FRANCIS My navy blue one, with the pin stripes. CLAIRE Good. You look handsome in that suit. She leans into him, slips her hand between his thighs. She starts to kiss his neck. FRANCIS (in a whisper) We’re only five minutes from the house. CLARIE You’re going to make me wait? FRANCIS (with a sly smile) Patience is a virtue. CLAIRE I’m not feeling very virtuous tonight. He smiles, leans in and kisses her. INT. WASHINGTON HERALD - NEWSROOM - MORNING A bustling bull-pen of writers, editors and assistants. Mounted TVs blare with 24 hour news channels. The steady clacking of keyboards wafts from a sea of cubicles. ZOE BARNES (mid 20s) - a strong and hungry young reporter - weaves through the cubicles toward a corner office. Inside LUCAS GOODWIN (mid to late 30s) - the Deputy Editor - is talking to BOB HAMMERSCHMIDT (early 50s) - the paper’s grizzled Editor-in-Chief. Zoe waits by the open door and listens in. HAMMERSCHMIDT ...Only a nine vote majority in the House. Every bill that hits the floor will be a cock-fight. LUCAS Yeah it’ll be ugly. 6.
HAMMERSCHMIDT Any guess what’s on the legislative agenda? LUCAS No idea. All my regular sources won’t say a word. HAMMERSCHMIDT Keep digging. Hammerschmidt gives him a slap on the back and exits, brushing past Zoe, whom he barely notices. ZOE Morning Mr. Hammerschmidt. He tries to place a name to the face. ZOE (CONT’D) Zoe Barnes. Metro. ZOE That’s right. HAMMERSHMIDT HAMMERSCHMIDT Keep up the good work. He’s gone. Zoe leans against the doorway a tad provocatively. ZOE Did it take him over a year to remember your name? LUCAS What can I do for you Zoe? ZOE I’m sick of the City Council. LUCAS I know you are. You tell me everyday. ZOE Move me online. LUCAS You want to schlep for the twitter feed? Be my guest. 7.
