• Tom Friend : What are you drinking?

  Editor : What am I drinking? I'm drinking my life away. Why? You want some?

• Tom Friend : Okay, I changed my mind.

  Editor : About what?

  Tom Friend : About what? About everything.

  Editor : Everything?

  Tom Friend : E-very-thing.

• Editor : I will tell you this, there is a story there.

  Tom Friend : That's no story. That's no story. That's every story. *That* is the story.

  Editor : Make something out of it. And if you can't do that, sir, then - make it up!

• Editor : Are you still a journalist or are you a 'novelist'?

  Tom Friend : Same thing out here.

• Tom Friend : I don't have a lot of time.

  Editor : Jesus Christ, man, you don't have a lot of time? Abraham Lincoln, listen to me, Abraham Lincoln gave the famed Gettysburg Address in five minutes. Five! So, don't ever talk to me about time.

• Tom Friend : What's up?

  Editor : What's up? Isn't that an interesting question to ask me. I got reporters wounded. I've got reporters that are held captive. Held hostage. I got two reporters dead. I got reporters on the front lines. I got reporters that are undercover - with the insurgents, with the counter-insurgents. I got people inside the capitol - even in the Office of the President, himself.
