Belle stood talking to the group of actors even after Dewey excused himself. It wasn't until Gale Weathers walked through the door that Belle too left the group.

She had practically ran to Gale when she walked in.

"Hey Gale!" She said as she made her way over to the woman.

"Hi Belle!" Gale greeted, going in for a hug, "How've you been?"

"Good up until Dewey called last night, how about you?"

"Dewey called you?" Gale nearly shouted, completely ignoring Belle's question.

"Yeah. He didn't call you?" Belle asked.

"No!" Gale replied.

"Gale?" Belle heard behind her. She turned to see Dewey walking towards the women.

"You called her?" Gale asked Dewey, clearly still bewildered she hadn't received a call aswell.

Dewey nervously nodded.

"She has kids, Dewey! What if she dies!" Gale halfway shouted.

"I was thinking about them! Woodsboro isn't that far, what if the killer went after her and they were there! I'm their godfather, I was looking out for them!" He retorted.

"Oh of course, you were only doing your godfatherly duties," She replied as she rolled her eyes. Gale's words were soaked in sarcasm.

Dewey nodded self approvingly, clearly missing Gales sarcastic tone, and turned his attention to the woman walking up behind him.

It was Jennifer Jolie. Belle could tell because of her lime green suit.

"Gale Weathers! Oh my god!" She yelled.

"Shit," Gale muttered, causing Belle to giggle slightly under her breath.

"Listen, I know we've never met and I don't mind you never returning my calls... but I have to admit, after 2 films I feel like I'm in your mind!" Jennifer explained.

"That would explain my constant headaches," Gale said, once again causing Belle to quietly laugh.

"Sorry things didn't work on 60 Minutes, Total Entertainment is a pretty good fallback." Jennifer quipped.

"Thank you. And I'm sorry things didn't work out with Brad Pitt, being single is a pretty good fallback," Gale retorted.

"Gives me more time for my work. After all, Gale Weathers is such a complex character. Oh and to be played by an actress with such depth and range," Jennifer responded
