JACK:
Are you in my office, Tert?
:25:02
No, no, no, Jack.
:25:03
I'm just conducting
a job interview here
at my desk.
:25:07
Job interview?
:25:08
Yeah, there's a Mr. Quoyle here.
:25:09
Says he's
an ink setter.
:25:11
The fella's a Quoyle, you say?
:25:13
And no mistake.
:25:15
Hmm.
:25:16
Have him
meet me at the dock in, uh
:25:17
one hour.
:25:19
That bronchitis of yours
cleared up already?
:25:21
Much better.
:25:23
Thanks for your concern.
:25:24
Okay, Jack.
:25:29
Quoyle!
Over here.
:25:31
Step lively.
:25:38
Uh... hello there, Mr. Buggit.
The man at the...
:25:40
The name's Jack.
:25:41
Come on, get in.
:25:54
I'm not a water person.
:25:56
All Quoyles
is water people.
:25:58
Boats is in your blood.
:25:59
That's why
I'm hiring you.
:26:01
I need somebody to cover
the shipping news.
:26:04
You'll get a list
from the harbormaster--
:26:07
what ships go in
to Killick-Claw...
:26:09
But, Mr. Buggit,
I-I-I'm an ink setter.
:26:11
Pay attention, me old son.
:26:13
I don't need no ink setter,
I need a reporter.
:26:16
And you'll do
local car wrecks.
:26:17
Take the picture,
write the story.
:26:21
We run a front-page photo
of a car wreck every week
:26:24
whether or not
we actually have a car wreck.
:26:27
Now, there's a knack
for taking photos
:26:29
that make you
feel something.
:26:31
If there's a dark
patch on the ground
:26:33
it reads blood whether it's
motor oil or Diet Coke.
:26:37
And you want
something human, uh
:26:40
a child's mitten, a purse
:26:41
a baseball cap
lying in the road.
:26:43
See, that's what makes it human.
:26:45
That's what makes
the reader feel.
:26:47
Jack, I'm, I'm no reporter.
:26:48
Jesus Sweet Christ.
:26:50
You think any of them tomcods
knew how to write
:26:53
when I hired them?
:26:54
I get a feeling
about people
:26:57
that's all.
