1. REX’S OFFICE AT MANHATTAN MONTHLY

 

REX and PERRY are looking at the morning paper when BOBBY walks in.

 

                   BOBBY

          Hey guys, what’s up?

 

                   REX

          We were just discussing the scandal at Channel 6.

 

                   BOBBY

          What scandal?

 

                   PERRY

Rex’s college buddy, Sam, the station manager was apparently involved in some sexscapade with a sixteen year old.

 

          BOBBY

Sam Zegas?  Are you kidding me?

 

          REX

Nope.  I don’t even know what to think.  I tried to call Sam but his voice mail was full.

 

          BOBBY

I knew what guy was a creep from day one.

 

          PERRY

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember you telling us that you thought Sam had a thing for your girlfriend.

 

          BOBBY

I know did.  And probably still does.

 

          REX

Sam was really close to Mack and me when we were in college.  But his life has been a mystery to me for quite some time.

 

          BOBBY

I wonder if Stacey knows about this.

 

          REX

If she’s anywhere near Channel 6 today, I’m sure she does.

 

 

2. SAM’S OFFICE AT CHANNEL 6

 

SAM is sitting at his desk when STACEY rushes in.

 

                   STACEY

Sam, I’m sorry I’m late.  My mother insisted on me having breakfast at home today. 

 

SAM

              (totally out of it)

Not a problem.

 

          STACEY

Is something the matter?  You look like your dog just died?

 

          SAM

You honestly don’t know?

 

          STACEY

No.  Tell me.

 

          SAM

Read it and weep.

 

Sam hands Stacey his copy of the morning paper.

 

          STACEY

     (reading)

“Channel 6 Sex Scandal.  Station manager, Sam Zegas (zay-gus) involved in kinky sex with minor.”  Oh my God.  Sam, is this true?

 

          SAM

For the most part, yes.

 

          STACEY

I’m not sure what to say.

 

          SAM

Just let me say that the girl in this story told me she was older.  I had no idea she was under eighteen.  I wouldn’t do that.

 

          STACEY

“Sam Zegas, station manager at Channel 6, lured the young sixteen year old girl to his apartment where he has a secret sex room set up.”

 

          SAM

Stacey, sometimes people have secrets, dark secrets that they don’t want anyone to know about.

 

          STACEY

I’m confused.  A sex room?

 

          SAM

I have a problem.  A very serious problem and I’ve been getting help for it.

 

          STACEY

What kind of problem?

 

          SAM

I’m a….  a….  a sex addict.

 

Just then Mack bursts into the office.

 

          MACK

A sex addict?  Sam?  Who the hell are you?

 

          SAM

Mack, I was just in the middle of explaining things to Stacey.  Can we talk in a bit?

 

          MACK

I’m not sure we can.  What is going on with you?  I just received a phone call from your Dad?  He tried calling you at work and on your cell but both voice mails are full.  I didn’t know what to say to him.

 

          SAM

I just can’t deal with my parents right now.

 

          MACK

You’re front page news today, Sam.  You’re going to deal with a lot more than your parents.  You know how this town works.  This story isn’t going to go away.
