ur eyes at Truman once,
flirted with him, stole a few minutes of air time to
thrust yourself and your politics into the limelight,
that you know him, that you know what's right for him?
You really think you're in a position to judge him? Do you--
SYLVIA
What right do you have to take a baby an-an-and turn
his life into some kind of mockery? Don't you ever
feel guilty?
CHRISTOF
I have given Truman a chance to live a normal life.
The world. The place you live in..is the sick
place. Seahaven is the way the world should be.
SYLVIA
He's not a performer, he's a prisoner. Look at
him. Look at what you've done to him.
CHRISTOF
He can leave at any time. If it was more than
just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely
determined to discover the truth, there's no way we
could prevent him from leaving. What distresses
you, really, caller, is that ultimately, Truman
prefers his "cell,"as you call it.
SYLVIA
That's where you're wrong. You're so wrong. And
he'll prove you wrong.
INTERVIEWER
Well, aside from uh..heated comments from a very small
minority, it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience.
CHRISTOF
Yes, for Truman and for the viewing public.
INTERVIEWER
Well, Christof, I can't thank you enough for giving
so generously your time tonight. I think it's safe
to say that now that this crisis is behind us and
that Truman is back to his old self we can look
forward to some exciting new developments.
CHRISTOF
Well, Mike, the big news is that Meryl will be
leaving Truman in an upcoming episode, and a new
romantic interest will be introduced.
INTERVIEWER
Aha!
CHRISTOF
I'm determined that television's first on-air conception
will still take place.
INTERVIEWER
Well, another television milestone straight ahead on the show.
It has been a singular honor and pleasure, sir. Great.
Thank you.
CHRISTOF
Thank you, Mike.
