Chuck? Um... the, uh, thing with George Sims? That was... the voice, the voice that you heard on the telephone... that was my brother. I'm sorry. There really is a George Sims. I, I, I've spoken to him a million times. He just... stopped talking to me. You know, because of the article. He was so mad about it. I didn't know what to do and the guys from Forbes were putting so much pressure on me, you know? And you were so mad. I just thought that if I could get everybody off my back, OK, for just a day, just a day would give me enough time to go and find him. You can understand that, can't you? Chuck Lane:
You're fired, Steve. Stephen Glass:

You're fired. You've lost your job. Stephen Glass:
[pleading]
