: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.
:36:01
That's the kind of thing we are going to be
interested in from now on.
:36:04
I want you to send your best man
to see Mr.Silverstone.
:36:07
Have him tell Mr.Silverstone if he doesn't
produce his wife, Mrs.Silverstone...
:36:11
...the Inquirer will have him arrested.
:36:13
Tell Mr.Silverstone
he's a detective from....
:36:16
- Central Office.
- The Central Office.
:36:19
If Mr.Silverstone gets suspicious
and asks to see your man's badge...
:36:23
...your man is to get indignant
and call Mr.Silverstone an anarchist.
:36:27
Loudly, so the neighbors can hear.
You ready for dinner, Jedediah?
:36:31
I can't see that the function
of a respectable newspaper--
:36:34
Thank you so much, Mr.Carter. Goodbye.
:36:38
Goodbye.
:36:40
Paper! Read all about it!
:36:43
Read all about it
in the early morning Chronicle.
:36:46

that vanished in Brooklyn.
