STANLEY Your source was bad but so was the General. You were right. EILEEN And you flew 3,000 miles to commiserate with me. A little refresher, Stanley, you hung me out to dry too. Twelve years ago. The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Remember? STANLEY Yeah. I do. I screwed up. EILEEN You did! But here you stand. To that end, out with it, Stanley. Why are you here? STANLEY I’m here to offer you a job. EILEEN EILEEN (CONT'D) I’m not that desperate, Stanley. STANLEY You’re living in the Florida Keys! EILEEN At least it’s warm. STANLEY You don’t care about warm! You care about what’s right and wrong. EILEEN I don’t! I don’t give a crap about right and wrong anymore! I’m out! STANLY You can’t be out. You’re too good! EILEEN (Angry) I’m too good?! Really? Didn’t you read the news, Stanley? Hashtag, my time’s up. I’m a hack, a Karen, a racist, a misogynist, an elitist, and every other ‘ist’ you can name.

STANLEY (CONT'D) One year contract. General Assignment. No strings.

(Shaking her head) Jesus...
