What did Everett do?
:09:05
He didn't whine...
:09:06
...and he didn't back down.
:09:08
He just fucking walked.
:09:11
That's Steve Everett.
:09:13
- Fine.
- Good.
:09:15
- How's the quitting smoking?
- Great.
:09:16
When you send the flowers
to that dead girl...
:09:20
...Michelle's family...
:09:22
...would you include my name?
Thanks.
:09:25
- See you.
- All right.
:09:29
The mayor of New York City, Bob.
:09:32
The mayor, you gullible asshole.
:09:34
Yeah, I could have stayed
in New York forever.
:09:37
They were about to put me
in charge of an investigative team.
:09:40
That would have put me
on the Pulitzer track.
:09:43
I really liked it there.
Broadway shows, downtown jazz clubs...
:09:47
...dinners at Elaine's,
veal chops up the old wazoo.
:09:53
Not veal chops like that, though.
:09:55
Jaws!
:09:58
Now you have to kiss it
and make it better.
:10:03
So you were the king of New York.
:10:06
Why are you hacking out metro stories
at the Oakland Tribune?
:10:09
Well, that's a long story.
:10:11
I got caught in the supply room
with a very young lady.
:10:15
Turned out to be the owner's daughter.
:10:18
How the hell was I supposed to know
she was underage?
:10:21
She looked 18 to me.
:10:24
Anyway, I got blackballed
all over town.
:10:26
You bad man!
What did your wife say?
:10:32
We'd just had the kid,
so she took it kind of hard.
:10:37
But Alan offered us
this gig out here.
:10:39
Another town, another change.
:10:41
Bad man!
:10:43
First the owner's daughter,
now the editor's wife.
:10:49
Do I detect a little...
:10:51
...hostility towards authority figures?
:10:55
Only ones I work for.
:10:57
Is that what you'll say
in the next town with someone else?
