Big Movie Premiere: The Proposal Page #4

---

We had a phone tip this afternoon

from a man named...

Would it be Bob Spaulding?

- Bob Spaulding.

- Bob. Poor Bob. I am so sorry.

Bob is nothing but a disgruntled

former employee.

And I apologise.

But we know you`re incredibly busy

with a room full of gardeners

and delivery boys to tend to.

If you just give us our next step, we

will be out of your hair and on our way.

Miss Tate, please.

Let me explain to you the process

that`s about to unfold.

Step one, will be a scheduled interview.

I`ll put you each in a room,

and l`ll ask you every little question

that a real couple

would know about each other.

Step two, I dig deeper.

I look at your phone records,

I talk to your neighbours,

I interview your co-workers.

If your answers don`t

match up at every point,

you will be deported indefinitely.

And you, young man,

will have committed a felony

punishable by a fine of $250,000

and a stay of five years

in federal prison.

So, Andrew.

You wanna... you want to talk to me?

No?

Yes?

The truth is...

Mr Gilbertson, the truth is...

Margaret and l...

...are just two people

who weren`t supposed to fall in love.

But did.

We couldn`t tell anyone we work with

because of my big promotion

that I had coming up.

- Promotion?

- Yeah.

- Your...?

- We, we both felt that it would be

deeply inappropriate,

if I were to be promoted to editor...

- Editor.

-...while we were...

So...

Have the two of you told your parents

about your secret love?

Oh, l... impossible.

My parents are dead.

- No brothers or sisters either.

- Gone.

Are your parents dead?

- No, his are very much alive.

- No, very much.

Very much. They`re... Well,

we were gonna tell them this weekend.

Gammy`s 90th birthday,

and the whole family`s coming together.

We thought it`d be a nice surprise.

Where is this surprise gonna take place?

- At Andrew`s parents` house.

- Where is that located again?

Why am I doing all the talking?

It`s your parents` house.

Why don`t you tell him where it is.

Jump in.

- Sitka.

- Sitka.

- Alaska.

- Alaska?

You`re gonna go to Alaska this weekend?

- Yeah.

- Yes, yes.

We are going to Alaska.

Alaska, that`s where...

That`s where my little...

that`s where my Andrew`s from.

OK.

Fine. I see how this is gonna go.

I will see you both

at 1 1.00 Monday morning

for your scheduled interview,

and your answers better

match up on every account.

- Thank you.

- Hello?

- Looking forward to this.

- We`re looking forward to it.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Gonna be fun.

I`ll be checking up on you.

You got it.

OK... so, what`s gonna happen

is we will go up there.

We`ll pretend we`re

boyfriend and girlfriend,
