:43:12
Can you meet me at my office around
9:00? It's safe there. It's safe there.
:43:16
It's safe there.
It's safe there.
:43:22
- You find anything?
- Not a thing. You?
:43:26
Nothing.
:43:29
Listen, um...
:43:32
I know I shouldn't be
telling you this, but, uh...
:43:36
I think I'm just gonna
bail out of this story.
:43:38
Really?
That doesn't sound like you.
:43:42
Well, neither does leaping off elevators
and dodging bullets.
:43:47
Oh.
:43:50
Look, I, I love my work, and this
is definitely a very sexy story, but...
:43:55
I guess I'm just not cut out for
this lethal weapon stuff, you know?
:44:00
Thanks.
:44:04
I love out-scooping you,
I have to admit, but...
:44:08
I've got my whole life
in front of me, and...
:44:11
to tell you the truth,
this whole thing just got too much.
:44:14
It's too dangerous.
I'm, I'm scared.
:44:20
You know, Peterson, I'm supposed
to be on my book tour right now.
:44:22
Getting my head blown off wasn't
exactly on my agenda, either.
:44:29
I'll make ya a deal.
:44:31
If you quit this story,
so will I.
:44:35
You don't have to say that
just to make me feel better.
:44:37
I'm not sayin' it to make you
feel better. I'm sayin' it
to make me feel better.
:44:41
I mean, you were really puttin'
the pressure on, you know?
:44:43
Your face on trucks
all over the city.
:44:46
That wild-goose chase.
:44:48
- I'm sorry about that.
- No, it was very inventive.
:44:51
I fell for it.
I deserved it.
:44:54
Yeah, that was a good one.
:44:57
I gotta thank you,
Peterson.
:44:58
Because of you, I remembered
how much I love newspapering.
