A quick update

[AG & MM's office. They sift through face shots of various actresses.]
MM: Now she's hot.
AG: She is hot! [pause] But does she look Kryptonian?
MM: No. [Throws picture to the floor] No. [Throws picture to the floor.]
AG: Wow.
MM: Now God gave her two handfuls... I mean with two hands!
AG: Indeed. Check her application. Will she do shower scenes?
[There's a knock on the door]
MM: Come in!
[AM enters]
AG: Allison! Come in, come in! Have a seat.
[AM sits.]
MM: So... how'd it go?
AM: It... not so well.
AG: Mmmm... which part.
AM: Which part do you think?!?!
MM: Really? Because Kristen hasn't come by screaming for our heads yet.
AM: That's because she's been scheming.
AG: Against us?
AM: Of course against us! I really need you guys to watch my back from now on.
MM: Watch your back?
AM: Yeah, she's after me!
AG: Wait, when I said "us" I meant Miles and me "us". Not us and Allison "us."
AM: I don't know. She's probably after everybody. But primarily it's me.
MM: Well that's a relief.
AM: What are you talking about? You have my back don't you?
AG: Heh, your back? Look, Allison it's bad business to have favorites among the cast...
MM: You all have to settle your squabbles amongst yourselves.
AM: Amongst ourselves? I stuck my neck way out for you two and my head is about to get loped off for it! The least you could do is...
AG: Allison, really, I wish there was something we could do.
AM: So that's how it is? You're just going to leave me twisting in the wind?
MM: That's a little harsh, don't you think?
AM: You miserable, spineless, gutless...
AG: Seriously, Allison, you aren't going to alienate your only allies are you?
AM: Allies?
MM: Look, we need you're help on something.
AM: Oh, no. I'm not lifting another finger for...
AG: We're looking for a replacement for Erica.
AM: And you want my input?
MM: Sure. What do you think of... Supergirl?
AM: Supergirl?
AG: Sure! Short skirt, bare mid riff. What's not to like?
AM: Supergirl?
MM: The perfect replacement for Lois!
AM: Supergirl?
AG: You don't like it.
AM: I just thought maybe we could use someone who would further develop the other characters.
MM: Like... who?
AM: I don't know. Maybe someone who works at the Planet. An editor or something.
AG: We thought about that.
AM: Well that's what we should do then!
MM: We decided against it.
AM: What? Why?
AG: What's the point with Lois gone?
AM: Huh? What the hell are you talking about?
MM: There's no triangle.
AM: Excuse me?
AG: An editor sounded like a good I idea for Lois' love interest but with her out...
MM: What's the point, really?
AM: What's the point? Of creating a role for the boss of one main character and probably the future boss of another?
AG: Exactly! What is the point? Where's the triangle?
AM: Where's the triangle? There's no triangle for Supergirl!
AG: Sure there is.
AM: With her cousin?
MM: No. Ew.
AG: With Jimmy!
AM: Jimmy? But he's...
MM: Welcome to the triangle, Allison!
AM: No.
AG: It's going to be great!
AM: [Getting up to leave] This is not happening!
MM: People are going to love it! Love it!
AM: [Exiting] This is a nightmare!
AG: [Yelling after her] Love it!
[The door slams. MM returns his attention to the head shots]
MM: Now she's hot!
AG: Not Kristen hot, though.
MM: Of course not, nobody is Kristen hot.
[The both turn to look at a Smallville poster on the wall featuring KK and sigh simultaneously.]
