(STEVIE STEELE enters)

STEELE
Hello! Stevie Steele- Channel Five News. Got a release from Madalyn Shapiro? Benny Rosen?

BENNY
I‘m afraid he passed away.

STEELE
I‘m so sorry.

BENNY
Benny Rosen, Junior is here.

STEELE
Ah!

BENNY
Come in!

STEELE
The legend himself. Madalyn said you were working with Kelly Rabin? (Sees her) There she is!

KELLY
Hi.

STEELE
You know the drill. Few questions. Ready? People wonder what it must be like. Fourteen--center of
so much controversy…

ALYSON
Great.
HERE WE GO AGAIN.
I DON‘T KNOW WHY THIS BOTHERS ME-
IT‘S STUPID TO FEEL THREATENED BY A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD KID.
THERE‘S NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF, IF I WEREN‘T SUCH A BABY
I COULD STAY ON TOP AND HANDLE THIS, NO MATTER WHAT SHE DID.
