Spotlight Page #2
story’s for us.
MATT:
Ben likes it.
MIKE:
Yeah, it’s not bad, it’s just not
Spotlight.
Robby enters.
ROBBY:
What’s just not Spotlight?
SACHA *
The PD numbers. *
MIKE:
The numbers story. It feels
thin.
ROBBY (CONT’D)
Oh. You got Cahill to talk?
MIKE:
(busted)
No. But I will.
11/26/14 5.
ROBBY:
Good. Then we’ll know if it’s thin.
Robby goes into his office, bit of an edge to him.
MIKE:
How’d it go upstairs?
MATT:
Okay. Robby gave a good speech.
SACHA:
I heard Lubin and Connor are going
to the Times.
MATTY:
Come on, really?
MIKE:
Yeah, I heard the same thing.
MATT:
They’re leeching us.
MIKE:
At least they’re sending us a guy
from Miami to run things. That
should help.
MATT:
Has Baron even spent time in Boston?
MIKE:
I don’t think he’s ever been here
before. Maybe we should buy him a
map.
SACHA:
I have a friend down at the Herald,
said Baron cut 15% of the staff.
MATT:
Great.
Mike rolls his chair back, calls out to Robby in his office.
MIKE:
Hey Robby, the new boss coming in to
make cuts?
ROBBY:
I have no idea.
MIKE:
Aren’t you sitting down with him?
Robby looks up, f***ing Rezendes, always snooping.
11/26/14 6.
ROBBY:
Yes, I am.
MIKE:
You think it’s about Spotlight?
ROBBY:
I don’t know, Mike, but I do know
Ben needs an answer on the crime
numbers story.
MIKE:
I’m telling you, I really don’t
think that story’s for us.
ROBBY:
So you did get Cahill to talk then?
Mike, annoyed, wheels back to his desk, picks up his phone...
10 INT. FOUR SEASONS HOTEL, RESTAURANT - LATER 10
Marty sits at a table reading “The Curse of the Bambino,” a
NOTEPAD beside him.
ROBBY:
Mr. Baron.
Marty looks up and rises to greet Robby.
ROBBY (CONT’D)
Walter Robinson. Robby.
MARTY:
Thanks for taking time out of your
weekend, Robby.
ROBBY:
My pleasure.
(they sit)
What are you reading?
Marty holds up a book.
MARTY:
‘The Curse of the Bambino.’
ROBBY:
(sitting)
That’s a great book. The Globe has
season tickets at Fenway, once you
settle in.
11/26/14 7.
MARTY:
Thank you. Uh, to be honest, I’m
not much of a baseball fan. I’m
just trying to get a feel for city.
Are you originally from Boston?
ROBBY:
I am, born and raised. A lot of the
newsroom is from here. It really
feels like a local paper in that
way.
MARTY:
And did that change at all after the
paper was sold to the Times?
ROBBY:
No. I don’t think that had a big
impact.
MARTY:
Good.
(then)
So, you’re an editor for, uh, the
Spotlight team?
ROBBY:
I prefer to think of myself as more
of a player-coach. But yes. Are
you familiar with Spotlight?
