Herbie Cook : The old man sure looked bad. Did you see his face?
Charles Tatum : Yeah.
Herbie Cook : Like the faces of those folks you see outside a coal mine with maybe 84 men trapped inside.
Charles Tatum : One man's better than 84. Didn't they teach you that?
Herbie Cook : Teach me what?
Charles Tatum : Human interest. You pick up the paper, you read about 84 men or 284, or a million men, like in a Chinese famine. You read it, but it doesn't say with you. One man's different, you want to know all about him. That's human interest.
