:56:03
...into a fight-for-justice story...
:56:06
...and give me an excuse
to stand up for you...
:56:08
...when Bob asks me
to transfer you to the toilet.
:56:12
Alan, I need this.
:56:15
You won't get your wife and kid back.
She'll find out.
:56:19
I'll fix that.
:56:20
I can't tell you what will happen
if this is another Vargas piece.
:56:24
So you come up with something, fine.
I'll run it. But it better be good.
:56:29
The Vargas thing, I was drinking.
You lose your nose. My nose is back.
:56:33
Well, we'll both find out, won't we?
:56:36
Just one thing.
:56:38
If I come up with something,
we can't wait till tomorrow to run it.
:56:43
My God! I know what you're thinking.
:56:45
It's like dogs that hear
a sound that humans can't.
:56:48
I can actually hear your little brain
ticking away. I really can.
:56:52
If you go to Lowenstein
thinking he'll call the governor...
:56:56
The governor will listen to him.
:56:58
It better be good. Or he not only
won't call the governor...
:57:01
...he'll eat your heart
and throw you to the dogs.
:57:04
You won't have to bone his wife, pal.
He'll fire you for free.
:57:09
Thanks.
:57:13
You don't have to thank me.
:57:15
I don't know whose ass you're trying
to save, Beechum's or yours.
:57:19
But if your nose for a story is gone,
my friend, you are gone too.
:57:23
Because I won't run this paper...
:57:25
...to salvage what's left
of your smarmy existence.
:57:28
So you stand there and you look me in
the eye and you tell me, man-to-man:
:57:34
Was she pretty good?
:57:36
- Seriously.
- Fuck you.
:57:39
Lucky bastard!
:57:41
Go get them, tiger.
