The Horse Whisperer Page #5

Hand Held Camera captures the energy of the room as it follows

overlapping lines, laughter, etc... yet, no matter how casual

it all seems, Annie is very much at the center of control...

We enter the scene of LAUGHTER, as Annie asks KEVIN, a feature

writer:

ANNIE:

...So what did you say to her?

KEVIN:

I said, thank you very much...

(LAUGHTER, AD LIBS)

I really should do the interview...

But perhaps if you'd like to have

dinner...

LAUGHTER... Everyone starts Ad Libbing...

VARIOUS CHARACTERS

Dinner!!... He's so cute.... Why

don't I get those kind of

interviews?... Look, he has husband

number eight written on his

forehead...

ANNIE:

All right, all right, all right...

Kevin, good job. Write the interview.

If I don't like it, you may have to

sleep with her for a follow-up!

(laughter)

Now... I'm thinking about another

fashion designer spread... Who's

news out there?

Characters shout out designer names and comments as the phone

rings and LUCY picks up... speaking amidst the talking...

LUCY:

Hold on.

(presses hold)

Gottschalk.

The room goes dead quiet, instantly. Then erupts in laughter

as everyone realizes it. Annie, however, waves her hand as

she takes the phone...

ANNIE:

Quiet... Quiet!

Everyone obeys. Annie presses SPEAKER PHONE.

ANNIE:

David?

DAVID GOTTSCHALK (V.O.)

Who's there?

ANNIE:

Everyone. Working overtime. Just for

you.
