:57:01
I'm not pushing you around.
I'm asking you questions.
:57:07
I'm just a commodity
to you, aren't l?
:57:09
I could be anything, right? Anything
worth putting on between commercials.
:57:13
To a network, probably,
we're all commodities.
:57:15
To me, you're not a commodity.
What you are is important.
:57:19
You go public, and 30 million people
hear what you gotta say,
:57:23
nothing-- I mean nothing--
will ever be the same again.
:57:26
- You believe that?
- No.
:57:28
You should. Because when
you're done the judgement...
:57:31
is gonna go down in the court
of public opinion, my friend.
:57:35
And that's...
the power you have.
:57:37
- You believe that?
- I believe that?
:57:41
- Yes, I believe that.
- You believe that...
:57:42
- because you get information out
to people, something happens?
- Yes.
:57:45
Maybe that's just what you've been
telling yourself all these years...
:57:48
to justify having a good job.
:57:50
Having status.
:57:52
Maybe for the audience
it's just voyeurism, something
to do on a Sunday night.
:57:55
Maybe it won't
change a fuckin' thing,
:57:57
and people like myself
and my family...
:57:59
are left hung out to dry,
used up, broke, alone.
:58:03
Are you talking to me, or did somebody
else just walk in here? I never--
:58:06
[ Both Talking At Once ]
:58:08
Don't evade a choice you gotta make
by questioning my reputation...
:58:12
or 60 Minutes
with this cheap skepticism.
:58:14
I have to put my family's welfare
on the line here, my friend.
:58:17
- What are you putting up?
You're putting up words.
- "Words."
:58:20
While you've been dicking around some
fucking company golf tournaments,
:58:23
I've been out in the world
givin' my word...
:58:26
and backing it up
with action.
:58:32
Now, are you gonna go
and do this thing or not?
:58:37
I said I'd call the kids
before they went to bed.
:58:39

[Bergman]
Stringer was supposed to be shooting
B-roll on street cops in New Orleans.
:58:56
- What's with all the horses?
-[Man]Camera guy's got
a thing about mounted police.
:58:59
Don't any of these guys
ride in cars? Walk?
