because there's nothin' else to get.

Mrs. Boggs, this is Sabrina

Peterson with the Chicago Globe.

I'm sorry to call you so late,

but I was wondering if, by any chance...

you're related to the Ray Boggs

that works for Midrail.

- What's Midrail?

- The railroad.

Come on, Ray, you've gotta be

related to somebody in this town.

- Hello?

- Mr. Boggs, good evening, sir.

This is Sabrina Peterson

with the Chicago Globe.

- We already subscribe.

- Okay.

- Hello?

- Mrs. Boggs, this is Sabrina Peterson...

with the Chicago Globe.

- Yes?

- Mrs. Boggs, yes, I think we got out off.

How are you tonight?

What do you want?

I was wondering if you're

by any chance related

to the Ray Boggs that works for Midrail.

- I'm his mother.

- And, uh, yes, that's what I thought.

And I wanted to know, uh, if you knew

about the train crash tonight.

I saw it on the news.

I called Ray right away.

You did. And, uh,

why is that, Mrs. Boggs?

- Well, 'cause of his, um...

- 'Cause of his what, Mrs. Boggs?

And we're back on Good Day, Chicago,

joined today by Peter Brackett...

famous columnist for

the Chicago Chronicle.

Peter's written his very first novel.

it's called White Lies,

and he's here to talk about it.

- Peter, first of ell...

- Yes?

I want to tell you that I could not put

your book down last night.

I have to ask you,

are you Ned Grayson?

Who's Ned Grayson?

- The main character, the detective!

- The detective, Ned Grayson.

Well, I would like to be Ned,

but I tell you...

Thank you.

Nice interview.

Bye-bye.

- ...how did you find time to write a novel?

- Well, uh...

- Globe, please.

- I'll take a Globe.

A Globe.

- I'll take a Globe.

- Could I have a Globe?

- A Globe, please.

- You got any Globes left?

Hey, Cindy.

Jeannie?

No one's gonna get anything else

because there's nothin' else to get.

Guess what? Now I know why

I made you a columnist.

She's an overzealous cub reporter,

second day on the job.

You and I both know I could

scoop her any day of the week.

Yeah? So do it. Tomorrow.

Evans, dig up everything you can

on this Boggs character.

See if he has any friends,

enemies, ex-wives, ex-lovers.

See if he's ever been fired, sued, done time,

owes money, goes to church, pays his bills.

Jeannie, get your head

out of that thing.

Give me the chief of police,

the head of Midrail and the D.A. Sully!

Go down to the train station, nose

around. See if anything smells fishy.

Save me eight inches above the fold.

This will not happen again.

What do you mean

it happened again?

Damn!

- Mr. Brackett? Uh, Mr. Brackett?

- Huh?

- These just came for you.

- Oh, thank you.

I'll tell you we found the coupling
