Transcript
00:00To be continued...
00:30You're the best newspaper man in the world.
00:33It's your whole life. I don't want to change that.
00:35I've got a right to a life, too, and you can't give it to me.
00:40Can he? Can you be the same way with him you were with me?
00:44Is it that easy?
00:54Yes, this is the story of a hard-hitting editor
00:56who refused to let his newspaper be killed,
00:59who came out fighting with a cold steel of facts
01:01to turn the spotlight of a free press on the truth.
01:05This paper will fight for progress and reform.
01:08We'll never be satisfied merely with printing the news.
01:11We'll never be afraid to attack wrong,
01:14whether by predatory wealth or predatory poverty.
01:17You're not selling the day. You're killing it.
01:19This is highly irregular procedure.
01:22So is the order of a newspaper.
01:24Never beat up a reporter, they say.
01:26It's like killing a cop on duty, they say.
01:28Never drop girls in the river clothed or unclothed, they say.
01:31Very funny.
01:32Tomorrow's newspaper will be even funnier.
01:37That's the Rianzi I like to see.
01:39This way you start shooting.
01:41You wouldn't have had a wife of that newspaper.
01:43It had beautiful legs.
01:45I guess they made them different than you a day.
01:47Yeah.
01:48The girls nowadays have the stuff, but they're brittle.
01:52Break more easily.
01:54Don't roll with the punches.
01:58Did I have a pleasant time last night?
02:00Yes, dear.
02:01I did.
02:02Well, what do you know?
02:04Wait a minute, don't hang up.
02:06Here's some advice for your friend.
02:08Don't print that story.
02:10What's that supposed to be?
02:11An order?
02:12If not tonight, then tomorrow.
02:14Maybe next week, maybe next year.
02:17But sooner or later you'll catch it.
02:19Print that story or a dead man.
02:21You're a dead man.
