- Hi, Peter.
- I was coming back for more.
:21:27
- Oh, are you?
- Hi.
:21:29
- Back on the front page!
- Hi!
:21:36
Pete, it's good
to see you, buddy.
:21:38
I'm dyin' to read your book, man.
When's it comin' out on tape?
:21:41
- I gotta get a drink.
- Where'd you disappear to, Smotherman?
:21:43
I called your office a few months ago,
and they acted like you had the plague.
:21:46
Oh, I know. I'm persona non grata.
Didn't you hear, man?
I'm working for the enemy now.
:21:49
- Don't tell me a Democrat?
- A Democrat and a woman!
:21:53
- Gayle Robbins. Do you know her?
- Oh, I know the name.
:21:55
She's a state senator from Wisconsin.
Actually, she's a terrific lady.
:21:57
She's super bright. And you know me.
I go where duty calls.
Plus she doubled my salary.
:22:03
So, Pete, I'm in your book,
right? Come on.
:22:05
Handsome senator's aide who slips
reporter names of corrupt lobbyists?
:22:08
- I'm colourful. I'm bigger than life!
- No, Sam, somehow I left you out.
:22:11
But I'm seriously considering
you for the sequel.
:22:13
Sure you are. Oh, oh, what is
the story on this train wreck, Peter?
:22:16
What do you hear? I mean, Midrail
got their ass in a sling, or what?
:22:19
- Hey, what I hear, you read.
- Mm-hmm.
:22:22
Speaking of duty calling.
My beautiful date Nadia has returned.
:22:25
Nadia, old pal of mine,
Peter Brackett.
:22:29
Actually,
Nadia and I have met.
:22:31
- Once.
- Well, you won't meet again.
:22:34
Adiós, pal.
Keep in touch.
