103 // PRIVATE CONVERSATION

Conversation between
Robert Downey Jr
and
Scarlett Johansson

ROBERT
Scarlett I need to ask you a favor

SCARLETT
Sure what is it?

ROBERT
It's about Lana

SCARLETT
Oh did you hear? 😞
I can't believe what's happening rn
Internet trolls are having a field day, it's horrifying
I've been trying to reach out but she's not answering

ROBERT
That's what I wanted to talk to you about
She's not going to answer to anyone
But I need you to go to her house and stay with her
Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid

SCARLETT
Wait why are you asking me this?
Don't get me wrong I've been trying to find a way to help
But this is weird coming from you
I thought you'd be the one staying with her

ROBERT
It's a long story
We're not on the best terms right now

SCARLETT
Seriously?? Terrible timing Robert

ROBERT
Yeah I know
But please just bear with me
I'm seriously worried she might do something she'll regret
She shouldn't be on her own right now

SCARLETT
You mean... drinking?

ROBERT
Yeah... she almost got back into it over much less than this

SCARLETT
Don't worry I'm heading to her place
I'm not leaving her

ROBERT
Thank you Scarlett

SCARLETT
Can I ask you something?

ROBERT
Of course

SCARLETT
You knew about her addiction, didn't you?

ROBERT
Yeah I did
I've always known

SCARLETT
Why didn't she ever tell any of us?
We're her friends
It wouldn't have changed anything

ROBERT
I know that
But this hits too close to home for Lana
I guess it's not really my story to tell

SCARLETT
Yeah I get it
Don't worry though
I'll take care of her

Conversation between
Marjani King
and
Scarlett Johansson

MARJANI
Scar can you please do something for me?

SCARLETT
Is this about Lana?

MARJANI
Yes
Am I that obvious?

SCARLETT
Well everyone's been worried sick about her
Starting with me
And you're not the only one I've been talking to

MARJANI
I won't lie to you
I'm not on the best terms with her at the moment

SCARLETT
YOU TOO?!

MARJANI
Wait what?

SCARLETT
Neverminnnnd
Anyway I was just about to head to her place to check on her

MARJANI
Could you please make sure she gets off the internet
Knowing her, she must be scrolling through miles of tweets and articles
And most importantly make sure she doesn't doesn't get anywhere near alcohol
Tie her down if you have to but do NOT let her put her sobriety in jeopardy

SCARLETT
She's sober?

MARJANI
Yeah, has been for 4 years actually

SCARLETT
Well none of the articles ever mentioned that

MARJANI
Of course they wouldn't 🙄
