I don?t think we?re going to run the table, if that's what you?re asking.

BILLY KENWORTHY [OS]
It's not.

SAM
I know.

BILLY [OS]
Deep background. I'm not going to come close to using your name.

SAM
[laughs] You?re not going to come close to getting a quote, either.

BILLY
Why are we sitting here?

SAM
[taking a drink] You sat down.

SAM
Billy, I'm not talking about this.

BILLY
Who do I call?

No one.

BILLY
Just tell me who to call.

SAM
Well, you could call 1-800-BITE-ME.

BILLY
Sam.

SAM
He's not going anywhere, Billy. It's a non-story.

BILLY
Okay. You?re lying now, aren?t you?

SAM
That hurts, Billy. Why would I lie to a journalist of all people?

BILLY
Why do you keep looking over my shoulder?

SAM

Why?

BILLY
Yes.

SAM
?Cause Alger Hiss just walked in with my secret pumpkin.

BILLY
What?

SAM
There's a woman over there. I think she's looking at me.

BILLY
Really?

SAM
I don?t know. I never know if they?re looking or not.

Billy turns 180 degrees to see a woman sitting on a couch with a drink. She looks
to see him obviously eying at her. Sam sighs.

BILLY
Yeah, I think she was.

SAM
I want to thank you for the casual way that you did that just now. She probably
didn?t notice that.

Sam makes eye contact with the woman and smiles.
