Gillian Flynn - Gone Girl: Tanner Bolt's Office Day lyrics

EXT. TANNER'S OFFICE BUILDING - NEW YORK - DAY Nick hops out of a cab and hurries in. INT. OFFICE LOBBY - DAY Nick is scanning a DIRECTORY. HE finds BOLT ASSOCIATES, FLOOR 52, just as TANNER BOLT, surrounded by OLD-ESTABLISHMENT * lawyers, strides through the lobby. NICK weaves his way urgently through the lunch crowds. NICK : Mr. Bolt. Tanner Bolt, I-- TANNER is used to this: He keeps walking, is about to give the brush—off, when he recognizes Nick. TANNER: Nick Dunne. I've been sitting by the phone, my friend. INT. LOBBY - DAY NICK and TANNER are sitting on a lobby bench as people go in and out for lunch. Tanner is having the laugh of his life. NICK: You don't believe me. TANNER: Sure I believe you! It's just the craziest thing I've ever heard. I love it. I mean, for you, it s**s...but you gotta have a grudging respect for your wife at this point. Tanner leans back, still laughing; Nick is flummoxed. NICK: Are you laughing me out of your building? TANNER: No! Are you kidding me?! I'm in, I'm way in! (more serious) This is what I do, Nick. This is why I have a $100,000 dollar retainer—because I win unwinnable cases. You've come to the right guy. NICK: One hundred thousand dollars? TANNER: We'll figure something out. I'll give you a special My Wife Is Sk**ed in the Art of Vengeance rate. NICK: OK, so what's the plan? TANNER: So far, this is a he-said she said. NICK: And she's telling a better version. TANNER: No, Nick. She's telling a perfect version. (MORE) TANNER (CONT'D): I want to start today preparing a defense, should we need it. Now, if we decide to go with your story- NICK: The truth TANNER: We'll need to realign the public's vision of Amy. Make them stop seeing her as America's sweetheart, and start seeing her for what she is: a mind-f**er of the first degree. That's a big realignment. We need other voices besides yours. There has to be someone she's seriously screwed with before— NICK: She filed charges against an old boyfriend. Tommy O'Hara. New York guy. Tanner texts something into his phone. TANNER: Easy to find. NICK: There's another guy in St. Louos—Desi Collings—who supposedly stalked her. TANNER: Go talk to Tommy. I'll draw up the contracts. NICK's phone text buzzes. He looks at it: holds up the screen: TOMMY O'HARA with a phone number. Tanner grins. TANNER (CONT'D): Told you you came to the right guy.
