr.Carter?
:34:20
- Mr.Carter.
- How do you do?
:34:23
- Yes, Mr.Bernstein.
- Stein.
:34:25
- Kane.
- Mr.Carter, is this your office?
:34:29
My little private sanctum
is at your disposal.
:34:33
- Excuse me.
- But I don't think I understand.
:34:37
Mr.Carter, I'm going to live right here
in your office as long as I have to.
:34:42
Live here? Yes?
:34:44
- Excuse me.
- But a morning newspaper, after all--
:34:47
Excuse me.
:34:48
We're practically closed for 12 hours a day.
:34:52
That's one of the things
that's going to have to be changed here.
:34:55
- The news goes on for 24 hours a day.
- 24?
:34:59
- That's right.
- Excuse me.
:35:02
It's impossible....
:35:04
I've drawn that cartoon.
I'm no good as a cartoonist.
:35:09
You certainly aren't.
:35:11
You're the dramatic critic, Leland.
:35:13
- You still eating?
- I'm still hungry.
:35:15
Here's a front-page story in the Chronicle...
:35:18
...about a Mrs.Harry Silverstone
in Brooklyn who's missing.
:35:21
She's probably murdered. Why isn't
there something about it in the Inquirer?
:35:25
We're running a newspaper...
:35:27
- I'm absolutely starving to death.
- ...not a scandal sheet.
:35:31
That's all right.
:35:32
Mr.Carter, here is a three-column headline
in the Chronicle.
:35:37
Why hasn't the Inquirer
a three-column headline?
:35:39
The news wasn't big enough.
:35:41
Mr.Carter, if the headline is big enough,
it makes the news big enough.
:35:45
- That's right!
- The murder of Mrs.Harry Silverstone--
:35:48
There's no proof
that she was murdered, or dead.
:35:50
It says she's missing.
The neighbors are getting suspicious.
:35:53
It's not our function
to report the gossip of housewives.
:35:56
If we were interested in that kind of thing,
we could fill the paper twice over, daily.
