Tony Vincenzo and Carl Kolchak in “The Youth Killer”

Carl, do you mind if I read the copy? After all, I am the bureau chief here.

Yes, absolutely, Tony. Absolutely. Tomorrow morning, first thing, I'll spitball a few ideas at cha.

Spitballing a few ideas is when you start a feature, not when you're polishing it.

No, no. That's the way I work, Tony. See, I spit and polish at the same time.
