BURNS:
What?
DUFFY:
And that means Earl Williams dies
tomorrow morning and makes a sucker
out of us!
BURNS:
You're crazy. Where's Mac?
DUFFY:
He's on my phone. He just called me.
BURNS:
They can't do that to me!
He grabs the phone on his desk:
BURNS:
Give me that call on Duffy's wire!
Hello -- Mac? Burns. Where's the
Governor? -- What do you mean, you
can't locate him?
(apparently pleading
to the one man in
the world who can
help him)
Mac, you know what this means. We're
the only paper in town defending
Earl Williams and if he hangs tomorrow
we're washed up! Find the Governor
and when you find him tell him we
want that reprieve!... Tell him I
elected him and I can have him
impeached! Sure, you can do it, Mac --
I know you can. I always said you
were the greatest reporter in the
country and now you can prove it.
Get going! Attaboy!
He hangs up.
BURNS:
(to Duffy,
sarcastically)
The greatest reporter in the country!
First I gotta tell him what news to
get! Gotta tell him how to get it --
afterward! Now if you were a decent
City Editor --
with Louie and Hildy in the b.g.
DUFFY:
Don't blame me. I'm City Editor in
name only. You do all the hiring
around here.
