Huh? 13 00:00:33,580 --> 00:00:34,580 Laid back important? 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Well, one of these days it'll all make sense, believe me. 15 00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,020 Okay, there you go, Mr. 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,140 Third Grade Assembly Honor Guard. 17 00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:51,380 Important, huh? 18 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,240 Very. 19 00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:01,470 Mrs. Duffing. I can't stay after school today. I have a very important meeting. 20 00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:04,550 Who says clothes don't make the man? 21 00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:37,590 Can I speak to you for a minute? 22 00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:39,249 Sure, sure. 23 00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:40,009 What's wrong? 24 00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:41,690 Could I talk to you about these? 25 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:46,270 Ah. Well, personally, I think the red silk with the Peter Pan collar will go 26 00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:47,410 better with your green sport coat. 27 00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:48,630 Very funny. 28 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:52,350 I'm sorry. It's just that the drawers were so crowded that I couldn't even get 29 00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:55,730 them open, so I figured that a little reorganizing was in order. Oh, yes. 30 00:02:56,090 --> 00:03:00,030 Where did you reorganize my shirts? Well, you're not going to believe this. 31 00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:02,290 They're with my stockings in the linen chest. 32 00:03:03,079 --> 00:03:07,000 behind the towels, on top of your sweaters. Great. You mean we have to 33 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000 dressing out in the hall? 34 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,940 Well, either that or in the attic. We just have too many things for too few 35 00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:15,780 spaces. See, it's just temporary until I can talk you into a new dresser. I'm 36 00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:19,280 talked into it. You've talked me into it. Go ahead and buy. And price, as long 37 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,820 as it's realistic. There's no object. 38 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,180 Maybe we could have 39 00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,180 a dresser built to order. 40 00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:31,840 When I said realistically priced, I meant... 41 00:03:32,779 --> 00:03:36,960 Well, maybe we could have your number one son build it for us. You know, for a 42 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,460 relative. He's not untalented. I don't know. Dressing in the halls while David 43 00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:43,520 is trying to find time doesn't sound like much fun to me. Oh, but that's just 44 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,860 it. Mary tells me that David is experiencing what the construction 45 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,640 calls a seasonal slowdown. He's laid off again? Yeah. 46 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,800 Boy, that's the third time this year. 47 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Maybe now is the time that he should get interested in one of those copy boy 48 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,340 jobs down at the newspaper. Tom, give it up. David likes what he's doing. 49 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,920 I know. You're right. I know you're right. It's just... Wishful thinking. 50 00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:07,280 All right, I guess we can find employment for David. I thank you. I 51 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,620 and your son thanks you. And I don't know, Tom, I still think the red silk 52 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:11,620 the Peter Pan collar. 53 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Morning, 54 00:04:18,339 --> 00:04:19,339 guys.

How can I get in on this action, 75 00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:19,430 huh? Why would you want to lose any more weight? 76 00:05:19,690 --> 00:05:21,870 If you do, you will dissolve into nothingness. 77 00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:27,830 It didn't mean that I wanted to die. It's just that I have trouble gaining 78 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:29,550 weight and you guys have trouble losing weight, right? 79 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:31,130 So we could help each other. 80 00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:37,430 Okay, um...

