[Kevin Nauta]

Lynda:  This place is
your last chance, Thomson.
Spike:  Yeah. Right.
 
He opens the door again, and she slams it shut. 
 
Lynda:  Which means…
One phone call from me to Sullivan saying you're not pulling your weight and
you are out, with a capital everything. And I don't just mean out of the
Gazette, Thomson. I mean out of the school. You don't turn up tonight, I make
that phone call.
Spike:  Make your
phone call! I won’t be here!
Kenny:  Hey, Spike,
come on. This is -
Lynda:  Kenny, get me
Sullivan’s home phone number. 
Sarah.  Lynda, come
on!
Kenny:  Look, you two,
let's just leave it -
Spike:  Shut up,
Kenny. You're spoiling her fun.
Kenny:  Why don't we
just leave it -
Lynda:  Shut up, Kenny
- you're spoiling my fun!
Sarah:  Lynda, this is
stupid!
Lynda:  Kenny,
Sullivan's home phone number, now!
Kenny:  Right, okay!
This is so stupid!
Lynda:  Jeff, the
phone! 
 
Jeff brings the phone over to her. 
 
Lynda:  You still
here? 
Spike:  You kidding? I
wouldn't miss this! This is the first time I've seen you really enjoying
yourself!
Lynda:  Keep watching!
Sarah:  Lynda, is this
about yesterday?
Lynda:  It's got
nothing to do with yesterday!
Kenny:  Yesterday?
Lynda:  Look, could
everyone just stop going on about yesterday, okay? Is this the number?
Kenny:  Yeah.
Lynda:  Good. Tell me
one more time, Spike. Tell me you're not coming in tonight so I can phone right
now and *really* enjoy it. Come on, Spike. Make my day.
Sarah:  Spike, no!
 
He grabs a pile of papers and throws them at Lynda. 
 
Kenny:  Lynda, this is
getting right out of hand!
Sarah:  (to Spike)
Look, just tell her you're coming. What's one evening, what's five hours?
Lynda:  I'm dialing,
Spike.
Spike:  She's dialing,
Sarah.
Sarah:  She's in kind
of a funny mood at the moment. Did you hear about yesterday?
Spike:  Yeah, sure.
Wasn't that yesterday?
Lynda:  (into the
phone) Mr. Sullivan? Ah, this is Lynda. Could you wait just one moment? (to
Spike) Goodbye. Send us a postcard. Wish you were there already.
 
He walks out of the newsroom. Sarah looks at Lynda for a
moment before following Spike.
 
Lynda:  Kenny?
Kenny:  Yeah?
Lynda:  Why have I
just phoned the weather forecast?
