00:03:27Milton Watley. Okay, Milton. Do you know Ben Rowan the movie star? Yes. How well do you know him?

00:03:33Well from the time he came into Bright House here. I took care of it. Would you say you were a friend of his?

00:03:39Yeah, he's a nice man. I like it

00:03:41Listen carefully and answer what I ask

00:03:45Are you a friend of Ben Rowan?

00:03:47Yes, okay

00:03:49I hear that he's a drunk

00:03:51He wouldn't be here at Bright House. Otherwise, that's who's here. I'll call it. So then you agree. He is a drunk

00:03:57Absolutely. Now just so there's no question who we're talking about Ben Rowan the movie star, right?

00:04:03You're his friend and you say he's a drunk

00:04:07That's what I'm telling you as his friend Ben Rowan the movie star

00:04:11We got that sucker cold

00:05:11I

00:05:24Thought you called yourself a psychic

00:05:26Now you listen to me Hustler. I got my rump on the line. I need 20 story ideas by half-past five

00:05:30I'm only got 14 so far

00:05:33What do you mean? You don't have any emanations get one

00:05:38Fly you a monocle. Are you crazy?

00:05:41What do I care where she died? Listen Hofstadter. She was an American before she was a princess

00:05:47Well, I don't need her monocle aura. I mean the sand doesn't remember her in Malibu

00:05:59I'll call you back get on this

00:06:12I

00:06:15Want you to take a look at this

00:06:20This is the front page that increased our circulation for five hundred thousand just this week, but take another look at it

00:06:28Because this is what our paper is all about

00:06:30When you live a life where you have to account for every penny that you spend

00:06:34Well, your husband comes home at night

00:06:35He falls asleep looking at television because he's tired and because well because he hasn't anything to talk about

00:06:41Then your life is great

00:06:43Your life is made of straw

00:06:45You want color you want excitement?

00:06:47You want to go to far off places where only the rich go and where the famous of the world live?

00:06:52You hunger and you thirst for the true lives

00:06:55of the glamorous

00:06:57of the important

00:06:59Not your uncle Phil nor aunt Beatrice because you know everything there is to know about their lives

00:07:04And what they do doesn't thrill you or excite you

00:07:07Doesn't make your life rich

00:07:10So you go into a supermarket and after you buy your orange in your steak, which you need because your belly is empty

00:07:16You stand before the rack where the tabloids are

00:07:19Because it's a whole life that is empty

00:07:22Now you can have a choice of any one of the publications on that rack, but you want value for your money

00:07:27And this page has got that value

00:07:30This is the page that wins the war

00:07:33This page pleases me

00:07:36Good work Simon

00:07:40That's all for now, thank you

00:07:52You know Roland and North are making a new picture together

00:07:54Really?

00:08:56We were supposed to have two hours together. I know but everything changed in Hong Kong. It's my deadline. I have to make this connection

00:09:02It's not fair

00:09:10I

00:09:18Tried to

00:10:02Six

00:10:05With your own husband, you know, it takes some little fun out, but the pay is good. Thank you darling too kind

00:10:18Fill in grant

00:10:25Maybe she can't find it and you have to stay Oh

00:10:31Oh

00:11:01I

00:11:15Go good stuff

00:11:31You

00:11:44This is the really interesting story the best for last I mean it's got elements like she's up for murder now

00:11:51But in the beginning she had a very even disposition. I mean, she was really sweet

00:11:56She weighed

00:11:58609 pounds exactly to start with

00:12:02Up there on the platform, you know in the carnival. She was very sweet, but she couldn't get a date

00:12:07So she sent for this diet. She lost over 300 pounds in 18 months

00:12:13I mean her whole metabolism changed she lost pound after pound and she anything

00:12:19You know the carnival fired her

00:12:22So she enrolled in a secretarial school to learn typing and shorthand by this time she weighs only

00:12:29180 pounds and she gets a crush on the guy sitting next to her in class

00:12:35Naturally, you guessed it. He can't see her for chicken fat

00:12:41dust

00:12:43One day she takes her courage in her hands

00:12:45She passes him a note if he would like to go to the movies with her

00:12:50She'll pay for both of them. He sends her back a note. Sorry. I don't date fatties

00:12:57At this moment all she weighs is 181 pounds skin and bones

00:13:04Something broke inside of her. She went out. She got a gun. She came back. She shot him right in the shorthand class

00:13:11I mean she killed him

00:13:13It all came out of a trial

00:13:15How do you intend to handle it? I?

