Toby: By the way, I found out why Chigorin and his people have such a problem with you.

Koss: It's because I don't flatter them.

Toby: No. It's because you stink.

Koss: I beg your pardon?

Toby: You can beg all you want, you're not gonna get it. Last month, you alleged the Chigorin government bombed several apartment buildings based on an unattributed source. It was refuted, you never retracted it.

Koss: The government's case was all over the television.

Toby: Last week, you wrote a cover story about President Chigorin's mother-in-law moving closer to the Kremlin. (Koss rolls her eyes and stands, readying to leave.) You printed her home address, she had to relocate.

Koss: Well, that's her decision.

Toby: You reported the failing grades of the Defense Minister's twelve-year-old son. Does that even count as journalism? (Koss stares at Toby, refusing to respond.) Does that do anything but bring ridicule on a defenseless kid? We've got people like you here. On cable and on the Internet. And there's no one anywhere on the ideological spectrum who doesn't roll their eyes when their names are spoken out loud. (Koss smiles disdainfully as Toby walks back to his desk.) We've always had free press here. We take it for granted. But how can you … (Long shot of Koss standing from behind Toby's right shoulder, his right arm extended in the air as he crumples his printout of her article on the Defense Minister's son.) … treat it like this? (He tosses the crumpled article away in disgust. She watches it go without a word.) You should give up your space and put another naked woman in there. Anyway, here are your credentials.

Koss walks to the desk, clearly expecting him to hand them to her; instead, he shoves them toward her roughly and turns away. Forced to pick them up herself from his desk, Koss does so and promptly exits Toby's office.
