The True Memoirs of an International Assassin Page #3

---

Why do you spend all your time doing it?

I don't know.

- To escape, I guess.

- Well, then you are wasting your time.

Stop writing other people's stories.

And start living your own.

Look, Kylie.

I can't do this anymore.

I gotta tell the truth.

- I booked an interview with Katie Couric.

- On network TV?

What, are you 80? No, streaming, live.

- I can't come clean to Katie Couric.

- Who said anything about coming clean?

Just promote the book,

make us rich as hell.

And atone for your sins

in a follow-up to Katie.

- My sins? Did I hear you correctly?

- Yes, you did. The Katie Couric.

You don't understand. I betrayed a friend,

lied about who I am.

So did James Frey. On Oprah.

- That guy's a fraud.

- And a gazillionaire.

If you don't wanna do it,

I've got ten authors

who would give their left nut

to get on Katie.

Is it warm in here?

'Cause it feels very, very warm.

Hey, just spoke to the executive producer.

So, it's gonna be a softball segment,

two minutes tops.

- Katie hasn't read the book. Go get 'em.

- Okay.

Great to meet you, Sam.

I have heard so many nice things

about you.

You good?

- They've been so nice to me.

- Good.

- Anything you want.

- Okay.

Just ask.

Well, not anything, but...

- Thank you, Miss Couric. Appreciate it.

- Oh, please. Call me Katie.

Thank you, Katie.

- Katie.

- Just... Just breathe.

- Right, right, right.

- This is gonna be fun.

It is gonna be fun. It feels fun.

Katie.

Right here. Just check on this page.

- It's right here.

- Right here.

- Uh, Kylie?

- Ten seconds.

Where's the timetable

that doesn't match the dates?

- Kylie.

- No, no, no, the other one.

- Five seconds.

- Yeah, perfect.

Can someone find my publisher,

Kylie Applebaum, please?

This is gonna be great. Don't worry.

- I wasn't. Should I be worried?

- Love the book. Great stuff.

Three, two, two, two...

For years, Sam Larson was known simply

as the Ghost.

But now he's telling all in his new book,

True Memoirs of an International Assassin.

Sam, thanks for being here.

Hello. Nice to... See me.

Do you mind if I read a passage

from your book?

Oh, why do you need? You don't...

You're gonna...

"Killing became easy for me.

I told myself that I was making the world

a better place.

But in my heart of hearts,

I knew the truth.

I was addicted to death."

Is Kylie...?

So, Sam, let me ask you.

Are you still addicted to death?

Can I...? You know, can I just...?

Before we start,

I've just got to go to the bathroom.

Is there a...? Do they have a bathroom?

Do they...?

- In the outside, is there a bathroom?

- We're actually live.

But this is also live

and I gotta make it happen.

I get... Is there...?
