JOANNA:

Yeah.

STEVE:

What does that mean?

JOANNA:

You said--when you told me the

story, you said, “Dan, did Michael

Moritz ask you if I had a daughter

named Lisa?” and Dan said, “Yeah”

and you said, “What did you tell

him?” and Dan said, “Yes.” My point

was that he answered you simply and

honestly because he didn’t think

he’d done anything wrong.

STEVE:

(pause)

Except, Joanna, except--I don’t

have a daughter named Lisa!

(beat--picking up the

magazine)

And this story is now about how I’m

denying paternity and took a blood

test!

STEVE (CONT'D)

And that’s why there’s a picture of

a--I don’t know what the f*** that

is--that’s why there’s a picture of

a PC on the cover instead of a

picture of me and the Mac.

(beat)

I don’t know what to tell you. I

was supposed to be Time magazine’s

Man of the Year and then Dan Kottke

was born.

JOANNA:

(beat)

Well...

STEVE:

What.

JOANNA:

She’s waiting for you.

STEVE:

Who?

JOANNA:

Chrisann.

STEVE:

Brennan?

JOANNA:

They’re out in the hall. They’ve

been sitting in the back of the

auditorium since seven this

morning, she wants to talk to you.

STEVE:

How did she get in?

JOANNA:

Who was gonna stop her?

STEVE:

I’m not having a session with her

right now.

JOANNA:

We issued 335 press credentials for

the launch, Steve, you piss off

Chrisann and she’s gonna stand in

the lobby and give 335 interviews

and you, pal, will be longing for

the halcyon days of Dan Kottke.

STEVE:

No, there’s less chance of a scene

if you stay here, she’ll be cool.

I find this all excruciatinglypersonal and I’m not staying.

I don’t want to be in a room alone
