:23:12
(door squeaking open
and closed)
:23:20
Are these cables so the house
won't blow away?
:23:23
So far so good.
:23:25
They say it
:23:26
rocked in storms like
a big rocking chair.
:23:28
Made the women sick,
so they lashed it down.
:23:30
QUOYLE:
They're moaning.
:23:33
The house is sad.
:23:36
What?
:23:40
You should let it loose.
:23:42
(laughs)
:24:03
QUOYLE:
I'm here to apply for a job.
:24:05
Come on in.
:24:06
Listen here...
listen here, my son.
:24:09
I'm going to need
clarification on this.
:24:12
I got Doris Koontz
down as runner-up
in "Cakes and Muffins"
:24:15
but her entry is listed
:24:17
as "Strawberry
Rhubarb Cobbler"
:24:18
which I believe ought
to be under "Pies."
:24:20
Name's Tert Card--
:24:22
managing editor, rewrite man,
and snow shoveller.
:24:25
You'll have to do
without the boss.
:24:27
Himself, Jack Buggit, has
called in sick, as per usual.
:24:29
Which is why I am occupying
his office, Billy Pretty
:24:32
and no bones about it.
:24:34
Come in.
:24:37
Name?
:24:38
Uh, Quoyle.
:24:40
I just got here yesterday
from New York...
:24:41
Ah, you're a Quoyle, are you?
:24:43
Well, I should've
seen that right off.
:24:46
Sit down.
:24:49
Prior experience
as a journalist?
:24:51
Washington Post?
:24:53
London Times?
:24:53
Oh, oh, no,
I'm not a journalist.
:24:55
I'm an ink setter.
:24:57
(phone rings)
I had that
position...
:24:59
Gammy Bird.
