Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here... Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!
Dean: OK. I give up. What?

Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...
Dean: How does she know about...
Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.
Dean: Newsline ?
Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?
Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you. Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea!
Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!

Dean: Big deal.
Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended! Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.
Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters?
Dean: Byron Walters?
Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who's going to make me a star!!

Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.
Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.
Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?
Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on.
Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?
Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.
Tony: You probably just pressed "play".
Talia: This is a disaster.
Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way.
Amy: Poor Talia.
Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?

Script 1
Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.
Talia: Didn’t you get my message?
Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?
Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...
Nick: What are you talking about?
Talia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie and Dean’s conversation.
Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.
Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.
Nick: Oh, no!
Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence!
Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.
Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.
Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourself
Talia: Well, I’m supposed to be a professional! And I want to be a reporter!
Script 2
Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.
Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.
Talia: You’re right. What’s done is done. Orin this case, what’s not done is done.
Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.
Talia: How can you stay so positive?
Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.
Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.
Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.
Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. A nd the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.
Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?
Talia: No, I don’t think so.
Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.
Unit 10
Script 1
Talia: So, what are you going to do now?
Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow. Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?
Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough Talia: Who is that?
Jackie: Surprise!
Talia: You?
Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.

how easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello, Nick! Remember me?

Talia: What are you doing here?
Jackie: Do you have a video camera?
Talia: Yes.

Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...
Talia: Kicks.
Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.
Talia: And then?
Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement
Talia: And did he?
Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.
Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?
Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.
Talia: I see.
Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.

Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.
Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?
Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.
Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that.
Dean: That lying…
Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.
Dean: This is crazy!