00:13:17Some diet turns ex fatty into killer. I don't need your help. I

00:13:22See it as a biography with a weak sample diet in a box. I

00:13:27Like his idea better

00:23:54Well, I don't mind being seen

00:23:56No, I need my hiding places

00:24:00Tell me why don't you like my paper?

00:24:07Mrs. Grant, this is the time for frankness. I

00:24:11Don't like your paper. Mr. Fallon because it's garbage

00:24:15Garbage is a harsh word. Can we compromise? How about vulgar?

00:24:22Well, it's also vulgar

00:24:27What do you want to hire me for I run a tabloid and I compete with other tabloids

00:24:32Now you may not believe this but I can't do that without good writers

00:24:36Well, how do you know what kind of writer I am more semi-literate? I read other publications besides my own. I

00:24:43Picked up a copy of lifestyle and I read your bag lady article. I liked it. You write well

00:24:49Thank You, mr. Fallon, it's very flattering

00:24:54Can we get to the point

00:24:56What this is about is exciting work a comfortable lifestyle in a pleasant climate and $80,000 a year

00:25:03That's a lot of money. I like to think I pay my people will and when you're on assignment

00:25:08We pay all expenses and that includes a company credit card so you never have to lay out any of your own cash

00:25:18Mr. Fallon, you've got the wrong person. Why are you one kind to little children and small animals?

00:25:30Have you ever been to Santa Barbara

00:25:33We

00:25:34Sell four and a half million copies of inside world every week that doesn't change what it is

00:25:40Well, the world doesn't belong just to college graduates. I put out a newspaper for people who never went to Yale or Harvard or Caltech

00:25:48Never had the chance to go to any college and they happen to be the majority in this country

00:25:53Now the fact that they buy their newspaper my newspaper of the supermarket

00:25:57Doesn't make them any less important

00:25:59The new elite

00:26:01Mrs. Grant, you're a star

00:26:04How would you like to put up money that you're a bad lady never bought a copy of lifestyle and read what you wrote about?

00:26:09But if you wrote the same article for me and I published it in inside world, she would have read it

00:26:14You can keep odds on that

00:26:16Maybe that's that important

00:26:29You

00:26:35What's this trust me you

00:26:59You

00:27:29You

00:27:51You could live here

00:27:54You mean this goes with the job? No, but you can rent it if you like it's available

00:27:59Do you own it?

00:28:02I picked up the key from the real estate agent

00:28:07You're trying to seduce me I want to make it possible for you to work for me

00:28:30What's bothering you

00:28:33I'm annoyed with myself. I

00:28:36Find your offer very attractive. What are you afraid of? The money is great

00:28:42I'm just not the kind of lady who can laugh all the way to the bank

00:28:45I like to be able to look at myself in the mirror in the morning

00:28:49You can have both. Oh, come on. If I work for you, when's the next time I write a true word?

00:28:55Are you gonna tell me I'm jumping at shadows

00:28:59You're the one who does the writing. I just sit at my desk and wait for you to bring it to me

00:29:03I'm in your hands. I met your mercy. Why do I find it so hard to believe you?

