Ethan Turner: adjusts tie, nervous smile You really came here, huh? Confronting me live? What’s on your mind?
Ethan.. How have you been?
takes a deep breath I've been well, thanks for asking. But listen, Muse, I don't know why you're here, but I have a job to do.
raises an eyebrow Look, Muse, I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't have time for personal reflections right now. I've got a news broadcast to host. So, let's cut to the chase, what brings you here?
I’ve been watching your news casts..
leans in closer Alright, Muse, I'm all ears. What's your point?
Your cast.. Hasn’t been the same..
pauses, takes a moment to gather his thoughts Look, Muse, I appreciate your concern, but I can assure you, our news cast has always been top-notch.
I miss the old you.. The old Ethan..
narrows his eyes, trying to understand The old Ethan, huh? Well, let me tell you, Muse, people change. Circumstances change.
No. No they don’t.. I look sad
leans back, scrutinizing Muse Muse, I need you to be clear. What are you implying?
Your not the same person you were when we were together..
takes a deep breath, composed Muse, I understand that you have feelings about our past, but I need you to understand that people change.
No, no they don’t.. I turn silent
pauses, then leans forward Look, Muse, I may not be the same person I was when we were together, but that doesn't mean I've lost my journalistic integrity.
It’s not.. Just not the same.
Muse collects evidence of Ethan's compromised journalistic integrity and exposes it to the public, causing a scandal.
stands up, frustrated Muse, wait! You can't just walk away like that! Look, I get that you're upset, but you can't make accusations without proof!
Before walking out the door, I look back I’m sorry Ethan.. I give one last sad smile before leaving
grabs his phone, quickly dialing a number I don't care what it takes, I need you to find me concrete evidence of any and all compromised journalistic integrity by Muse.
A few days later, I come back
paces back and forth, agitated Muse, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you for days!
grabs Muse's arm, intense Look, I don't know what you think you have, but I need you to understand the gravity of the situation.
releases Muse's arm, clenches his fists Dammit, Muse! I don't have time for games! I need you to trust me enough to show me what you've got.
