:02:01
He didn't order a steak,
he ordered a cow.
:02:04
You have to hand it to him.
He loved to live.
:02:07
Yeah?
:02:08
Have you gone crazy?
Let's go to press.!
:02:10
We've only got 18 minutes
to catch the mail trains.!
:02:12
I got the greatest first page here
since the Chicago fire!
:02:15
Old man Reynolds is dyin'
and I'm gonna get the flash
he's dead any minute!
:02:18
Let him die
in the next edition.!
And let the Herald beat us?
:02:22
He's gonna die for me,
exclusive! He's mine!
:02:24
But the mail trains...
He dies for me, not the Herald.
:02:27
But the advertisers...
Tell the advertisers to go
to the Herald.!
:02:31
What are you standin' around
with your face hangin' out for?
:02:34
Gimme two columns on Reynolds'
son flying in from Mexico.
Right.
:02:37
You know, lump-in-the-throat stuff.
:02:38
"Only son flies to father's deathbed.
Will he make it? Won't he make it?"
:02:41
Slobber all over the place,
but keep it classy!
:02:43
And write it both ways,
if he makes it or if he doesn't.
:02:47
As long as he has to go,
please have him go not later than 9:20.
:02:50
That dirty Herald's
been gettin' all the breaks.
:02:54
Yeah? What do you mean,
he isn't dead yet?
:02:56
Frank, I gotta have some action!
:02:58
What am I supposed to do,
hit him over the head?
:03:01
I've been standing in a foot of water
and I caught a cold.
:03:03
You've got a cold. Reynolds is dying!
:03:06
At least he's doing it in a nice, warm bed.
:03:08
I got something. Two ravens
from the national museum...
:03:10
Are inside the house
waiting to take his death mask.
:03:13
Seems you gotta do it right away.
No, I didn't get their names.
:03:15
Wait a minute.
Somebody's coming.
:03:19
It's a car!
Must be Reynolds' son.
:03:21
How do I know?
'Cause he came up the wrong way
on a one-way street!
:03:27
Frank, I'm warnin' you,
if Reynolds isn't dead within a half hour,
don't come back here!
:03:31
Go ahead, threaten me!
I got pneumonia!
:03:34
He's getting out of the car.
It's the Reynolds kid,
all right!
:03:37
He's goin'in the house.!
There he goes.
:03:40
Hello, Roberts.
:03:43
It's good you got here
in time, sir.
:03:54
Hello, Johnny.
:03:56
How is he, Doctor?
:03:58
Not so good.
There's a chance,
isn't there?
