Editor: Hey, can you follow up on this bear thing from TV?

Reporter: Oh Jesus, why. Game Commission never talks until the sheriff does, and the sheriff isn't.

Editor: Well, we're getting a lot of calls about it. It sounds like someone got hurt?

Reporter: We'll get nothing right now. Seriously. If Petosky isn't saying anything, and Game isn't saying anything, who's going to say anything? The hospital? Right.

Editor: Well, check the comment sections, maybe someone will say something you can follow up on.

Reporter: Jesus, like the brother of the victim is going to chime in?

Editor: You're the reporter! I want something online in an hour.

Reporter: I'll call the sheriff, I'll call Game, I'll call WNEP and use their article, and that's all I'll get in the next hour.

Editor: Fine, just do it. I'll send all the people calling about it to you, too.

Reporter: That sounds productive.

Editor: We haven't updated the website in 45 minutes, we need something new. If you don't want it to be this story, put something else together.