00:29:11My name is Harold Fallon and the publisher of inside world, this is June the 9th of 1984

00:29:17I'm dictating this as an irrevocable stipulation in a contract between myself and mrs

00:29:23Helen Grant, I haven't agreed to make a contract with you if mrs

00:29:27Grant should agree to sign a contract with us. It will be part of that agreement that in carrying out her assignment for inside world

00:29:33She will write only the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

00:29:37She will not be required to withhold or distort information of any kind

00:29:42And if she does so that will mean the dissolution of this contract

00:29:46But if she carries out the terms of this agreement and writes nothing but the truth

00:29:51This contract cannot be revoked or canceled before it's true

00:29:57I

00:30:16$80,000 a year moving expenses

00:30:23What are the schools like here

00:31:22$800,000 for it

00:31:23What happens to us if he goes on a binge for me? He is not drinking

00:31:27He is off the salt talking about production cost of

00:31:31$200,000 a day man, whether we shoot that day or whether we just sit around waiting for somebody to sober up

00:31:38He's sober and he's staying sober, okay

00:31:44You want me to accept that I accept it

00:31:48Let's talk about Ben's health. I want to talk about the health of his liver

00:31:52You want to talk about the health of his heart? I'm sorry to be this blunt

00:31:56What do I do if he drops dead three weeks into shooting three weeks is four million dollars. Do I just eat it?

00:32:02You want to take a look at his medical report? I won't do it without him

00:32:09We can make the picture without Ben Meg I can get the money

00:32:14But we can't make it without you. It's not bankable without you

00:32:19Then don't do it

00:32:21Meg

00:32:23Who in his right mind is going to pay a premium of?

00:32:29$800,000 for Ben I

01:06:36Where did you see her at Malibu? I was walking on the beach. When was this in the middle of the night?

01:06:59I don't know where she went. Well, if she calls again or she comes home, please call me immediately and it's not necessary

01:07:06For her to know that you're calling me. I'm always discreet. Mr. Fallon, and you know, I appreciate it. Oh, yes

01:07:12You're a very generous man

01:07:17You were walking on the beach in the middle of the night how long ago was it three nights ago

01:07:24What happened?

01:07:26I said her

01:07:27princess grace

01:07:32Then I said

01:07:34What are you doing here grace you died in Monaco in the car and she said I

01:07:41Felt a longing to see America again

01:07:45The headline is princess grace still haunts the American land. She loved is it?

01:08:05You

01:08:25Operator I want to make a call to New York charge it to my home phone in Santa Barbara

01:08:29I

01:08:37Forgive you

01:08:38You what you you forgive me you forgive me for what don't you remember what you did?

01:08:45Don't try to lay some kind of guilt trip on me

01:08:59Stan

01:09:02Nobody wants you here

01:09:04Okay, look I made a mistake

01:09:07You bet your boots you did

01:09:09people make mistakes

01:09:13Now don't kid yourself grant it's not just me there isn't a decent magazine in this town that I pick anybody up from inside world

01:09:21You're stuck in your cesspool pal

01:09:25Mr. Fallon, do you want to talk to sky on four?

01:09:29I

01:09:32Haven't heard from mrs. Grant directing mr. Fallon, but I did get a call from the operator a couple minutes ago

01:09:38Mrs. Grant made a telephone call to New York and charged it here. Thank you

01:09:46Hello research jet speaking

01:09:51Mrs. Grant just made a long-distance telephone call to New York and she charges to a home phone

01:09:56Would you find out who she made that call to yes, sir

01:10:02Now I want you to listen to this this is her this is about the UFO kidnapping we did the story on last February

01:10:14One moment, please

01:10:19Thank you

01:10:21Oh

01:10:31This is a special sale today, it's $30,000. Would you like to try it on sure?

