1:08:01
...or that wonderful books
have already been written.
1:08:03
Those books tell you how and why.
1:08:09
I'd rather find that out myself
at a typewriter.
1:08:13
I need someplace to get me going.
Someplace to start.
1:08:19
All right...
1:08:21
...if that's how you feel about it,
then let's do it.
1:08:26
Let's start at the Peyton Place Times.
1:08:29
Who said I was a cynical,
hard-hearted newspaperman?
1:08:32
Aren't all newspapermen?
1:08:34
That's a myth. We're the most
sentimental slobs in the world.
1:08:38
- The softest touches there are.
- Prove it.
1:08:42
All right.
1:08:44
When do I start? All I want is a chance
to show what I can do.
1:08:47
Write something up this week,
I'll run it Friday.
1:08:50
Thank you, Mr. Bushwell.
I'll start right away.
1:08:53
- I'll dig up a story you'll never forget.
- I don't doubt it.
1:08:57
Just remember, there's no such
thing as a cheap lawsuit.
1:09:00
Hold on. We haven't discussed pay.
1:09:03
You don't have to.
I'll do it for experience.
1:09:06
The first thing experience teaches us
is to get paid.
1:09:10
Five dollars a column to start.
More later.
1:09:14
That's more... .
1:09:17
I wouldn't want these stories
to fall into the wrong hands.
1:09:24
Thanks, Seth.
1:09:32
There's no question, the tests confirm
that you're pregnant, Selena.
1:09:36
I'd say about three months.
1:09:39
- Who's the father?
- I won't tell you.
1:09:42
Now, what kind of rot is that?
You're not the first girl in the world...
1:09:46
...who had to get married.
Or in this town, for that matter.
1:09:49
Who's the father? Ted Carter?
1:09:52
- No.
- Don't you lie to me, don't lie!
1:09:54
I'm not lying to you.
1:09:56
Doc, help me. I need your help.
