The public demands to see

what they're reading.

I'm not gonna serve

a dead newspaperman.

That's your job.

Say, I put up with about enough.

You've been fired

from every job you ever had.

No sheet'll have you

because of your drunkenness.

Lay off.

You're getting your money's worth.

Get a picture of that fireman...

...or there'll be a new man

in your chair tomorrow.

Oh, excuse me.

Mr. McLean.

- You still here?

- Yeah.

- Let me get the picture of that fireman.

- He's got a gun.

What's a gun? That's why I get the edge

on all these guys here.

I'm playing with guns all my life.

Only, keep it under your hat.

Hold up. Wait here.

- Which one of you guys is Stacy?

- I am, why?

I'm a new man. McLean sent me up here

to get that picture.

Boy, you got some tough job.

This fireman's gone clean off his nut.

None of us have been near him.

- He's ready to commit murder.

- Yeah, I know, that's why they sent me.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Don't start anything.

This guy's from another sheet.

- You got a job to do.

- All right.

I'll see you later, mush mouth.

Your national anthem.

Drive around the corner, up the alley.

Turn around, keep your motor running.

You hear a shot, don't wait.

- Graphic News will pay you off.

- Okay.

Hello, mister.

Hello, mister.

Trying to persecute me, eh?

- Breaking in my house like this. I'll fix you.

- What's wrong?

I'm the insurance man.

National Insurance Company.

What are the losses here?

- Oh, you're the insurance man.

- Yeah, the claim adjuster.

Glad they put me on this job.

It's a fireman's house.

A fireman saved my mother and father.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, sure. I'm gonna give you a break.

You guys saved us a lot of money.

Gonna treat you the same way.

- Uh, how about that chair?

- Oh, how do I know?

She bought it. My wife.

- Now she's dead and I...

- Call it $ 10.

- How much for the bed?

- I don't want nothing for that.

- Don't be a sap. You'll take something.

- I told you, I don't want nothing for it.

Oh.

Well, the total is $2775.

Go outside, sit down. You look tired. I'll

look. See if I can make it three grand.

I'll go in the other room

and watch those reporters.

They're not gonna spread our picture

on the front page for people to laugh at.

- I'll kill them, that's what I'll do.

- Yeah.

- I'll kill them.

- A pleasure.

- I'll see you on the way out.

- Yeah.

All set. An even three grand.

Yeah, well, if you're finished,

leave me alone.

Sure sorry to bother you at a time

like this, but it's for your own good.

Yeah, a lot of good

money'll do me now.

I'm even afraid to go back

to the firehouse.

I was always bragging to the boys

what a wonderful little wife I had.
