Walter Burns:
Now, look Roy, I want you to hustle and write me a story from the point of view of the escaped man. He hides, cowering, afraid of every sound, of every light. He hears footsteps, his heart is going like that, and all the time they're closing in. Now, get the sense of the animal at bay. Bensinger:
Sort of Jack London style? Walter Burns:
Exactly

Roy, write me a story from the
point of view of the escaped man.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.332
He hides, afraid of every sound,
every light.
00:00:08.536 --> 00:00:11.999
He hears footsteps, they're closing in.
00:00:11.238 --> 00:00:14.969
- Get the sense of the animal at bay.
- Sort of Jack London style?
00:00:15.176 --> 00:00:18.027
- I'll get my rhyming dictionary.
- It doesn't have to rhyme.
00:00:18.479 --> 00:00:20.064
I'm deeply grateful, Mr. Burns.
00:00:22.283 --> 00:00:24.683
If there's an opening
for a war correspondent...
00:00:24.885 --> 00:00:26.318
...I parler a little French.
00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:28.988
- I'll keep you in mind.
- Au revoir, mon capitain.
00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:30.282
Bonjour.
00:00:34.061 --> 00:00:36.791
"His white-haired mother's tears".
That's the tops.
00:00:36.997 --> 00:00:39.659
Listen, that fellow Bensinger
is on his way right now.
00:00:39.867 --> 00:00:42.301
Handle him with kid gloves.
Have him write poetry.
00:00:42.503 --> 00:00:44.869
We don't want him.
Stall him until the extra's out.
00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:47.165
Say his poetry smells
and kick him downstairs.
00:00:47.374 --> 00:00:49.239
- Double-crosser.
- That'll teach him.
00:00:49.443 --> 00:00:51.057
He won't quit his paper
without giving notice after this.
00:00:51.779 --> 00:00:52.837
- I mean you.
- Me?
00:00:53.997 --> 00:00:55.481
You'd double-cross anybody...
Wait a minute.
00:00:55.683 --> 00:00:58.652
Bruce isn't coming back.
He said he was taking the 9:00 train.
