Suppose this old 'what's his
name' is alive and I prove it..
Where is your reader's
interest? Where is your story?
You don't suppose that I will be sending you all
the way to Africa, if there weren't any story?
For a whack at Tyce, you send me... you know it
- Oh, no, forget about Tyce, he is nothing to me.
- It's the story I am interested in.
- Well where is it?
How many people have ever
heard about Livingstone?
A great many more than you think.
Christians who believe in spreading
the Word of God, among the heathen.
Enemies of slavery, who know how a magnificent
fight he is making against the slave traders.
How many of those
people read The Herald?
In all the millions. The plain common
Everyday people, who derive excitement...
From reading the adventures of a heroic
figure in the dark places of the earth.
There is your reader interest, Mr. Stanley.
Dr. Livingstone is a great adventurer.
One of the greatest. Come
here. I will show you something.
The Dark Continent. Mystery,
heat, fever, cannibals
can loose half of America.
A land in which even the greatest
conquerors never dared to penetrate.
Alexander, Ceaser, The Pharos of Egypt.
None of them unchanged, untouched.
Since the dawn of history.
Somewhere, somewhere in there
a grand old man, a man of God
Who has given his life to
spreading his light in darkness.
There is your story! A real story.
But if you don't think so... Besides
it would be extremely dangerous.
So perhaps its just
Lets see. You said you wanted
to do a series on Boss Tweed...
Harper's Weekly has a young
Who has been doing some sensational cartoons
On the Tweed ring.. Better have a talk with him
Where was he heard of last?
- Who Tweed? - Livingstone.
Somewhere in Tanganyika district.
You will find Nast up at Harper's.
- How long will it take to get there and back?
-Harpers?
-Tanganyika!
- Maybe a year two or three
You think it will make a great
story? I mean finding Livingstone.
The greatest story in the history
of journalism. If you get it.
- I will go.
- The steamer sails from London on Saturday.
I have already reserved passage for you.
Draw 5000 dollars now and when it's gone
Draw another 5000, and when it's gone
draw another and another and another.
But find Livingstone.
- Suppose Tyce is right and Livingstone is dead?
Well then there is no story.
I will bring him back on alcohol
for new museum on 14th street.
Might call it green, might call it blue
but doggone you just can't call it red.
- Howdy!
- Beg your pardon?
I just said howdy.
- Oh! How do you do!
