:34:01
Don't hate me, okay?
:34:03
Stephen, you shredded it.
:34:07
l'm trying to spare you
a spanking, David.
:34:09
You've got blind quotes
all over the place.
:34:12
Your facts are shaky.
l mean--
:34:14
The line about the turnover
at DOT
:34:17
was low by 4 1/2%,
l checked.
:34:19
Of course you did.
:34:21
Rob and Aaron would kill you
over that kind of stuff.
:34:23
This is The New Republic,
remember?
:34:26
Nothing slides here. lf you don't have
it cold, you don't turn it in, ever.
:34:29
Okay.
:34:31
Look, bring me your notes later,
and we'll go through it together.
:34:34
There's a lot about it
that l liked.
:34:36
- Really?
- Really.
:34:39
And get back to work, okay?
The mailroom floor needs scrubbing.
:34:42
Okay.
Thanks, Stephen.
:34:54
''You have one
unheard message. First message. ''

Hi, Stephen, this is Adam Penenberg,
from Forbes Digital Tool.
:35:00
l just got done reading
your hacker article.
:35:03
First of all,
congratulations.
:35:05
l mean, everybody here
just loved it.
:35:07
But we wanted to do
a companion piece to it,
:35:10
sort of a ''Day Two'' story--
:35:13
and l'm having some trouble
tracking down lan Restil.
:35:15
Do you think l could get
a phone number on him from you?
:35:20
Look, l think it's good
that you tried this.
:35:23
lt's good to stretch.
l just--
:35:25
l don't think you're writing
to your strengths here.
:35:29
- l mean--
- Can l?
:35:37
l'm wondering why you'd want to stray
from the things you do so well?
:35:46
Have you noticed the way
:35:48
Steve's phone
has been ringing lately?
:35:50
Did you see all those editors
at the Correspondents' Dinner?
:35:53
- The way they were circling him?
- ls that what you want, Amy?
:35:57
To get a bunch of smoke blown
up your ass by a pack of editors?
