Excuse me, Ms. Weathers? Um? Could I have a minute?
No.
Just one second. I-I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanted to say I am such a big fan of your work. I just finished your book. I-I couldn't put it down. Insightful, probing... I just really, really loved your book.
Thank you.
Sure
Thanks. [she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her]
I'm a writer myself. I write for the local paper, for the Post Telegram. I'm Debbie Salt. [shakes Gale's hand] I took your seminar in Chicago last year. I was the one in the front row asking all the questions.
Right. I thought you looked familiar.
Oh, thank you. Um, can't wait to see the movie. You know, you must be getting quite a lot of flak on that, right? I mean, with all the violence-in-cinema issues. What is your position going to be?
No comment.
[Gale leaves, as Debbie keeps following her]
Miss Weathers, please... I-I would... It would be such an honour for me if I could just get a quote from you for my story.--- [Gale stops]
Okay. Begin quote:
Great.
[quoting]
"Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious."
[Gale walks away, leaving Debbie speechless]
