"I have enclosed a list of gross factual
misrepresentations in your article.
:12:06
There are fifteen."
:12:11
[Ike]
Funny. I like her.
:12:13
She's got spunk.
:12:16
Ike, look. She sent us this list.
Our lawyers say it's actionable.
:12:21
[Sighs]
:12:23
I left you four messages.
You don't return my calls.
:12:26
I never returned your calls.
Even when we were married I didn't--
:12:30
-What's Fisher doing here?
-Ellie asked me to offer moral support.
:12:36
Since when does Ellie
need moral support?
:12:39
It's for you, Ike.
:12:45
What? What?
:12:48
Journalism lesson number one:
:12:50
If you fabricate your facts,
you get fired.
:12:54
Lesson number two:
Never work for your former spouse.
:12:58
That has nothing to do with it. You
cooked this story up, and you know it!
:13:04
I did not cook anything up.
I had a source.
:13:06
Someone reliable?
Some boozehound in a bar?
:13:09
In vino veritas.
:13:11
Hey, hey, hey. Don't knock drunk guys
in bars. It means they're not driving.
:13:16
Besides, lam a columnist.
:13:19
This is what columnists
are supposed to do.
:13:22
It's what you like. We push,
we stretch, we go out on a limb.
:13:27
That's what makes me good!
:13:29
No, that's what
makes you unemployed.
:13:36
All right. Let's consider
that my wrist has been slapped.
:13:40
There. Slap it.
Go ahead, just--
:13:44
Slap my wrist.
That's done.
:13:47
Just give me a call when you feel
that I've served my time, and move on.
:13:57
This is permanent, Ike.
