- Who's trying to kill you now?
- Sandusky.
The parking guy?
Over a couple of lousy columns?
My columns aren't lousy.
Give it up, would you?
Get it out of your system.
So they towed your car
and scratched it a bit.
Six thousand dollars. Six thousand
dollars damage to a vintage automobile.
- You're ranting now, babe.
- I bust my ass...
to find something fresh, and when I
get it, I bang it like a cheap drum.
People love this sh*t.
You should read my mail.
Turn that scanner down, will you?
How the hell are you
supposed to sleep around here?
Jeez. What are these?
Subway wreck, West 4th Street this
morning. Did you find the one with the...
- Is that an arm?
- Yeah, you found it.
Don't put these on my desk
in the morning, okay?
- Not until I've had three cokes.
- Good morning.
Three Cokes, then a picture.
That's the rule. What?
You know what's going on in Fort Green?
Two dozen cops hassling anybody...
with a black face and a record
on this Williamsburg murder thing.
If there's gonna be a riot,
then we should have somebody there.
Unless you want to get stomped
two days in a row on the same story.
"Get stomped." That's funny. Doesn't
anybody say "good morning" any more?
- I don't think so.
- Williamsburg, huh?
That's Wilder's territory, isn't it?
Wilder? Oh, yeah, he really aced it
last night, huh?
Come on, Henry.
I know this neighbourhood. I go...
Forget the desk.
She can have the desk.
But give me the chair,
for Christ's sakes!
Phil, I was talking to somebody.
- I can hardly stand up straight.
- You know what?
Go do that.
That's a good idea.
I'll handle Wilder.
- What are you gonna do to Wilder?
- Nothing.
You don't know what it's like
to live in pain. It does things to you.
- It changes you.
- I'm sure it does.
I wanna talk to you
about those changes, okay?
Rub some... nothing.
Look, keep all the bullshit
away from me today...
because I've got a really big decision
I have to make...
and I just need some time
What, about the job at The Sentinel?
How do you know about
the job at The Sentinel?
Bernie told me.
Bernie knows? Oh, man!
It's a newsroom, Henry.
I know it's none of my business,
but...
do you really want
Is that you?
Sometimes you can just smell...
a horrendously shitty day
on the way, can't you?
Don't chop the sh*t out of it
like you did with the nun thing.
It's early.
Let me look at it.
This jerk on the phone wants
a correction on the quake story.
You have an early proof from yesterday?
I hate columnists!
Why do I have all these columnists?
