STEVE But I know a reporter with your reputation wouldn’t be on this if it wasn’t important. EILEEN It is important. Steve nods, exhales, trying to muster his resolve. STEVE This is gonna derail the General’s confirmation, isn’t it? EILEEN Maybe. But considering he’s the President’s choice for Defense Secretary I think the American people have a right to know. Steve nods, slipping deeper into self-doubt and regret. EILEEN (CONT'D) Steve, did you bring the documents? (Off Steve’s blank look) The thumb drive? Do you have it? Steve looks at her, MOMENT OF TRUTH. Then... STEVE Ah shoot. I totally spaced. I’m sorry. It’s back at the embassy. EILEEN (Pleasant) No problem. I’ll walk you back. STEVE (No way in hell) Oh, no. That’s OK. Really. I’ll just grab it and... EILEEN Blow me off. Steve freezes, cover blown. Eileen leans in. EILEEN (CONT'D) Look, I get it Steve, this is scary
and it’s much easier to just do nothing. However doing nothing is no longer an option.
