The Interview Page #2
I don't think I'll ever be ready, but....
Oh, wig's coming off.
Oh, Jesus f***.
Why does he keep the long pieces?
His head looks like somebody's taint.
- You barely look different.
- Thanks, man.
You said you were bald.
- So freeing!
- Rob.
Is there anything that you would like
to say to America?
Good evening. I'm Phillip Sterling
with a UBS News special report.
Kim Jong-uns military forces...
...targeted an uninhabited
South Pacino island...
...with a 15-megaton
thermonuclear ICBM.
We're not live anymore.
- They cut our feed,
- Off the air?!
Goddamn it!
Rob, put your f***ing wig on.
They f***ed us. Goddamn it!
What's going on?
Dude, seriously, what is up with you?
Know how I'm good
at picking up energies?
You're shooting off a slightly cunty vibe
right now. What's going on?
We have millions of viewers every night
and what do we do?
We just shovel sh*t into their faces.
We could be doing something positive.
We could be having on authors,
activists, politicians.
That's what people want.
"Give us some sh*t. Mangia.
We're the people, give us the sh*t.
Mangfa, mangia. "
I wanted to cover actual news...
...not Nicki Minaj's vagina
flopping out at the Grammys.
- You don't like brown sugar?
- Nothing to do with that.
I can't keep doing this, okay?
We have to change!
Fine.
- Yeah.
- Do you promise you'll do this?
- If you promise you'll never leave.
- If you promise, I promise.
- Same time.
- One, two, three. Promise.
- Promise.
- Okay.
- Okay. That's all we had to say.
- Don't put me through that,
- Fine. Okay.
I hate it when we fight.
No, this is not a joke, okay?
- I think you're being condescending.
- Look, look, look.
One sec.
Shut up, I'm on the phone, okay?
Dude. The f***, man'?!
That was John Kerry's office.
Forget that oak tree-looking f***.
This tops it.
The Times printed it about North Korea.
Read the bottom.
After all the death-camp sh*t.
"Although Kim Jong-un
rallies his people...
...with cries for the destruction
of the United States of America...
...he is known to be an avid consumer
of American entertainment.
His favorite shows
are The Big Bang Theory..."
Arld...?
"...and Skylark Tonight."
This is great!
This is what you were talking about!
I interview this guy.
Are you joking? He's the most
reclusive leader on the planet.
We carft go there.
Dave Skylark."
...gets in anywhere.
Do you remember that club?
Three-month waiting list. First night.
I don't think
it's quite the same thing.
- There were a lot of Asian girls there.
- it's impossible, Dave.
Here's what we'll do.
We're gonna do that interview.
Everyone is gonna take you
super-duper seriously.
- And then you're never gonna leave me.
- North Korea's in the Olympics, right?
I bet they have an office to communicate
with the Olympic Committee...
...so there's probably some infrastructure
for communicating through that.
- If I leave a message for that office...
...then maybe, if they're a fan,
that can actually work.
We could interview
the most famous man on the planet.
Guys, some pictures just came out...
...where it looks like
McConaughey's f***ing a goat.
- McConaughey goat f***?
- McConaughey goat f***.
We obviously have to have him on
to do that.
So put that together.
But we're doing this North Korea thing.
- Book him!
- Get him! Get the goat!
- On him.
Get the goat!
I got some questions for that goat.
This is Aaron Rapapon
from Skylark Tonight.
is a fan of our show...
...and wed love to have him on.
Please get back to me.
I'm about to head into a meeting,
but H! be around in the momfng.
Hope to hear from you.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hey.

- Mercer and Spring, please.
Hello?
Hello? Who this?
- I am trying to reach Aaron Rapaport.
- You got Aaron Rapaport. Who this is?
You left word with our ofiice
regarding an interview.
Look, Dave, is this you?
Because if it is,
you're doing a terrible Asian accent.
Me so sorry. Me gots to go now, son
lam from the Ofl7C6

...Secretary of Communications for the
Democratic Peop/els Republic of Korea.
Oh, my God.
Sh*t. Me so sorry.

I mean, I'm so sorr-
I'm so- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
We would like to discuss a meeting...
...between the Supreme Leader
and Dave Skylark.
Security concerns dictate
the matter be discussed in person.
Okay, great. Where do you do that?
We will meet at latitude 40.1326.
Longitude 123.9889
I'm not totally familiar
with my Iongitudes and latitudes.
Where is that again?
Fifty kilometers west of Dandong,
nonheastern China.
Did you just say "China"?
And did you just say "dong"?
I'm going to motherfucking China, y'all.
Excuse me. Can I get in there?
Thank you.
Hi there.
No, thank you. I'll just get it
through secondhand smoke.
Selfie.
Where the f*** are they?
What the f***...?
No, no!
I'm not-! No!
I'm an American journalist.
Aaron Rapaport.
I was invited here.
Please don't kill me!
I come in peace!
I'm here for interview.
Please don't kill me!
Mr. Rapaport, I am Sook-yin Park,
The Supreme Leader
will grant an interview...
...to Mr. Skylark
All questions will be supplied
by the Supreme Leader.
Terms are nonnegotiable.
You have 24 hours to decide.
- That's it?!
- Yes.
Why didn't you tell me over the phone?
Or Skype? Do you guys have Skype?
Okay, well...'
Look, could you give me some water?
That guy has water!
Please give me a ride somewhere.
I didn't pack well for this trip.
I packed like a fool!
Like a goddamn fool!
Please! Please!
Damn, she was sexy.
The f***ing helicopter landed.
I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Two soldiers jump out.
Then, out comes Sook.
I told you about her.
She comes out. She's hot.
- How hot?
- Super sexy.
- Get in there?
- Yeah, I f***ed her.
- My f***ing man!
- No, I didn't do that, dude. No!
She said we can't ask
our own questions.
They were gonna write the questions.
We can't do it.
We're essentially letting him
interview himself with your mouth.
Look. Look at this buttfuck!
He's got a whole parade of nukes.
He's ready to use them.
When you score a bin Laden...
...or a Hitler...
...or an Un...
...you take it by the balls!
t's the first rule of journalism.
Give the people what they want.
That's not the first rule.
That's the first rule of circuses
and demolition derbies.
This is the biggest interview
since Frosty/Nixon.
- "Frosty/Nixon"?
- In 10 years...
...Ron Howards gonna make a movie
out of this.
We do this, we can interview
any president on the planet.
And then you can ask them
the real questions.
This is like eating our vegetables.
Once you eat those,
then you get to eat the steak.
