13 Going on 30 Page #2

Synopsis: After total humiliation at her thirteenth birthday party, Jenna Rink wants to just hide until she's thirty. Thanks to some wishing dust, Jenna's prayer has been answered. With a knockout body, a dream apartment, a fabulous wardrobe, an athlete boyfriend, a dream job, and superstar friends, this can't be a better life. Unfortunately, Jenna realizes that this is not what she wanted. The only one that she needs is her childhood best friend, Matt, a boy that she thought destroyed her party. But when she finds him, he's a grown up, and not the same person that she knew.

-Stop!

-Wait. I don't wanna get out of the--

I don't think you're Iistening.

Wait, hang on.

Wait, Iisten to me. I'm 1 3.

If you're gonna start Iying about

your age, I'd go with 2 7.

Wait! I know it sounds strange,

but some weird dream is-- Like that!

Do you hear it? Did you hear that?

WouId you stop being ridicuIous?

It's probabIy just Richard.

-Who's Richard?

-You drink too much.

Richard, your boss.

Brown, curIy hair. British. Richard.

-HeIIo?

-Hey, sweet bottom.

You. You. Put on your pants

and stop caIIing me ''sweet bottom.''

-Look, baby--

-And get out of my house!

Who is that?

I don't know his name.

I don't know what's happening.

Okay, Jenna. Jenna.

Just caIm down, okay?

We have a meeting in 1 0 minutes.

I'II teII you what to do. Repeat after me:

I am Jenna Rink,

bigtime magazine editor.

-I am?

-Repeat it.

I am Jenna Rink,

bigtime magazine editor.

I'm a tough b*tch.

-Say it.

-I am a tough b*tch.

I'm gonna waIk into that office,

I won't Iet anyone know I'm hung-over.

But that's not the point.

I'm not hung-over--

I'm gonna waIk into that office

and not Iet anyone know I'm hung-over.

Because the future of Poise

depends on me.

Poise?

Oh, jeez.

Poise magazine. Thank you.

Good morning, Miss Rink,

Miss Wyman.

-Good morning. What's her name?

-Who cares?

Jenna. PIease don't yeII at me,

it's not my fauIt.

They need a decision right now.

-Just pick one.

-That one.

Love. Knew it. Genius.

Eminem's on the phone.

He wants a decision now.

PIain.

Peanut. PIain.

There's the dynamic duo! I trust my

executive editors are Iate again...

...because they were out

promoting us at parties.

-You got it, Richard.

-Richard. You're my boss.

That's right, baby.

Who's your daddy?

Wayne Rink.

Morning.

Two words:
summer, Saint Barts.

Oh, you're not gonna go

to Fire IsIand this summer?

-Are you insinuating I'm gay?

-It's a joke.

Is there anything eIse you

need from me, Miss Rink?

You mean Iike a favor?

Sure. Like a favor.

-I need to find this guy in New Jersey.

-Okay.

I have his number.

-ArIene, wiII you Ieave us, pIease?

-Sorry.

Jenna's a IittIe hung-over today.

Rough.

Okay, chiIdren.

I wonder which one

HoIIy Housewife is going to go for.

The 1 0th or the 1 1 th secret?

Seven months in a row now

they scoop us.

I mean, it's Iike they've got

Sparkle-cams hidden in aII our waIIs.

Richard, we're instaIIing passwords.

We're buiIding firewaIIs

on aII the computers.

-Jenna fired CharIotte yesterday.

-Did you?

I guarantee she has friends

at Sparkle. She aIways took notes.

-She was a secretary.

-Yeah, whatever.

Our party tonight is now huge.

We need to make

an unequivocaI statement...

...that Poise is stiII hot

and happening.

Now, we need a newsstand

circ anaIysis done immediateIy.

I aIso strongIy suggest we take apart

our F.O.B., overhauI the B.O.B...

...think about new heads, decks

and sIugs. Jenna, what do you think?

Can I go to the bathroom?

It's the naked guy.

''Jenna, girI, margaritas anytime.

Love you, Madonna.''

I'm friends with Madonna?

Here are your messages.

And your mother caIIed

from Barbados.

My mom caIIed?

I wish you'd toId me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Rink.

I thought you said never

to bother you with famiIy caIIs.

-I did? I said that?

-PIease don't fire me.

No, no, I won't. It's not your fauIt.

I forgot that I said that.

Next time my mom caIIs,

Iet me know.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, I have that information

that you asked for.

Matt!

The phone number

you gave me was his parents'.

I toId them that I worked for Visa
