Burke Hully (second interview subject): As Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Well, we had a dog, and it had a wonderful life with us, and we had a wonderful life with it. And it was put to sleep before it had any bad pain.



Alex Chadwick: So, here's the idea -- go out and listen to people, someplace where they're comfortable and have time to talk.



Hans-Jurgen Morik: Sometimes don't they just pass you and look at you like -- interviews, 50 cents?

Alex Chadwick: Yes, most of them do. But, you know, some of them stop.




Alex Chadwick: And the sign, it's kind of a lure, and kind of a gag. And if the idea doesn't work, maybe we can at least make lunch money.



Delores Williams: (third interview subject) It was nice talking to you.

Alex Chadwick: All right.

Delores Williams: And I'm going to take my 50 cents back.

Alex Chadwick: Whoa, wait a minute.

Delores Williams: (Laughs)



Neil Owen: I always do things the hard way -- from driving stick shifts, to mowing lawns, to learning how to walk, always doing things the hard way.

Sometimes I can figure out things like that, you know, that no one else can. Other times I can't figure out the simplest things and the answer is right in front of me. And everyone else can do it, but I can't.

Alex Chadwick:Yeah, but don't you think everybody's like that? They are

Neil Owen: Maybe. I don't know. I don't know.
