Shattered Glass Page #5

- Of course.

We have a problem

with the "Spring Breakdown" piece.

Just got a letter from David Keene.

He ran the CPAC Conference.

- He's made...

- Are you mad at me?

He's made some pretty serious

charges. We need to answer them.

Okay.

My notes are at home.

I can be back in minutes.

Is that too long?

Do your notes have anything

about the minibars? That would help.

I think so.

No, I'm sure. Why?

He claims the Omni Shoreham

doesn't even have minibars.

- He mentioned it specifically.

- No, I saw them.

There were little bottles

of booze all over the room.

Okay. I'll get Aaron

and Rob into it,

and start

the fact-check again.

I'll get my notes.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry, we're gonna

have to finish this later.

No, no. I understand.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Just tell me.

Keene was right,

Michael.

I messed up.

I made a huge error.

I don't know what to say.

If you want me to resign, I will.

I want you to tell me

what happened.

They don't have minibars

at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.

I guess I just saw all those little

bottles and I made an assumption,

which I know we're

never supposed to do.

I'm really sorry.

Those guys were drinking

out of a rented refrigerator.

A mini-fridge.

- That's it?

- Yeah.

- The rest of the piece is solid?

- Well, yeah, of course.

Go home, Steve.

Your resignation will not be required.

- Really? You're not mad?

- Of course not.

Do you want my notes?

Have a good night.

Thanks, Michael.

Thanks for backing me.

It's what editors do.

Good night.

Hi, front desk, please?
