INT. STUDIO - DAY
1. INT. STUDIO - DAY
Our late night host, BEN, is interviewing famous popstar
Nick, who is doing a press tour for his latest album.
BEN
Welcome back to the Nice Night
show. I'm your host Ben. Give a big
hand to our next guest, Nick!
NICK
I'm glad to be here.
BEN
Let's talk about your new album
that just came out.
NICK
(slightly confused)
Yeah, my new single.
BEN
(interrupting)
Yeah.
NICK
Yeah, I just released a single, The
End of Love. And I'm dropping my
new album-
BEN
(interrupting)
And you're also dropping a new
album soon, right?
NICK
... Yeah, my album Nick comes out
next month.
BEN
Fascinating.
NICK
... ... Yeah.
BEN
So your last album was well
received. How was it like, being
nominated for so many Grammys?
NICK
2.
NICK
Uh, I wasn't- What? I wasn't
nominated for any Grammys.
BEN
Right, yeah, I mean the AMA's.
NICK
(confused)
...No.
BEN
No. Right. Yeah. Let's move on.
BEN
Nikolaj Jensen. How did you come up
with your stagename?
NICK
Uh... Nick is short for Nikolaj.
BEN
Right, how did you come up with
that?
NICK
(confused)
What?
(beat, he waits for Ben's
reply but it never comes)
It's just, like, a nickname? It was
my nickname as a child.
BEN
Fascinating.
Awkward silence.
NICK
Uhh- Can we go back to talking
about my new album?
BEN
And your album is called...
NICK
Nick.
BEN
Nick.
NICK
Like my name, yeah. Nick.
BEN
Nick. Your name seems very
important to you, since you named
your album after it. What made you
decide to do that?
NICK
(confused, irritated)
Wh- It's my name. Isn't your name
important to you?
BEN
4.
BEN
Well yeah, but your real name is
Nikolaj.
CARDS
Your girlfriend doesn't speak to
you anymore.
Your dog doesn't speak to you
anymore.
You need to get out.
You need to get out.
You need to get out.
He looks up, straight into the camera. Nick's still going,
and light returns to normal.
NICK
Never have I ever been so
disrespected in an interview-
Before he can finish, Ben springs up.
BEN
I can't do this!
He throws his cue cards in the air and dashes away from the
set, leaving the studio as fast as he can. The Producer runs
after Ben.
