Never Been Kissed Page #3
JOSIE:
Hey Gus--did you see the story
idea I left on your desk?
GUS:
Yeah--the blind foster home mother.
It was good. I got Cahoon on it.
JOSIE:
(disappointed)
Oh. Cahoon. Yeah, he's--good.
GUS:
Geller, we've been over this. You're
a great copy editor. Maybe my best
copy editor. You're not a reporter.
JOSIE:
You've done five of my ideas.
GUS:
You know what separates us office
flunkies from the reporters?
JOSIE:
They don't have to be in the office
Christmas show?
GUS:
A flack jacket.
JOSIE:
(not getting it)
A--flack jacket.
GUS:
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks
he can write. But a journalist
gets in there, right where the
bombs are. He's aggressive. Grabs
the bull by the balls.
JOSIE:
You don't think I can grab bulls'
balls?
GUS:
Geller, you don't want a reporter's
life. They're very--messy. You're
all about order. Control. And
getting me my copy by five.
JOSIE:
Hey--I can be out of control.
Gus smiles. On his way out he re-adjusts Josie's nameplate
so it hangs at an angle. Tormented, Josie waits a beat.
She can't take it, and runs to the door and straightens
it.
GUS:
(over his shoulder)
Copy by five.
INT. SUN TIMES LUNCHROOM -- DAY
Actually, a pretty depressing kitchenette area. Anita and
Josie eat lunch--Anita eats Chinese out of a container,
Josie has three baggies of perfectly cut food in front of
her.
