:05:25
I'm so nervous.
What if he doesn't like my stuff?
:05:28
-He's gonna love it.
-They say he's the toughest editor.
:05:32
-You're the best.
-If he doesn't ask...
:05:34
...for what you write,
you won't work on the paper.
:05:37
He's not gonna ask.
He's gonna beg.
:05:39
He's gonna get on his knees
and say:
:05:41
"Darcy Elliot, please send us
every word you write."
:05:44
Yeah, what if he doesn't?
God, my socks are still wet.
:06:03
Fascinating.
:06:04
Your state representative actually
spoke at your school assembly?
:06:09
Did you read what he said?
He really gave it to our mayor.
:06:13
"Swampy soccer field
flooded with frogs"?
:06:16
A couple thousand of them.
:06:18
I asked the
Department of Agriculture.
:06:20
Their water table had risen,
so the eggs didn't dry up--
:06:23
That's quite a story.
:06:26
I hope The Washington Post
picked that one up.
:06:30
Look, Donald, this sounds like
small potatoes to you--
:06:33
It's Ronald.
:06:36
Excuse me. Ronald.
:06:37
The frogs were big news
at my school...
:06:40
...and in Kenosha, where I live
and find my stories.
:06:43
Know Mike Royko?
He writes about Chicago.
:06:45
Fran Lebowitz writes about New York.
I write about Kenosha.
:06:52
Tell you what. Send me what
you write this year.
:06:55
We'll see what we can do.
I like your passion.
