I doubt you followed me all this way
just to shoot this sh*t.
I didn't follow you.
I was just-
It doesn't matter.
You're here now, what do you want?
Well, okay...
I guess I was hoping
that you could give me the
inside view of "Inside View".
than the paper's star reporter?
Maybe you could share
your philosophy with me.
My "philosophy"?
Your secret, for staying on top so long.
I'd love to hear it.
That is, if you have one.
Uh...
Okay.
Here it is, you better take notes...
Never believe what you publish...
and never publish what you believe.
What's the matter, I talk too fast?
I guess I was just expecting
something more.
from someone who thinks of himself as a-
As a what?
Well...
A real reporter.
Ha!
Ha-ha!
Let me ask you a question.
What the f*** do you think you know
about being a real reporter?
Goddamnit!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
Why don't we start over?
Why? I already know your story, honey,
You come from Lockport or Rockport,
or Bridgeport, or Eugene, Oregon,
or some goddamn place.
You tried to get into Columbia or Yale,
But you ended up at Illinois State, didn't you?
Then you interned for
"The Examiner" or "The Patriot".
Help me here, please.
"The Herald"
Exactly, that's right, you covered everything
from cake sales, to dog shows, to class reunions.
but that got a little mundane for you, didn't it?
So you came to us for just
a little more spice.
Of course the money,
stop me if I'm wrong here.
What are you getting at, Mr. Dees?
You've been here before, Jimmy,
and you'll be here again.
end is always the same.
You won't last.
Maybe I'll surprise you.
Maybe you will.
Maybe you'll stick around for a while...
end up just like Dottie.
What are you talking about?
You want my inside view of "Inside View"?
Alright, I'll give it to ya.
And it ain't about no f***ing
philosophy, honey, believe me.
"Inside View" is an illustration of the insane.
It's a diary of the deranged
and dangerously sick...
I'm talking about kindergarten teachers
setting fire to their students
because they think these 5-year-olds
are plotting their executions.
Satanic biker cults slaughtering hitchhikers,
but, here's the fun part...
after talking to these crazy people
sometimes their stories can get to you.
Creeping like some kind of a f***ing cancer
and pretty soon all the sh*t
starts making sense.
That's what happened to Dottie Walsh.
Real go-getter, just like you.
She started to believe in the unbelievable.
Not more than a year after Dottie was hired...
she was dead.
Went home one night and took a bath
