QUOYLE:
I'm here to apply for a job.
:24:05
Come on in.
:24:06
Listen here...
listen here, my son.
:24:09
I'm going to need
clarification on this.
:24:12
I got Doris Koontz
down as runner-up
in "Cakes and Muffins"
:24:15
but her entry is listed
:24:17
as "Strawberry
Rhubarb Cobbler"
:24:18
which I believe ought
to be under "Pies."
:24:20
Name's Tert Card--
:24:22
managing editor, rewrite man,
and snow shoveller.
:24:25
You'll have to do
without the boss.
:24:27
Himself, Jack Buggit, has
called in sick, as per usual.
:24:29
Which is why I am occupying
his office, Billy Pretty
:24:32
and no bones about it.
:24:34
Come in.
:24:37
Name?
:24:38
Uh, Quoyle.
:24:40
I just got here yesterday
from New York...
:24:41
Ah, you're a Quoyle, are you?
:24:43
Well, I should've
seen that right off.
:24:46
Sit down.
:24:49
Prior experience
as a journalist?
:24:51
Washington Post?
:24:53
London Times?
:24:53
Oh, oh, no,
I'm not a journalist.
:24:55
I'm an ink setter.
:24:57
(phone rings)
I had that
position...
:24:59
Gammy Bird.
:25:01
JACK:
Are you in my office, Tert?
:25:02
No, no, no, Jack.
:25:03
I'm just conducting
a job interview here
at my desk.
:25:07
Job interview?
:25:08
Yeah, there's a Mr. Quoyle here.
:25:09
Says he's
an ink setter.
:25:11
The fella's a Quoyle, you say?
:25:13
And no mistake.
:25:15
Hmm.
:25:16
Have him
meet me at the dock in, uh
:25:17
one hour.
:25:19
That bronchitis of yours
cleared up already?
:25:21
Much better.
:25:23
Thanks for your concern.
:25:24
Okay, Jack.
:25:29
Quoyle!
Over here.
:25:31
Step lively.
:25:38
Uh... hello there, Mr. Buggit.
The man at the...
:25:40
The name's Jack.
:25:41
Come on, get in.
:25:54
I'm not a water person.
:25:56
All Quoyles
is water people.
:25:58
Boats is in your blood.
:25:59
That's why
I'm hiring you.