He did it like any good reporter, by verifying his 383 00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:25,620 sources, checking, double -checking his facts. 384 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,700 Did you know about it? Not until the copy hit my desk last night, just before 385 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:30,920 put the morning edition to bed. 386 00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,820 Well, of course, I brushed it up a little bit. I mean, nothing substantial. 387 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:36,720 Comma here, comma there. 388 00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:38,320 Are you going to let him run with it? 389 00:22:39,630 --> 00:22:43,150 Look, I admit that giving an inexperienced kid a front -page number 390 00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:46,730 unorthodox. But it's his story, Tom. I'm not going to pull it from him. 391 00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:50,910 David, my boy, I told him I want you to follow this up like a bloodhound. 392 00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:53,650 Sniff out every skeleton in Leonard Aaron's closet. 393 00:22:54,010 --> 00:22:57,810 A good reporter does not stop until he's unearthed every last bit of the truth. 394 00:22:58,670 --> 00:22:59,930 Do you think he can handle it? 395 00:23:00,370 --> 00:23:02,330 Well, he's Tom Bradford's son, isn't he? 396 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,240 You know something? It took me almost a year to get off the copy desk and out 397 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,280 into the field. I was lucky, Dad. I got a lead and it panned out. No, no, that's 398 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,280 not luck. That's ambition. 399 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,040 I mean, you saw your opportunity and you grabbed it. 400 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,260 Tell me something. What is it like to see your own byline out there on page 401 00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:46,600 Weird. It's like it's some other person's name up there. Yeah, well, you 402 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,320 have to worry about it around this house because around here you're just plain 403 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,480 David Bradford. 404 00:24:01,290 --> 00:24:02,390 I thought you could even spell. 405 00:24:02,690 --> 00:24:04,170 I can't. That's what editors are for. 406 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:07,450 Hey, if you make it real big, you can go on TV as an anchorman. 407 00:24:07,710 --> 00:24:09,910 An anchor person, please. Hey, I'll get it. 408 00:24:10,290 --> 00:24:13,490 If that's the press for David, tell him he is unavailable for an interview. 409 00:24:13,710 --> 00:24:14,669 What do you mean? 410 00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:15,810 David is the press. 411 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:18,850 Does that mean David has to wear tie all the time now? 412 00:24:19,170 --> 00:24:21,390 Well, it sort of comes with the territory, Nicholas. 413 00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:22,790 Love your hard hat. 414 00:24:24,170 --> 00:24:26,650 It's for you, David. Tony. Why didn't you tell him to come in? 415 00:24:27,010 --> 00:24:28,850 I did, but I don't think he wanted to. 416 00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:37,950 I think he likes all the... Hey, Tony, good to see you. Come on in. No, thank 417 00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:38,950 you. 418 00:24:39,310 --> 00:24:40,310 What's wrong? 419 00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:42,350 This. 420 00:24:42,910 --> 00:24:44,590 Oh, yeah, hey, listen, I... No, you listen. 421 00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:46,750 I told you something in confidence as a friend. 422 00:24:47,150 --> 00:24:49,190 I didn't think I'd have to go off the record with you, David. 423 00:24:50,270 --> 00:24:53,430 I'm sorry, Tony, but Aaron's a crook, and you know it. That's not the point. 424 00:24:54,130 --> 00:24:56,730 Aaron's assistant, the guy I told you about, is out of a job, and he's blaming 425 00:24:56,730 --> 00:24:57,730 me. 426 00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:59,910 Your story cost me a friend. 427 00:25:05,290 --> 00:25:06,290 Make that two. 428 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:39,490 Look, Tony didn't even tell me the guy's name. I just used it as a lead. All 429 00:25:39,490 --> 00:25:41,330 right, then you didn't do anything unprofessional. 430 00:25:41,850 --> 00:25:43,550 So unprofessional. Terrific. 431 00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:46,830 Meanwhile, I lose a friend and I feel like a first -class heel. 432 00:25:47,030 --> 00:25:51,290 No, no, no. All you did is write an article about a man who is breaking the 433 00:25:51,630 --> 00:25:54,470 Now, what he was doing goes far beyond you and Tony. 434 00:25:54,810 --> 00:25:58,930 I mean, this man was affecting everybody in this city. The people have a right 435 00:25:58,930 --> 00:25:59,930 to know the truth. 