Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) Soundboard Edit

And that's all Don Hollenbeck would have asked.

And we're out.

And whose fault is that? Not really his.

At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

At that time, we said..

Because if they are right..

Booth is there, it's already set.

Did a Civil Liberties Union provide you with an attorney at that time?

Do you know that they since have been listed...

Ethically, we're fine.

Excuse me, Mr. Murrow.

Fellas, our next show is gonna be about Senator McCarthy.

For there, at the end of the tourist line, is Sherman Oaks...

Fred's gonna be in in an hour.

He proved again that anyone who exposes him...

His proposition is very simple:

I fully expected this treatment.

I'll say that.

In 1935, Ed Murrow began his career with CBS.

Just once in a while, let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.

Laski, as he makes clear in the introduction...

Millie! Just the person I wanted to see! Come here!

Morning, Johnny!

Mr. Chairman, this was 1932!

Mr. Murrow!

Natalie, did he say what it was about?

No more than to transmit the message.

No.

Not since the silent movies and the idols they produced...

Of course not. Shirley, honey...

Our history will be what we make of it

Reading fiction?

Sorry, Don.

Thank you very much, Leo!

Thank you, Natalie.

That is false

That's just the first shot. Somebody's going to go down.

That's true.

The makers of Kent considered all these characteristics...

There is an added bit of comedy to this whole story.

They weren't too pleased.

This might just do nobody any good

To receive or transmit messages was all I had to do

We are going with the story that says that the U.S. Air Force...

We are unable to judge the charges against his father or sister...

We have 4 days...

We have been a friend and ally of both Mr. Murrow and CBS News for many years.

We shall hope to deal with matters of more vital interest next week.

We will not walk in fear, one of another.

We'll be going right down to the wire

We're putting out a press release...

What happens to your children...

When World War Two broke out...

Why you'll lose this one?

Yes, sir

Yes, sir. Of course, sir.

You can't call this a neutral piece

You wanna know why that's not possible?

Colonel? He's in your office. There are two of them.

How many episodes? 5.

I read the O'Brian piece. Yeah, it's tough.

I think it's just no good for me. Uh, not for you.

I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to interrupt. Hey, Don.

I'm with you today, Ed, and I'm with you tomorrow. Thanks, Bill.

Morning, Fred. Morning, Mr. Paley.

Yes. Thank you.
