HARRIET
I was interning for the Post.
BENNY
Witnessed my little temper tantrum, huh?
HARRIET
"Broadway star blasts Hollywood." My first published photos. Got a release said Kelly Rabin‘d be here?
(Benny beckons her over)
KELLY
Hello. (Shake hands)
HARRIET
Hi, Kelly. Few pictures?
KELLY
Sure.
HARRIET
(To Benny) Also, just need a quick soundbite. Something to go with the photos.
KELLY
(Ultra-sincere, innocent) Um….I‘m very happy to finally have a normal childhood again. (Ultra innocent)
Like mom says: every kid needs some time just to be a kid, y'know? (Benny coughs) And I wanna say… I
don‘t know what I woulda‘ done without this place. It‘s practically where I grew up.
HARRIET
That true?
KELLY
You betcha! I mean, this isn‘t just where I got my start. It‘s where I figured out who I really am. Inside.
Y'know?
ALYSON
(Half-aside) Oh my God.
