1:23:03

Fletch?

1:23:04

Man...
[Laughing]

1:23:06

- You don't know me, Sam.
- My pleasure, brother.

1:23:09

I'm a reporter, Sam.

1:23:10

I'm breaking the story
on the drug traffic around here.

1:23:14

Gummy's turning
State's evidence.

1:23:16

I got good proof
is the chief.

1:23:18

You gonna bust the chief?

1:23:20

Gonna bust the chief.

1:23:24

I could use your help.

1:23:29

I'm a slave to that
son of a bitch.

1:23:32

He busted me,
third offense.

1:23:34

Said push for him or do 15 long.
All I get from this is free junk.

1:23:39

- You don't have a piece of the action?
- No. Free junk, thas it.

1:23:48

Hey, how you doing?

1:23:49

Albert Einstein's forehead.
You like it? Won it in a raffle.

1:23:53

Fellas, stay with me.

1:23:55

Fletch?

1:23:58

Whas up?

1:24:00

- I'm quitting at midnight.
- Who are they?

1:24:02

This is Fat Sam and Gummy.
Come with me.

1:24:05

Their statements
name Chief Karlin...

1:24:07

as the number one drug pusher
from here to Oxnard.

1:24:10

I want them to have Federal protection
sponsored by the paper. OK?

1:24:17

- This is wonderful.
- I'm out, Frank.

1:24:19

- You lost faith in me.
- Fletch, I got nervous.

1:24:23

Forget it.
I'm writing the story.

1:24:25

Hold the last two paragraphs
till 10:00.

1:24:27

You want an apology?

1:24:30

- You were going to can me, right?
- No, not really.

1:24:33

- Not really?
- I was upset. You know.

1:24:39

OK. Jesus,
I'm sick of this place.

1:24:42

Ow.

1:24:43

I'll try out for the Lakers.
They need a power forward.

1:24:47

This is a hell of a story.

1:24:50

Thanks.

1:24:51

- About these guys...
- They're fine.

1:24:53

You don't have valuables
in there, do you?
