The Paper Page #6

- That's not funny.

Hello, my name is George Russell.

I'm a reporter at The New York Sentinel.

Hi, I'm supposed to meet Paul Bladden

right about now.

Map.

I've been reading the Sun

these past few weeks.

I find it exciting.

We're thinking of letting our hair down

a little bit around here.

Squeeze in some coverage

of the outer boroughs.

Nothing new for you, of course,

but for us, well, we're The Sentinel.

We cover the world.

Right. So I've heard.

I won't dick around with you.

I talked with Vince last night.

He'll go with my recommendation.

So congratulations.

The job is yours if you want it.

Thank y...

You don't look all that pleased.

No... You know, I'm gonna

have to think about that.

I have to talk to my wife.

You understand.

Yes, of course. But I would like

a decision first thing in the morning.

And don't disappoint me.

I think you're

a serious newspaperman, Henry.

- Thank you.

- No, I mean it.

You guys have got a cute little paper.

Sometimes you really pull one out.

Thanks. It is a cute paper.

You kind of missed the boat on that one

last night, though.

Yeah.

I want to tell you,

before I came over to this job...

I hardly had any

administrative experience at all.

I had very minimal

executive skills.

Excuse me. I'm curious.

For instance...

what would our...

your Metro lead be tomorrow?

- Henry, you don't work here yet.

- You're right.

You're right. Sorry.

As I was saying about this book,

I think it's something that you...

You know what I'd go with?

Subway. Don't you think?

- Would find enjoyable.

- You know, though...

that Williamsburg thing

is pretty interesting.

You guys got anything on that?

You do, don't you?

It's funny.

You can always tell,

one newspaperman to another...

You can just tell there's something.

What have you got?

What do you guys have on that?

Come on.

They make a bust? No,

I'd know if they made a bust.

What are you guys sitting on?

Let's just say that our coverage

will be comprehensive.

Got you. Comprehensive.

I understand.

Anyway, I'd love to borrow it.

- What?

- The book.

Ah! The book.

I've got it right here.

- Nice. Nice, nice.

- Yes, enjoy.

I will.

And hey, thanks, you've...

You've been a big help.

Now, don't overreact.

If we go after it early,

before it metastasizes to a bone...

the majority of these prostate

cancer cases are beatable.

Go after it how?

Irradiation therapy.

That's fantastic.

That's wonderful, because...

as it turns out, that's exactly

the portion of my anatomy...

I'd like to see

exposed to radiation.

You'll have to take an hour or two

off work for each treatment.

We should start right away.

How's next Monday?
