In front of her, BOBBY (27) the camera operator, an unshaven guy in a red jacket stands with the camera on and strap around his shoulder.
BOBBY
Smile. Exude happiness. Be positive.
Julia smiles.
JULIA SHWEETNER
I don’t pretend to be happy Bobby, I am happy.
Julia smiles timidly and her eyes sparkle. She looks to her watch.
JULIA SHWEETNER
Okay, let’s get this show on the road. Out the text up.
Bobby lifts a sheet of paper for her to read off of, and holds it near the camera.
JULIA SHWEETNER
The new MALL OF AMERICA will be opening tonight; and it will be noted as the architectural decision of the decade. The lights, and streaming water fixtures are very beautiful and unusual to the typically mundane environment of our city – this hi-tech shopping centre certainly brings a work of art to our landscape. All profits earned from the first couple of days within the mall’s opening will go to charities for sick children.
Bobby gives her a thumbs-up.
JULIA SHWEETNER
As organizers speak, there will be no problems with parking at the opening, and many have been signed on to VIP-parking. Mall attractions include the “Big wheel” and a Falling Tower. An attraction called “The Web stealing a brain”, amongst others. There will also be a 5D cinema and skating rink.
Julia lowers her microphone.
BOBBY
Looks good Julia!
Bobby lowers the camera.
JULIA SHWEETNER
Was it really?
BOBBY
Perfect.
Julia smiles.
JULIA SHWEETNER
Don’t flatter me. I want honesty, I’m still new to this you know.
BOBBY
I told you – it’s perfect. We needed to edit the opening though.
JULIA SHWEETNER
How long till the final product?
BOBBY
(looks to his watch)
About two hours.
JULIA SHWEETNER
Let’s grab a coffee then.
BOBBY
Sounds good. I could use something hot myself.
Julia’s cell phone rings. She flips it open and sees the name “Christian” and smiles. She answers the call.
JULIA SHWETNER
Yes, darling?
INT. INSURANCE COMPANY – OFFICE – DAY
CHRISTIAN (27) sits at a big black table – a strong, attractive type in a blue shirt and with a tie. He holds his cell in one hand, and types on his laptop with the other.
CHRISTIAN
Julia? Greetings darling.
(smiling)
I do disturbing you?
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
No, I just finished my set.
CHRISTIAN
I’ve missed you, and your voice. Are you at work?
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
We’re reporting on the Mall of America now, and I have a class tonight that will probably go till late. I’m so sorry.
CHRISTIAN
Call me when you’re done, I would love to pick you up. My beautiful lady shouldn’t have to travel home alone at night.
Christian takes a swig of his juice sitting on the table.
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
Oh, Christian, you’re amazing. What would I do without you?
CHRISTIAN
You know, our anniversary of when we first met is coming up – January 14th. There’s a great little Italian place I’d love to take you to; romantic music, good food.
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
Oh, Christian! Of course I would love to go!
CHRISTIAN
Perfect. See you soon.
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
Kisses.
CHRISTIAN
You too! Bye.
JULIA SHWEETNER (O.S)
Bye-bye.
EXT. MALL OF AMERICA – DAY
Julia hangs up and put her hair up.
BOBBY
Well, looks like he calls you everyday.
Julia looks to him with confusion.
JULIA SHWEETNER
It’s love Bobby.
BOBBY
If I were the boss of an insurance company, you would fall in love with me?
JULIA SHWEETNER
(laughing)
Bobby, you’ll always come first. You’re my best friend. Now let’s grab that coffee.
BOBBY
Ok.
