True Memoirs of an International Assassin Page #3

---

Oh, that's me.

Gotta jet.

[William] Hey, Mr. Larson.

Oh, hey, Sam.

I didn't know you were a writer.

Uh, yeah. Where'd you hear that?

You know how everybody

in the building talks.

Not really, no.

Raj on five sent a Snapchat.

- Oh. I'm not on the Slapchat.

- [laughs] It's Snap.

Never mind. Congrats.

Thank you.

You got to tell me though.

The whole assassin thing...

it's BS, right?

Well, I could tell you, but...

then I'd have to slit your throat

and watch you bleed out.

Oh, I meant...

- I'm gonna take the stairs.

- Yeah... that didn't come out right.

Oh, hope you're hungry.

Okay.

This is where you say, "I owe you one."

And I say, "I know you're good for it."

I told you the Ghost was not to be shared.

This is real life, Samuel.

People could get hurt.

- You read my book.

- Of course I read the book.

I thought we were friends.

Look.

I'm really sorry.

I changed the details.

It was supposed to be fiction.

Why do you write?

I wanna be an author. A published one.

- But not like this.

- No.

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.

[Sam] 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...

[laughs]

- 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.

- [Katie] Right here.

- Uh, Kylie?

- Ten seconds.

Where's the timetable

that doesn't match the dates?

- [clears throat] Kylie.
