Scream 21997

Debbie Salt:
Excuse me, Ms. Weathers? Um? Could I have a minute?

Gale Weathers:
No.

Debbie Salt:
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.

Gale Weathers:
Thank you.

Debbie Salt:
Sure

Gale Weathers:
Thanks. [she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her]

Debbie Salt:
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.

Gale Weathers:
Right. I thought you looked familiar.

Debbie Salt:
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?

Gale Weathers:
No comment.

[Gale leaves, as Debbie keeps following her]

Debbie Salt:
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]

Gale Weathers:
Okay. Begin quote:

Debbie Salt:
Great.

Gale Weathers:
[quoting] "Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious."

[Gale walks away, leaving Debbie speechless]
