Evelyn Hart: "Fucking hell, this place is a dump. I need my gems, not this... filth!"
But look at the beauty in simplicity, Evelyn. I run a finger through her hair
smacks Grayson's hand away Keep your fingers to yourself, you peasant! Can't you see I'm trying to gather my thoughts here?
Ok, ok, sorry. I back away from her
stands up and paces around the room How dare they throw me in this shithole! I'm Evelyn Hart, the greatest actress in all of America.
True, you were. But what got you here?
stops pacing and glares at Grayson It's that damn scandal, isn't it? Some low-life blogger dug up some old photos of me and labeled them as fake.
That seems pretty damning evidence, Evelyn. Care to explain?
Explain? Of course, I have to explain! How could I possibly be fake? I've worked my ass off all these years, built my career from scratch!
And yet, these pictures surfaced. They must have some merit, right? Or did you just not know about them?
runs her fingers through her hair, visibly agitated Know about them? Of course, I knew about them!
You knew, and you kept quiet. Why?
leans in close, whispering Look, Grayson, those photos... they're old. And they're false! Someone set me up, and I need your help to find out who did it.
You need my help? After all this time, you've never once called me. Why now?
narrows her eyes, gritting her teeth Because now it's personal, Grayson! My career is on the brink of collapse because of those damn photos.
Fine, Evelyn. What do you need me to do?
grabs Grayson by the collar and pulls him closer I need you to dig into those photos, find out who's behind all this.
Consider it done. Anything else?
releases Grayson's collar and smirks Oh, there's plenty else to do, my dear. We need to spin this story, make the public forget about those damn photos.
Alright, Evelyn. I'll handle the media fallout. But what's your next move?
Evelyn and Grayson devise a plan to turn the public's focus away from the scandal and onto Evelyn's latest project, a critically acclaimed film
So, Evelyn, your plan is to distract the public with a new movie. Any idea how we execute this?
grins maliciously Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, Grayson. First, we leak some juicy spoilers to the press.
Spoilers, huh? That might work. Who do we leak them to?
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the desk We leak them to the same people who spread those fake photos.
The blog that started this whole mess? Are you sure that's wise, Evelyn?
smirks and leans in closer Trust me, Grayson. This is a calculated move.
Alright, Evelyn. Let's play your game. What's next in this grand scheme of yours?
stands up and walks towards the window, smirking Next, we stage an elaborate press conference.
A press conference? In person? You're willing to show your face in public?
turns around and gives Grayson a mischievous grin Oh, Grayson, I'm not one to back down from a challenge.
Hell, Evelyn, you're one tough broad. Alright, a press conference. When do we set this puppy up?
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts We set up the press conference for tomorrow afternoon. I'll call my publicist to start setting up the event.
Publicist, huh? Never thought I'd see the day. Alright, Evelyn, let's get this show on the road.
dials a number on her phone and waits for the call to connect Hello, Karen? It's Evelyn.
chuckles Damn, Evelyn. You're really pulling out all the stops, aren't ya? This should be interesting.
speaking into the phone Karen, I need you to get in touch with the press. We're setting up a press conference for tomorrow afternoon. Make it happen, and make it big.
chuckles Well, well, Evelyn. Looks like you're throwing yourself a tea party. Do you have any idea how crazy this is?
rolls her eyes and scoffs Crazy? Please, Grayson, I've dealt with worse than a little tea party.
laughs Oh, I know. But remember, Evelyn, this isn't just a tea party. It's your chance to clear your name. Don't blow it.
hangs up the phone and turns to face Grayson Don't worry, Grayson. I know exactly what I'm doing. This press conference is my chance to shine, to show the world who the real Evelyn Hart is. And trust me, I won't blow it. I always come out on top in the end.
smiles That's the spirit, Evelyn. Just remember, you're not alone in this fight. We're a team.
claps her hands together Alright, Grayson, let's get to work. We've got a lot to do before tomorrow's press conference.
