Interview Page #3

Synopsis: Everyone wants a piece of a celebrity. Pierre is a political reporter, assigned to write a fluff piece on Katya, a blond who acts in slasher movies and a Fox show about single girls in the city. The interview, at a restaurant, goes badly: she's late, he's unprepared and rude. After leaving, he bangs his head in a fender bender and she takes him to her loft to clean the wound. Lubricated by alcohol and competitive natures, the interview resumes. She takes phone calls from her fiancé, Pierre reads her diary on her computer. They discuss wounds, he expresses concern, father-daughter feelings arise. Out come camcorders to tape their darkest secrets. Is friendship or more in the offing?

A drink. Yeah.

Do you think that's a good idea?

I mean you probably have concussion.

I do not have a concussion.

Believe me.

I don't have any Bourbon.

Is Scotch okay?

That would be much appreciated.

Me...

Please.

So some place you've got here.

The luxury of success.

Well, when you move out

they can always make it an airport.

Cheers.

Salute!

Listen, I...

I apologize...

For being unprofessional.

Apology accepted.

How is your head?

Couple of more minutes.

Are you gonna sit down

and have a drink with me?

Come on.

You're making me nervous.

This is very good Scotch.

Lucky for you.

It was very kind of you

to bring me here.

It's closer than

the emergency room.

Besides, I must feel responsible.

Well, you should.

This is all your fault.

See that?

That killer smile causes car wrecks.

God, you're better

when you're drunk.

I have a long way to go

before that happens.

I better get you another.

Why don't you just

bring the bottle?

Yes, Captain.

Look, you're more than welcome

to stay and finish up your drink.

But I really have to work

on my lines soon. Okay?

For what?

You're kidding, right?

I'm sorry.

My brain must be frozen.

For my show.

I do a TV show.

I know. I know that.

I knew that. Hum..

I do.

City something.

Sexy City.

City Girls.

Sexy City Girls.

Not sexy.

No, just City Girls.

But you're also sexy.

Don't even pretend you watch

the show, Pierre. Okay?

You're beautiful.

That's why I play the lead.

I'm sorry.

It is...

Really important for your career?

Is journalism important

for your personality?

Yeah, I think so.

How?

Well, it's made me

a better person.

What kind of person

were you before?

So what are you gonna do next?

Basic Instinct 3?

You're not interviewing

me now, okay?

Well, I gotta write something.

Well, make it up.

Everybody else does.

What?

Oh, Maggie.

Stop.

What?

No.

Are you crazy?

No.

It's crazy.

I'm gonna be a while, okay?

There's a computer over there.

You can google me.

Oh nobody.

Sweetie, because of

everything that's going on.

I just really don't think

it's a good idea.

You know. We have to

be really careful. That's all.

Because this has happened before

and it's gonna happen again.

...considered to be the

architect of the president's success,

...has been implicated, along with

several other senior advisers.

The president wasn't answering

any questions today.

The vice-president was also

unavailable for comment.

No sh*t.

The White House decided to hold

a press conference early tomorrow

to address the charges.

Further indictments are anticipated.

Although 'who and when' is a major topic

of speculation inside the Beltway.
