I see. So more like a tight rope walker who secretly wants to be a trapeze artist. |
I guess. |
Interesting. |
She said peanuts, you cretin. |
You never know around here. |
Don't write that part. |
Is this an gritty expos or a candy ass press release? |
Write what you want. Just try not to make it so obvious that you're crazy about me. |
Life must be peachy on Planet Ted. |
Funny you should say "peachy." |
I did my homework. Your grandfather was a peach farmer. |
My adoptive grandfather. Who knows what my biological grandfather did. |
Undoubtedly an aristocratic bartender of some sort. |
Considering this is your first time on a private jet, on which you are interviewing the world's most eligible bachelor, you are extremely cavalier. |
I bet there are lots and lots of mirrors on Planet Ted. |
See? You're impertinent, rude, sarcastic. |
And this is not my first time on a private jet, so quit acting like I'm Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. |
A little respect would be nice, that's all. |
Well? What do you think of her? |
You're so twitterpated you don't even see the miner's hat and the pickax. |
You're implying she's, what, a gold digger? |
Charlie's right. Jealousy is so unattractive. |
Second only to unbridled, narcissistic conceit. |
Why can't you be nice to me? |
You've got enough people kissing your ass. |
Wow...you clean up nice. |
Put your eyeballs back in your head, William Randolph. I'm on assignment. A girl has to fit in. |
Where are we going? |
To the best hiding place in the world. |
I can't believe your dad built this for you. |
He didn't. He had it built. |
Whatever. |
Not "whatever." It's two different things. |
He cared enough to want you to have it. |
He phoned it in. |
I see. |
I doubt it. |
Now it makes sense, the whole neo Bohemian, down with hypocrisy, fight the power crap. You're a poor little rich girl. |
The ozone must be fully depleted on Planet Ted. |
You think my dad would have been like that if I knew him? You think he would have bought me a stadium, instead of teaching me how to play ball? |
Your dad taught you everything. |
I mean my father. |
A father is nothing but sperm, Ted. It takes a real man to be a dad. |
It's all so complicated. |
It's incredibly simple. |
I feel like I'm being drawn and quartered. Like every part of me is being pushed and pulled and tugged in a different direction. |
Eventually you'll let go. |
And then what? |
Then you'll see who's really holding on to you. |
You're amazing. |
I know. |
Even when you infuriate me, I still want to kiss you. |
But you never do. |
If we were a team, we could do anything. I mean, anything. |
Cut to the chase, William Randolph. Your audience is way ahead of you. |
In a word: MERK. EXPOSED. |
That's two words. And I'm out of the "exposed" business, remember? I need to graduate. Besides, Merk's a boy scout. |
There's gotta be something. We have to dig deeper. |
You forget, I dislike YOU at least as much as him. |
He shut down your paper! You're stuck writing articles about swap meets and raffles and PTA brunches! |
A good journalist can take lemons and make lemonade. I'm honing my craft. |
Then you won't mind covering that watermelon seed spitting contest next week... |
That's probably my office. |
Well? Where the hell are you? |
He's on the move? |
I got an anonymous tip and an address in Cincinnati. |
Let's do it. |
I don't know. This place seems pretty tame. |
You expected whips, chains, Merk being cattleprodded by some dominatrix in a leather hood? |
At least it's not another 4H meeting or a Big Brother barbecue. |
Amen to that. |
Look at us. It's one o'clock in the morning, on a school night. We're in a smoky nightclub, hoping to catch our principal with some big city tart. |
I'm trembling with excitement. |
That has more to do with your proximity to me. |
My desire betrays me, like goosebumps on my flesh. |
I have a bit of a goosebump fetish. Not many people know that. |
I figured you for more of a hairy armpit guy. |
Shoes, if you want to know the truth. Shoes are my thing. |
Wearing them? Or humping them? |
My fantasy is a totally naked woman, wearing nothing but a Timex and suede clogs. |
That's refreshingly deviant. |
What about you? |
I'm very aural. |
Tell me more. |
Sounds, voices, music, humming. All of it can turn me on, or off, like a switch. |
I see. |
I had a Portuguese boyfriend who could read the phone book and melt me. |
A Portuguese boyfriend. Sounds very "Cosmo." |
You live and learn. I realized the most important thing to me, above all, is trust. |
Turned out to be a scoundrel, eh? I saw that one coming. |
You lose trust in someone and it's over, done, gone, forever. |
Do you trust me, Julie? |
Not a chance. |
Come on. |
Trust is something you earn, over time. You don't just inherit it overnight like a gazillion dollar empire. |
I want you to trust me. |
Maybe someday. |
Julie, I'll tell you something that is the god's honest truth. I've seen a lot of really beautiful girls. I mean a lot. But none of them make me feel like you do. |
That's hard to believe. |
But absolutely true. |