436 00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:01,290 It all sounds so noble. 437 00:26:01,750 --> 00:26:04,270 I know how you feel. I've been in the same position. 438 00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:06,450 more times than I care to remember. 439 00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:11,230 But people get hurt by the truth, and, well, that's a fact of life. I know, I 440 00:26:11,230 --> 00:26:13,530 know. I just wish you didn't have to touch somebody I care about. 441 00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:18,150 Well, you could have somebody else finish the story for you if that's what 442 00:26:18,150 --> 00:26:19,150 want. No. 443 00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:23,310 All right, then just do the best job you can. 444 00:26:26,010 --> 00:26:30,570 Oh, listen, you know, they're short of desk space down at the office. Do you 445 00:26:30,570 --> 00:26:33,110 still happen to have that old typewriter back at your apartment? 446 00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:37,100 No, I hocked that two years ago to buy a carburetor for my van. 447 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:42,400 Oh. Well, you're welcome to use this one here. I mean, it's full of old stories. 448 00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:43,860 Might bring you luck. 449 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,339 Don't you need it? 450 00:26:45,340 --> 00:26:48,420 Well, I happen to be a couple of columns ahead of myself at the moment. 451 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,060 Besides, if you're working here in the house, I can come down and give you a 452 00:26:52,060 --> 00:26:54,980 pointers. You know, from an old newsman. 453 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,780 As long as it's not too many pointers, Dad, I want to do the story myself. 454 00:27:00,270 --> 00:27:04,550 Oh, sure. I promise to limit it to spelling and maybe a couple of pointers 455 00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:05,550 construction. 456 00:27:21,690 --> 00:27:23,470 You can't worry your life. 457 00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:25,710 My life? 458 00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:37,850 You could blow your whole diet eating something like this. 459 00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:43,790 Definitely very fattening. What do you think, Tommy? 460 00:28:08,449 --> 00:28:10,450 Nicholas, what are you doing with those earmuffs on? 461 00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:12,610 I can't hear you, Dad. I got earmuffs on. 462 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:17,290 I'll tell you why he has earmuffs on. It's so noisy around here, you can't 463 00:28:17,290 --> 00:28:20,490 yourself think. That's right, Dad. It's bananas feeling. Wait a minute.

It requires a very creative person to mix 523 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,560 three days' worth of leftovers and come up with something edible. 524 00:34:18,860 --> 00:34:19,860 I wish I could eat it. 525 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,679 These potatoes are delicious. 526 00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:26,420 How's your article coming, David? 527 00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:30,260 Oh, fine. I think I've got enough information to nail Aaron to the wall. 528 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:34,080 David, do you have to be so graphic? You sound like a frontier sheriff. 529 00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:38,489 Well, Joanie, why not? I mean, this guy's a crook. He doesn't deserve 530 00:34:38,489 --> 00:34:40,770 from David or from anybody else. 531 00:34:41,170 --> 00:34:44,250 I don't know. That picture of him in the paper, he looked like a pretty nice 532 00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:47,330 guy. Oh, but Elizabeth, that makes the man more dangerous. 533 00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:50,270 I mean, that's a wolf in sheep's clothing. 534 00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:54,110 That's why David has to expose him. Hey, aren't you blowing this out of 535 00:34:54,110 --> 00:34:57,430 proportion just a little? You make it sound like a crusade. Well, why not? I 536 00:34:57,430 --> 00:35:00,710 mean, Watergate started with a piece of tape over a door lock. 537 00:35:01,230 --> 00:35:02,970 Watergate? He's only the tax assessor. 538 00:35:03,390 --> 00:35:06,750 You go ahead and be modest. I am proud of you. And I think everybody else is, 539 00:35:06,830 --> 00:35:11,070 too. Well, I'm proud of Tommy over there. I hear you're doing okay on the 540 00:35:11,070 --> 00:35:13,410 football team. Yeah, he actually was late for dinner. 541 00:35:13,770 --> 00:35:14,830 Sounds pretty big. 542 00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:19,390 Hey, listen, if you need a hand on some of the plays, I'll be glad to help. 543 00:35:19,570 --> 00:35:21,990 That's right.
