:03:01
- Yes. It was very well received.
- Not by me.
:03:03
I don't want any more economists, sages,
or oracles bombinating over our cable.
:03:07
I want a reporter.
:03:09
Someone who doesn't know the difference
between an ism and a kangaroo.
:03:12
A good, honest crime reporter.
That's what the Globe needs.
:03:15
That's what Europe needs.
:03:17
There's a crime hatching
on that bedeviled continent.
:03:20
Wait a minute.
:03:22
I've got something
that might pass for an idea.
:03:27
Who was that fellow that ran down
the payroll robbery last week?
:03:30
You mean Johnny Jones.
:03:31
He beat up a policeman, didn't he,
in the line of duty?
:03:34
Yes. There's some talk at the city desk
of firing him.
:03:38
Beat up a policeman?
:03:40
Sounds ideal for Europe.
:03:44
Send Mr. Jones up here right away.
:03:47
- Mr. Powers wants to see you, Mr. Jones.
- He does?
:03:50
- You should come to his office right away.
- What about?
:03:53
I ain't in his confidence.
:03:55
Tell him to save his breath.
Tell him I've resigned.
:03:58
- I'm supposed to bring you there.
- Okay. Wait till I open this.
:04:06
Where's Mr. Jones?
I told you to send him right up here!
:04:15
- Are you Mr. Jones?
- Yes.
:04:17
Sit down, please.
:04:20
- You mind a personal question?
- No.
:04:23
- Are you married?
- No luck.
:04:24
Single?
:04:27
- Ever been in Europe?
- No.
:04:30
What's your opinion
of the present European crisis, Mr. Jones?
:04:33
What crisis?
:04:37
I'm referring to
the impending war, Mr. Jones.
:04:39
That. To tell you the truth,
I haven't given it much thought.
:04:44
You don't keep up
with our foreign news, do you?
:04:46
If you're gonna fire me,
you can scrap the intelligence test.
:04:49
It's perfectly okay with me.
:04:51
I can get a job on any newspaper in town
within an hour. So long.
:04:54
Wait a minute. Nobody fired you.
:04:57
How would you like to cover
the biggest story in the world today?
