The Note Page #2

and know it was the last time?

Sounds like a "heart healer"

column to me.

You know something,

we work on the same floor

for four years,

we finally go out

and have a real conversation

and you make fun of me.

Nice.

Who's making fun?

I'm just saying

there's likely to be

some serious mail

coming your way.

I hope not.

Ugh! I couldn't handle

that responsibility.

Which is why I probably

should never have asked

for this column

in the first place.

Does this have anything

to do with...

You having had

a bad day?

Nora is giving me

until Christmas

to improve my readership

or...

that's harsh.

Still...

Nothing like a plane crash

to lend a little perspective

to your problems.

Now, there's little or no hope

of finding any alive

of the 137 passengers

on-board the flight

which originated in New York.

Officials say

it could take up to weeks,

perhaps a month,

before any final list

or picture emerges

of what exactly happened

in the final moments

of flight 848.

Lord of the universe,

lord of the sea and sky,

send us your guidance and grace

in this moment of great loss.

Comfort our families

and friends

and strengthen our faith

in spite of our fears.

Comfort and support one another

with the assurance

that our loved ones

are, indeed, in peace with you

now that they know all of the

great secrets of the universe.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Get the ocean

in the background.

Keep me in the shot as I walk

down the hill, all right?

'Kay, I'm gonna go talk

to these people,

to see who's a family member.

Excuse me, sir, I was wondering

if you could talk to me about,

about what you're feeling...

I know this is a very,

very tough time for you.

I would just like you to give

our viewers a sense

of what it must be like...

I'm sorry.

I don't want

to intrude on you-

excuse me.

Are you a friend

or a family member?

No...

I'm a reporter.

I mean, I write a column

for the middleborough times-

yes, I'm sorry to interrupt.

Look, I can only imagine

how you must be feeling

right now

and I know the last thing

you need

is a reporter asking you

personal questions,

but I was wondering

if you could share...

Reverend, perhaps you'd care

to comment on...

How does he do it?

I mean,

how do these network guys

find the chutzpah to shove

a microphone in someone's face

and ask how it feels to...

Lose a child or a father?

How does a guy like

Truman Harris sleep at night?

Comfortably wrapped in the arms

of any woman he wants.

The dude is

a total awesome.

You're not helping.

Sorry.

Okay, let's review.

You've gotten letters

about the crash,

but you think it's too ghoulish

to interview the relatives.

Correct.
