00:00Hello, Grimmett.

00:15Excuse me.

00:16I'm Sally Thorpe from the Clarion.

00:18Are you?

00:20I'm Nat Hearn.

00:21Sir, I've gathered.

00:22Well.

00:23Well.

00:24Not exactly what I expected.

00:25Sorry if I've disappointed you.

00:26I suppose you realise you've caused quite a panic at the Clarion.

00:33Me?

00:34I was only there for five minutes.

00:35Well, that's just it.

00:36Mrs Vane and Kurt prepared a great welcome for you.

00:39Really?

00:40How is old Sam?

00:41Still trying to square his conscience with the advertising revenue?

00:44I'm fetching a bit of tar for a bottom net.

00:47Been trying to find you all day.

00:52The paint.

00:53It's wet.

00:54Oh.

00:56Here.

00:57Sit down.

00:59Mr Hearn, when are you coming back to the Clarion?

01:03I've had my notice and I want to make my plans.

01:06You mean they've given you the sack already?

01:07Well, why not?

01:08I was only brought in to keep your place warm.

01:12Everyone says how well you've been doing.

01:13Why should you give it up for me?

01:14But I'm dying to give it up.

01:15I've been counting the days till you got back.

01:17What?

01:18But I wouldn't do your dreary job for anything in the world.

01:22Dreary?

01:23What's dreary about it?

01:24You don't think that reporting Tormaugh's trivialities is a life's work, do you?

01:29Well, why not?

01:30A local paper's quite important, you know.

01:33More important in some ways than a national daily.

01:35The people who read it are the people who run it, if you see what I mean.

01:39Did you ever try to tell Sam that?

01:41No.

01:42No, not then.

01:43You see, I was only a cub reporter.

01:44Well, you're a big boy now.

01:46Here's your chance.

01:47The job's yours.

01:49Just a minute.

01:50Thank heavens, that's settled.

01:51But you can't...
