: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.
:23:08
Stoli. Straight up.
:23:11
- Champagne.
- Thank you.
:23:15
Hello, Peterson.
:23:18
Hello, Brackett.
:23:19
Giving the front page
the night off?
:23:22
Oh, I put my story to bed
hours ago. How about you?
:23:24
The press is rolling
as we speak.
:23:27
- I look forward to reading it.
- You read the Chronicle?
:23:30
Well, I thought someone
in town still should.
:23:37
You know, I've been
reading you, too, Peterson.
:23:41
"Zoo Transfers Feisty Gorilla"
by Sabrina J. Peterson.
:23:46
You were using
your middle initial back then.
:23:48
I take it as a compliment that
a man of your stature takes time
to research my early work.
:23:52
Well, your early work
is very entertaining.
:23:55
I mean, I especially like
the story you did...
:23:57
blowing the lid off
the Pillsbury Bake-off contest.
:23:59
You know, entering under a fake name
and baking a pie without
using one Pillsbury product?
