Confessions Of A Shopaholic Page #2

Synopsis: Struggling with her debilitating obsession with shopping and the sudden collapse of her income source, Rebecca Bloomwood unintentionally lands a job writing for a financial magazine after a drunken letter-mailing mix-up. Ironically writing about the very consumer caution of which she herself has not abided, Rebecca's innovative comparisons and unconventional metaphors for economics grants her critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowned fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness.

- But he's worth 1 .2 billion...

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

- We talked and talked. Said nothing.

Yeah, of course I did.

He understands the rules.

It's always...

Of course we got the bill.

Listen, I've got to go.

I'm interviewing.

Mm-mm.

Yeah, no, not me... Bye.

Sorry about that.

Right, um, Rebecca...

- Ah! We met!

- Hi! We did. Thank you.

Sick aunt, scarf. Yep.

Did you get it to her?

I did. And when a stranger

is kind like that, it's just...

- Wow.

- That's lovely. Um...

- Do you have a resume for me?

- I do. Yes, I do!

Ah...

I... could pretty much just tell you.

My name is Rebecca Bloomwood,

I've been a journalist for five years.

I'm very comfortable juggling numbers,

I speak fluent Finnish, I know...

- Finnish?

- Yes, Finnish.

- I'm also...

- That's interesting. Why Finnish?

What's behind you?

- Um...

- Oh, my God.

Oh, it's a naked man. Oh, sorry.

It gave me such a fright. I, uh...

I didn't know what it was.

Clearly, he's beheaded.

Who would do that to him?

Well, a few questions.

But, look! Makes you wonder

what they're looking at

on the fifth floor, right?

You could turn your desk around

and just stare at it all day.

I would.

- Not.

- Ms. Bloomwood.

I'm not a pervert.

Sit down.

I'm sorry, I'm terrible at interviews.

Any financial stories that have

caught your eye recently?

Yes. And I am glad

that you brought that up.

Because I am furious.

No, I really am.

No, I mean, what is the story

with the recent fish crisis?

Fish crisis?

- Fiscal... crisis.

- Fiscal crisis.

- Terrifying. Fiscally, I mean.

- How so?

- For the fiscal family.

- I'm sorry.

- Not a moment too soon.

- Ms. Bloomwood, you dropped your scarf.

She died.

Oh, Ms. Bloomwood, you have had

a very, very tough 25 minutes.

I'm glad you understand!

So many people just... Right.

OK, so I would propose we curtail...

Did you just scrub my name off?

- Oh, no. Routine.

- That seems premature.

OK, I'm gonna propose that

we curtail this interview forthwith.

So I'll leave you and your numbers,

but thank you very much for seeing me,

and I appreciate... Oh!

I appreciate everything.

Good day.

Good day.

Come on. Let's go give

Mrs. Great Outdoors her tent.

She's not retiring.

- What?

- She's abandoning a sinking ship.

That little rat! The magazine's

folding and she knew!

She knew and she didn't tell anybody.

Well, on the bright side,

you hated working for that magazine.

It was my income, Suze.

I need my income!

OK, Bex, the most important thing

is not to panic.

- Don't answer the phone!

- No!

- It might be a debt collector!

- Hello?

- It's Derek Smeath.

- The list. Get the list!

- I think I saw it over here.
