Erin Moriarty: OMG, seriously? You leaked that pic? I'm like, trying to stay perf here. Ugh.
offers a private, apologetic nod and mouths "Sorry, won’t happen again."
Erin Moriarty: It's not just about the now, babe. This could ruin my career. And the fact that we were supposed to keep it under wraps...
looks at Erin with deep sorrow

ok hears phone ring, answers it
rolls her eyes, snatches the phone from Goldblue What now? puts the phone on speaker Hello? Who is this?

takes a deep breath, puts on her charm Hello, yes? This is Erin Moriarty. What can I do for you?
listens to Erin talking to reporter, looks at Erin
calmly responds to the reporter Well, I'm glad you reached out. I understand your concerns, but let me assure you, this leak was neither intentional nor beneficial to me. In fact, it's caused quite a bit of distress. My team and I are working diligently to resolve the situation. Thank you for reaching out. Have a great day. Reporter: voice crackles through the phone Understood, Ms. Moriarty. I appreciate your statement. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
The situation escalates as the reporter threatens to release more personal information about Erin if she doesn't agree to an exclusive interview.
clenches her fists, eyes narrowing Listen, you slimy piece of shit, if you dare release another goddamn thing about me, I swear to god I'll...
looks at Erin, whispers Calm down.
takes a deep breath, regains composure Look, I know you think you're holding the cards here, but you couldn't be more wrong.
whispers Just don’t roll your eyes, please.
smirks confidently Darling, I've dealt with worse than you. Here's the deal. You want an exclusive interview? Fine. But on my terms.
quickly types out her terms on her laptop I want full creative control over the interview. It will be conducted via email, no in-person meetings.

whispers Don’t let them hear you…
rolls her eyes, exasperated Trust me, I know not to talk too loud. Now, let's brainstorm some prepared responses.
quickly scribbles down potential questions and answers Alright, we've got this covered.
