Here.
:04:08
Watch me run a 50-yard dash
with my legs cut off.

:04:11
Hey, Joe. It's Sidney.
:04:13
How do you like this?
I'm running outta alibis.

:04:16
Oh, no. I asked JJ to withhold the item
until he'd give you a fat paragraph.

:04:20
- You're a liar, Sidney.
- What do mean, "a liar"?

:04:22
Oh, it's a publicity man's nature to be
a liar. I wouldn't hire you if you wasn't.

:04:27
I pay you a C and a half,
where you plant big lies

:04:30
about me and the club all over the map.
:04:32
- If that's the way you mean it...
- Yeah, I do.

:04:34
But also in the sense
that you are a personal liar too,

:04:38
because you don't do the work
I pay you for.

:04:41
When I spoke to JJ last night...
:04:43

:05:02
I wish I could help in some way, Sidney.
:05:04
You could help
with two minutes of silence.

:05:08
I hate to see you like this.
If you feel nervous...

:05:11
So what'll you do if I feel nervous?
Open your meaty, sympathetic arms?

:05:15
Oh, Sidney, you got me so...
I don't know what.

:05:30
Sally, you oughta know me by now.
:05:33
- I know ya.
- No, you don't.

:05:38
You think I'm a hero.
:05:40
Well, I'm no hero. I'm nice to people
where it pays me to be nice.

:05:44
I do it enough on the outside,
so don't expect me to do it in my office.

:05:47
I'm in a bind right now with Hunsecker.
:05:50
Maybe I'm dumb, but...
:05:52
why does Mr Hunsecker wanna
squeeze your livelihood away?

:05:57
Why do you stand for
that kind of treatment?

:05:59
He's punishing me. His sister's
having a romance with a guitar player.
