Good Night, and Good Luck. Page #3
The Air Force
hasn't gone on the record.
So you want to forego the standards
you've stuck to for 15 years...
...both sides, no commentary.
- We all editorialize. - I'm just
making sure we identify what...
We're giving them
the information up front...
...and we're asking them
to comment on it.
Frank, hold on.
I've searched my conscience.
I can't for the life of me
find any justification for this.
that there are, on every story...
...two equal and logical sides
to an argument.
- Call it editorializing, if you'd like.
- It is editorializing.
They'll have equal time
to defend themselves.
Do you understand the position
you're putting us in?
We are all in this together,
if the Senate wants to investigate...
Do me a favor...
...avoid any big speeches about how
we're all in a big boat together!
Please, don't insult me.
I have to go back to Mr. Paley
and Alcoa, who sponsors your show...
...and also have
some military contracts...
...and I have to tell them that
they're going to be in a tough bind...
...because of a beef you had
with Joe McCarthy.
- We're not going at McCarthy.
- You're starting the goddamn fire.
Excuse me. Mr. Friendly,
there's a Colonel Anderson to see you?
- Colonel? - He's in your office.
There are two of them.
Maybe they liked the transcript,
and want to compliment us on it.
Excuse me.
Go after Joe Kennedy.
We'll pay for it.
I've got a great story about Hoover.
You know how many shows
you're going to have to do...
...to make up for this? - And Judy
and her daughter Liza next week.
No, no.
You're interviewing Rin Tin Tin!
I'll talk to Mr. Paley.
Alcoa won't pay for the ads.
And we probably won't either.
But nobody'll stop you.
How much are the ads?
- 3,000.
- I'll split it with Fred.
He just won't have Christmas presents
for his kids this year.
- He's a Jew. - Don't tell him that,
he loves Christmas.
- To be clear, you did speak
with the lawyers? - Yes, we did.
And we read the transcript. We've not
been allowed to see the footage.
Mack is on a plane from Dexter
right now with the last interviews.
We'll be going
right down to the wire.
Your show airs tomorrow. How can we
possibly approve and check...
...your story in the limited amount
of time you have given us?
With all due respect, you have been
invited to participate in this piece...
...not to approve it.
We are going with the story
that says that the U.S. Air Force...
...tried Milo Radulovich
without any evidence...
...and found him guilty
...without his Constitutional rights...
- You have not seen the evidence...
...and are claiming
