Deadline Page #5

Get off it, Bullock.

When's the last time a reporter

was on a high-Speed chase?

Hey, it could happen.

I think you're forgetting

who's in charge here, boy.

I'm kind of sorry

I've got to take you with me.

Hey, this is my story.

You think I'm happy about

working with you

And your racist

caveman attitude?

Huh!

Ow.

Now you listen to me

very carefully, you little punk.

My job is to learn things

people don't know about

And put it in the paper.

It's called news.

And I don't worry about

if it's for rich people,

Poor people, black,

white, men or women,

Or people you can't

tell the difference.

I know what you think of me,

and most of the time,

I couldn't care less, but

let me tell you something, boy.

I am not a racist.

Fine, you're not a racist.

All right.

You're just a sexist.

Thank you.

- Let's make a list.

- All right.

Well, we need to see

where it happened,

Check the police records.

We need to interview

Wallace Sampson's girlfriend.

She was the last one to see him

before he got killed.

Okay, write that down.

I've got a pen and pad

in the glove box.

Uh...

.22 Magnum.

That'll stop a bad guy.

That thing could have gone off.

Nah. The hammer block is in.

Put that away for me, will you?

So, it's true,

you do carry a gun.

On this trip, three.

The 22 Magnum.

I got a270 in the trunk.

And when all else fails,

I've got a little Henry...

a double-Shot Derringer.

Nice, huh?

I can't believe you

brought all those weapons.

This is Alabama, boy.

Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms

ain't a government agency,

It's a dang shopping list.

Oh, boy, here we go.

Oh, boy. We got a cop

with a big hat.

Officer.

License and registration.

Uh huh.

Officer Peringer, hey.

Matt Harper

from The Nashville Times.

We met the other day.

Sorry about your dad.

You were speeding,

We were doing 55.

Well, it drops to 35

at the town limit.

I didn't see a sign.

I'll handle this.

Officer, how much is the fine?

$100. Or we can

go see the judge.

Just pay him. Actually,

you know what? Pay him $200.

The next time

we come through here,

We'll be going

the exact same speed.

I've heard enough from you.

Hand me the registration.

Officer, I can explain

the pistol in the glove box.

Freeze, you keep your hands up

where I can see 'em.

Up, both of you.

I've also got a270

in the trunk.

Move.

Come on, this way.

I'm gonna have to

call you back.

You too, buddy.

What you got, Olen?

Speeding and carrying

concealed weapons.

And one of them threw up

in the patrol car.

Ma'am, we didn't mean to

speed, and we're not dangerous.

We're reporters.

Which one of you is sick?

Take off the handcuffs, Olen.

Go get the judge.
