Big Movie Premiere: The Proposal Page #2

---

Bergen and Malloy

want to see you upstairs.

OK. Come get me in ten minutes.

- We`ve got a lot to do.

- Okey-doke.

Good morning, Miss Tate.

Jack, Edwin.

Congratulations on the Oprah thing.

- That`s terrific news.

- Thank you, thank you.

This isn`t about my second raise, is it?

Just kidding.

Margaret, do you remember

when we agreed

you wouldn`t go to

the Frankfurt Book Fair

because you weren`t allowed

out of the country

while your visa application

was being processed?

- Yes. I do.

- And... you went to Frankfurt.

Yes. We were going to lose

DeLillo to Viking.

So... really didn`t

have a choice, did l?

Seems the United States Government

doesn`t care who publishes Don DeLillo.

We just spoke to your

immigration attorney.

Great. So, we`re all good?

Everything good?

Margaret, your visa

application has been denied.

- And you are being deported.

- Deported?

And there was also some paperwork

you didn`t fill out in time.

Come on. Come on!

It`s not like l`m even an immigrant!

I`m from Canada, for Christ`s sake.

There`s gotta be...

something we can do.

We can reapply, but unfortunately

you have to leave the country

for at least a year.

OK. OK, well, that`s not ideal, but

I can... I can manage

everything from Toronto...

- No.

-...with videoconferencing, lnternet.

Unfortunately, if you`re deported,

you can`t work for an American company.

Until this is resolved l`m going to

turn operations over to Bob Spaulding.

- Bob Spaulding? The guy I just fired?

- We need an editor in chief.

He is the only person

who has enough experience.

- You cannot be serious. I beg of you.

- Margaret.

We are desperate to have you stay.

If there was any way, any way at all

we could make this work,

we`d be doing it.

There is no way... I am begging you.

No. Excuse me, we`re in a meeting.

- Sorry to interrupt.

- What?!

Mary from Ms Winfrey`s office

called. She`s on the line.

- I know.

- She`s on hold.

She needs to speak with you.

I told her you were otherwise engaged.

She insisted, so... sorry.

So...

Come here.

Gentlemen, I understand. I understand

the predicament that we are in.

And...

And there`s... Well...

I think there`s something

that you should know.

We`re getting married.

- We are getting married.

- Who is getting married?

You and l.

You and I are getting married! Yes.

- We are.

- Getting married.

- We are getting married.

- Yes.

Isn`t he your secretary?

- Assistant.

- Executive... assistant secretary.

Titles. But, wouldn`t be the first time

one of us fell for our secretaries.

Would it, Edwin?

With Laquisha. Remember?

So, yeah. The truth is, you know,

Andrew and l, we`re...

...we are just two people who weren`t
