Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers
Scene: Craig's Suite

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, CRAIG MONTGOMERY

>> Simon: Yup, that Dahlia is just too good to be true!
>> Katie: Simon, you're going to totally dismiss her because she made one mistake? There are bound to be mistakes, Simon. It's all part of the creative process. Have you seen the list of shots I wrote up for the photographer? It's completely vanished.
>> Simon: Just like Dahlia's credit rating.
>> Katie: If you're not going to help --
>> Simon: Don't you think it's strange she just swooped in out of nowhere claiming to make you a star?
>> Katie: You swooped into town from nowhere too, Simon. Did that make you a con?
>> Simon: Yeah!
>> Katie: Oh. Whatever.
>> Simon: Have you seen any real money to back this venture up?
>> Katie: The money's on "the back end," Simon. All the professionals know that.
>> Simon: And even know the name of her production company?
>> Katie: Why?
>> Simon: Because credit listings are alphabetical. Yeah. I'll just check it out to make sure she's got some kind of bond to make sure that you get paid.
>> Katie: Why are you really doing this?
>> Simon: Because you won't ask the hard questions, Katie! I'm looking out for you.
>> Katie: Really?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: Or maybe you think I'm dumb, have two left feet and a total inability to read the small print.
>> Simon: No, Katie, it's not you I don't trust --
>> Katie: But since I trust Dahlia, she can't be what she seems. This is my video, so it can't possibly be a success. Thanks a lot!
>> Simon: You've been trying to get me to watch out for you since I've known you, Katie. Now, when I actually want to --
>> Katie: I don't need you to look out for me. I want you to believe in me.
>> Simon: Look, I
>> Craig: Where's she going?
>> Simon: Away from me, apparently.
>> Craig: Smooth. Real smooth.
>> Simon: Better for her to be mad at me for a little while than by some con. Right?
>> Craig: Whatever gets you through the night, Simon.
>> Simon: Nice picture.

Scene 2:
Scene: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, PHOTOGRAPHER

>> Photographer: Come on, Katie. You love these guys! All America loves these guys. Let's see a little hero worship here!
>> Simon: You want to talk about worship? Just look at this woman. This beautiful woman. Stunning woman. They should be worshiping her. She's a star, and don't you forget it. I never do.
>> Photographer: That's it! This is it! This is what we wanted!
>> Katie: You're here.
>> Simon: How could I stay away?
>> Katie: Simon, I am so sorry I didn't listen to you. What do I really know about Dahlia? Maybe you should investigate her after all.
>> Simon: Katie -- my sweet. I already have.

Scene 3:
Scene: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA, PHOTOGRAPHER, FIREMEN

>> Katie: The production company, plenty of coverage.
>> Simon: But that doesn't mean she's got enough to cover what you're worth. There's no amount of money in the world that can do that.
>> Katie: Oh, really?
>> Simon: I'm sorry I upset you.
>> Katie: I didn't --
>> Simon: Katie, you are the most important person in the world to me. I'm looking out for you because I love you.
>> Katie: I know that, and I want to you look out for me. When I said I didn't, I was upset. But I think we should look out for each other. That's what this is.
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: You're the best man I know. These guys are heroes, definitely, but they don't hold a candle to you. Hey! You want to be in my video.
>> Simon: Yeah, sure. I only will if you supply a whip!
>> Dahlia: Everything okay?
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: Okay. Yeah. I'll be over here.
>> Katie: He supports me. He really, really supports me.
>> Dahlia: That's wonderful. Get back up there and smile for the camera so we can make you rich!
>> Photographer: Okay. All right, boys. Let's do it!
>> All: Hey, all right! Whew!
