:27:01
He promises me an exclusive,
I got a deadline, now I've got nothin'?
:27:05
I got 15 local papers, and God knows
how many nationals Im competing with.
:27:09
And he doesn't even call?
Nothing, like I don't exist?
:27:13
- Its not right!
- Im sorry.
:27:15
- Maybe I can get you Mantle.
- Not him. He's not the story anymore.
:27:18
- Where's Roger? Where the hell is he?
- I swear if I knew, I'd tell you.
:27:22
Im sorry.
He's been under a lot of pressure lately.
:27:24
You know what, Bob? Spare me that!
Everybody's under a lot of pressure.
:27:28
What's my editor gonna say to me
when I show up there empty-handed?
:27:33
There isn't a man in America
who wouldn't give it all up...
:27:36
...to be playin' right field for the Yankees.
:27:38
Not a man. And he doesn't understand
that. So don't give me any sob story...
:27:42
...about a guy bein' paid $38,000
just to play baseball.
:27:46
He's been curt, rude, sullen, moody
and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
:27:50
But, I've had it, Bob,
'cause now he's making me look bad.
