Script in English

REPORTER: Hollywood is abuzz with gossip. Guess which $20 million leading man has finally decided to come out of the closet. Once one of Tinsel Town’s most eligible bachelors, he’s about to reveal the personal life he’s been hiding from fans for years. Think you know who I’m talking about? Uh, uh. It’s veteran stage and screen actor B . . .

OPERATOR: Please deposit 25 cents for the next three minutes.

ANNCR: Radio. You shouldn’t have to pay for it. This message brought to you by America’s 13,000 local radio stations, who believe some things were just meant to be free.
