TEXT: In the journalism office (Ellie's writing her article on Craig when Jesse walks in.) Jesse: A day in the life of Craig Manning. Ouch. That's your title? Ellie: Encouraging as always, boss-man. (He kisses her forehead.) Jesse: Would have thought writing about Craig would have came easy to you. Ellie: Not this morning. Not after I found a baggie of coke on his bedroom floor. Jesse: Colour me not surprised. I had a feeling he was doing some rounds. Ellie: What? Hold on. Those drugs weren't Craig's. They belong to his girlfriend, Tweedle Dum. Jesse: Oh well me thinks Tweedle Dum has been sharing her stash with Tweedle Dee, I.E. Craig. Ellie: I.E. shut up. Craig does not do coke. Jesse: You know this for a fact? Ellie: No I don't, but what I do know is that I have to keep him away from Manny. Long enough to make him realize that she's a toxic influence. Jesse: I have a new job for you and for this one, you owe me. Taking Back Sunday are in town and guess who's interviewing them today? Ellie: Jesse you're the best! (She kisses him when Craig walks in.) Ellie: Hey Mr. Manning uh you're right on time. Ready for your big interview? Craig: Actually I don't know if I can right now. I got to go clean out Joey's garage. Ellie: Oh I'll come with. I can help. Jesse: Uh frosh you do have the Taking Back Sunday interview today and it's way more important than this whole Craig thing. Ellie: Both are important. Both will get done. Will not disappoint, promise. (She kisses Jesse and her and Craig leave.) In Joey's garage, Ellie is interviewing Craig <unk>!--[if!supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <unk>!--[endif]--> Ellie: So I've been listening to your demo
SUMMARY:
