Just a minute, Mr Welden. I think...
:03:04
Uh-uh.
:03:08
I'm sorry, I thought I heard Mr Falco.
:03:10
Yes, I'll tell him when he returns.
:03:14
I know. He's been trying to get in touch...
:03:19
It's the third time he's called today.
:03:21
- Probably wants me to break a leg.
- No, an arm, he said.

:03:24
I told him the item would be in
Mr Hunsecker's column tomorrow.

:03:28
- It isn't.
- But...

:03:32
I saw the early edition.
:03:34
- But, Sidney...
- But. But, but, but what?

:03:38
That makes five days in a row
Mr Hunsecker's cut you out of his column.

:03:41
May I rent you out as an adding machine?
Get me Joe Robard.

:03:45
Anybody else call?
:03:48
The renting agent and your tailor.
:03:50
Pay the rent and tell the tailor to wait.
:03:54
It won't leave much balance in the bank.
:03:56
Hello, Mr Robard?
:03:59
Could you locate him, please?
:04:02
Here.
:04:08
Watch me run a 50-yard dash
with my legs cut off.

:04:11
Hey, Joe. It's Sidney.
:04:13
How do you like this?
I'm running outta alibis.

:04:16
Oh, no. I asked JJ to withhold the item
until he'd give you a fat paragraph.

:04:20
- You're a liar, Sidney.
- What do mean, "a liar"?

:04:22
Oh, it's a publicity man's nature to be
a liar. I wouldn't hire you if you wasn't.

:04:27
I pay you a C and a half,
where you plant big lies

:04:30
about me and the club all over the map.
:04:32
- If that's the way you mean it...
- Yeah, I do.

:04:34
But also in the sense
that you are a personal liar too,

:04:38
because you don't do the work
I pay you for.

:04:41
When I spoke to JJ last night...
