BETH
I’ll take that as a pass. There’s a
thriller set in New Orleans about a
rogue detective...
TIM
Please no! Not another rogue
detective. (beat) Listen, I’ve been
thinking. I feel like I need a new
challenge. Something different and
unexpected. I want to do a comedy!
BETH
A comedy?
TIM
Yes, I want to make people happy,
you know, make them smile and feel
more positive about their lives. I
feel I have a duty make the world a
better place.
DAVID, Beth’s PA, winces at his arrogance.
BETH
Comedy? But you don’t do comedy...
TIM
Exactly! It’s time I reinvented GORGEOUS
myself. Shake things up a bit!
Expand my portfolio. Add another
string to my bow!
BETH
(far from convinced)
Well. OK. I’ll look into
it. Now,
run Tim
Arrabella, why don’t you
through his week ahead.
TIM
What have you got for me
Arrabella?
Don’t hold back!
ARRABELLA
Well, you’ve got a busy week.
TIM
That’s how I like it. Life in the
fast lane...
ARRABELLA
There’s a raft of Press Junkets for
the release of ‘The Survivor’.
