Well, Whitey Mehrholtz
over at the Times will.
:53:06
Dumping thousands of gallons of water
in the middle of a drought is news.
:53:13
Mr Gittes...
:53:15
We're not anxious for it to get around,
but we have been diverting water -
:53:21
- To irrigate orange groves
in the Northwest Valley.
:53:24
They have no legal right to our water,
but we've been trying to help them out.
:53:30
When you divert water,
there's a little run-off.
:53:34
Yeah, a little run-off...
Where did you say those groves were?
:53:39
- In the Northwest Valley.
- That's like saying they're in Arizona.
:53:43
My field men are out,
I can't give you the exact location.
:53:48
You're a married man, aren't you?
Hard working, wife, kids...?
:53:55
- Yes.
- I don't want to nail you.
:54:02
I want to find out who put you up to it.
I'll give you a few days to think on it.
:54:08
Call me, I can help. Who knows,
maybe we can put the whole thing off -
:54:13
- On a few big shots, and you can stay
head of the department for 20 years.
:54:58
- Drink?
- No, thank you.
