Bridget Jones's Baby Page #4
BRIDGET:
Oh God, oh God. Who told you?
MIRANDA, a gorgeous, thirty-something friend of Bridget’s and
presenter of the show, steps forward and takes a selfie with
her.
MIRANDA:
Guilty. Thought it would cheer you
up. Hashtag ‘Bridge’s bday’.
Bridget looks horrified as SUSAN the pregnant Floor Manager
brings up a cake emblazoned with forty three candles for her
to blow out.
SUSAN:
So hot... so many candles.
They start to sing ‘Happy 43rd Birthday to you’ as the Floor
Manager continues to hold the cake up.
Then mid-song the fire alarm starts to go off and then the
sprinklers start.
RICHARD FINCH, Bridget’s fifty-something-but-trying-to-lookyounger
boss, pops his head through the studio backdrop.
RICHARD FINCH:
Who the f*** set the sprinklers
off?
12 INT. HARD NEWS. CORRIDOR. DAY. 12
Bridget is striding down the corridor - a woman at the top of
her game - West Wing style - with two young, deferential
assistants JOSH and LAURA striding alongside, hanging on to
BRIDGET:
Josh, I want you to see what
attacks in Ramallah. I might need a
live link. And Laura, tell Adam
I’ll be in to check the human
trafficking VT.
JOSH and LAURA peel off and MIRANDA joins her.

MIRANDA:
So, how will I be changing the
world today?
BRIDGET.
Well our main feature will be the
exclusive interview with the
Foreign Secretary about NGochi.
As she says “NGochi”- she does it with the authentic African
click.
MIRANDA:
OMG, how do you do that? N-Gochi, N-
Gochi.
She tries but fails to do the click.
MIRANDA (CONT’D)
You are so good at that.
BRIDGET:
I know, I’ve really been
practising, “NGochi”
They go backwards and forwards “NGochi-ing” at each other.
13 INT. HARD NEWS STUDIOS. HAIR & MAKE UP DEPT. DAY. 13
Bridget and Miranda continue to talk as Miranda is primped
and preened by a hair and make-up woman, CATHY.
Cathy tries to N’Gochi too. They are all at it.
CATHY:
Oooh, it’s harder than you think.
BRIDGET:
It’s all in the throat.
MIRANDA:
And after “NGochi”...
She gets it right and high fives with Bridget and Cathy.
MIRANDA (CONT’D)
... how do we plan to celebrate
tonight?
BRIDGET:
Night out with the gang.
MIRANDA:
Please say that involves group sex.
CATHY:
I know a smashing little club for
that, just round the back of
Berwick Street.

BRIDGET:
Chance would be a fine thing. I’m
beginning to think I’ve passed my
sell-by-date. I’m like an old
packet of custard creams, all
mouldy and crushed.
