Yeah, well, it'll work out.

(banging)
:30:09
(staticky radio
transmission)

:30:17
Hello.
:30:18
You must be Quoyle.
:30:20
B. Beaufield Nutbeem.
:30:22
I head up the Foreign
News Department.

:30:25
Steals every story off
that goddamn shortwave.

:30:28
Which Tert takes the
liberty of rewriting

:30:30
in his own
mystical tongue.

:30:32
Only to save you from charges
of plagiarism, Nutbeem.

:30:35
NUTBEEM:
Ah, Mr. Billy Pretty

:30:37
an old fish dog
and local landmark.

:30:40
Edits the
Home News Page--

:30:41
poems, baby photos,
household tips.

:30:42
There's your desk, Quoyle.
:30:52
Is there, um, a computer?
:30:55
Well, do you see one?
:30:56
No, I just...
I see everyone else...

:31:01
Keen powers of observation.
:31:02
I can see why Jack snatched you
off the job market.

:31:05

TERT:
Gammy Bird.

:31:11
Uh-huh.
:31:12
Right on to it.
:31:15
Well, Quoyle, you
lead a charmed life.

:31:17
Two minutes on the job
:31:18
and you got
your first car wreck.

:31:22
FIREMAN:
As far as I can tell,
the site is really fresh

:31:26
about 10, 15 minutes,
uh, at the most.

:31:28
You got two victims--
one male, one female.

:31:30
Not one vital sign between them
:31:32
so we're gonna wait
till the police come now.

:31:34
Uh, the rate of speed
we estimate at 65

:31:37
so there's
nothing unlawful here.

:31:38
There's not a whole lot
you can do, right

:31:41
when a moose decides
to get in your way.

:31:42
BILLY:
That's for sure.

:31:43
Uh... the driver
:31:45
most likely
had his chest crushed

:31:46
before the car hit the water,
so at least that's a mercy.

:31:49
Yeah. Yeah.
:31:50
Yeah.
:31:51
Yeah. Well, there's that,
and the-- and the moose

:31:53
you know,
which is a gift really

:31:54
when you think about it--
out of season

:31:56
like that--
a moose that size.

:31:58
BILLY:
Oh, Lord, yes.

:31:59
Billy, I suppose
we could split it