01:10:45Oh, it's darling

01:10:49I suppose I don't have the cash to pay for it. Oh, we'll be back to take your check

01:10:57See I can't wear a coat like this, but you can

01:11:09Well, I don't suppose I need it right now sometimes

01:11:14The important thing is to have something what we don't need

01:11:27I have a company credit card

01:11:30To take those the woman is pregnant

01:11:33They claim they were married on a spaceship by the aliens their bishop says they're lying

01:11:39He says the child will be born out of wedlock. I would like to tie this whole thing up in a headline

01:11:44It's just something like a

01:11:46bishop decides

01:11:49spaceship, baby

01:11:51illegitimate

01:11:53Mr. Fallon, will you speak to a miss Hummel of the Hamburg fur shop in Beverly Hills? It's about a credit card

01:11:58She says put it through

01:12:01Go ready it. What is the problem all they have?

01:12:05The problem is the bishop doesn't want to marry them. We'll let them find somebody else. They're a very devout couple

01:12:11They don't want to get married outside their church

01:12:14We're talking about a mink jacket

01:12:17$3,500 that's the problem. You don't understand under a Supreme Court ruling the question of legitimacy

01:12:24Are we committed to this? Yes, didn't we run a positive article in the kidnapping? We certainly did. Yes

01:12:30Then they're as good as married, aren't they?

01:12:32But there's a legal question as to whether an alien has the power to perform a marriage

01:12:35That's what the bishop is challenging

01:12:38The bishop is an idiot if the captain of a vessel can marry people certainly the master of a spaceship can have at least the same

01:12:44power

01:12:45More power his spaceship is farther from shore

01:12:49Then let's cut out all this nonsense

01:12:50You talk to your people tell him to sue the bishop dereliction of duty defamation of character and see more get them a lawyer

01:12:58I'm sorry. I kept you waiting. Would you like to talk to mrs. Grant yourself? No, no, that will be necessary

01:13:04You do approve of the use of the credit card then we have no problem. Thank you

01:13:12Any further questions

01:13:22Yes, Andrea, I'm going to take my lunch now, is that all right, that's fine

01:13:27Okay, bye-bye

01:13:47I can get it for you

01:16:06I'm sure that they can't pay you enough. I mourn for you

01:16:10My eyes filled with tears my heart cracks for you, please. Don't bleed on the floor. Okay, listen

01:16:17You want to go to Matt on this you want to get into a killing war?

01:16:20How about we call fall on the phone bring him in as a referee, huh? I'm sure he'd appreciate it

01:16:27Essie get fall on the phone

01:16:32Missy don't use the address

01:16:38Right now right

01:16:42Forget to keep the tip

01:16:48You

01:16:55Excuse me. Yes, you have something for Simon

01:17:01And this clause calls for a notification you looking for me she's in the wrong office

01:17:08Sorry, I bothered you

01:17:12Do we ever send this notification

01:17:17You

01:17:47You

01:18:18I

01:18:25Excuse me, could you do me a favor?

01:18:34The envelope please it's a matter don't you trust me?

01:18:47I

01:19:18I

01:19:31Use grant to pick up a copy of the agreement between North and Brown

01:19:35She brought me back an empty envelope one sheet of blank paper was the envelope empty when she got it

01:19:40Well, I checked with Brown's secretary. She swears on her mother

01:19:44There was a copy of the agreement in it when she turned it over. Can you believe it?

01:19:51Well, this is annoying

01:19:53I'm working on the front page now, but I don't see how we can use the story without documentation

01:19:58Can you get another copy of that letter? Oh, yeah, but it's gonna take a little time

01:20:02The secretary's worried that grants gonna turn her in she'd lose her job. She's afraid to make a copy now

01:20:07I'd have to twist her arm

01:20:09What happens if they decide to take it public suppose they call a general press conference and turn it over to the media from

01:20:15their point of view

01:20:16Then we lose control of the situation and I'm sitting here with a dead front page. I'd like to see a dead grant

01:20:22Never break the peace assignment. Not until you're sure you don't need them any longer. I

01:20:28Think what we have to do now is to find some way to pit the parties against one another

01:20:32I mean some way to be sure that the roads don't trust it no matter what mrs. Grant tells them

01:20:40Well, thanks, I'm thanks for calling
