: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?
:24:04
- And winning. Let's not forget that.
- Yeah, it's very impressive.
:24:08
But my favourite is when
you went undercover as a hooker.
Now, I'd have paid to see that one.
:24:12
I bet you would have.
Oh, by the way...
:24:15
I never did thank you for the mutt.
He's been quite an addition to my life.
:24:18
Oh, you're very welcome.
I hope you named him after me.
:24:21
I certainly did. Yeah, I've grown
real attached to Little Dick.
:24:26
You know, there's something
about you, Peterson.
:24:28
- Irritating, aren't I?
- The truth is, you make me itch.
:24:32
Well, I suggest you get yourself
some calamine lotion...
:24:34
because I'm loving this town,
and I'm here to stay.
:24:37
- Stop the presses! I got a bulletin.
- What? The coppers are
actually offering news?
:24:41
Guess who just showed up at the station
with a duffel bag and a statement?
:24:44
- Ray Boggs.
- What'd he say?
- "I'm innocent."
:24:47
He said the liquor they found
in his locker was a plant.
:24:49
Insisted on a polygraph.
Passed with flyin' colours.
:24:54
Macy's meets Gimbel's.
Love this!
:24:56
Oh, sorry, kids. Just, uh, shake hands,
say "sex," I'm outta your hair.
