"JOB INTERVIEWER Now, here's the question you must promise on your life never to repeat to another living soul.

RACHAEL Promise.

JOB INTERVIEWER What if we asked you to seduce a powerful man to extract valuable information?

RACHAEL I laughed to conceal my irritation: Did he really want to make me his undercover call girl? I wanted to complain to a labor lawyer and string his P.R. firm up by the balls, but I knew I lacked the proof and I had promised secrecy on my life twice.

JOB INTERVIEWER Don't misunderstand me. I'm not asking you to have sex with anybody.

RACHAEL Who would be my assigned target?

JOB INTERVIEWER A White House cabinet secretary thinks a call girl will be waiting in his hotel room at 11 o' clock tomorrow night.

RACHAEL I shivered at the idea of letting some crusty old man touch me for money -- 50 grand or not.

What information do you want from him?

JOB INTERVIEWER Ask him about the governor's health-care proposal and whether he'll recommend full funding to the President.

RACHAEL Wouldn't that question sound awkward coming from a hooker?

JOB INTERVIEWER Tell him your mom recently passed away because she wasn't able to get an appointment with a doctor to detect her cancer early enough.

RACHAEL That will be romantic.

My interviewer lit another cigarette. He offered one to me but I refused.

JOB INTERVIEWER You won't have to sleep with him. Probe for an answer then go.

RACHAEL I know it won't be that easy. What if he won't tell me?

JOB INTERVIEWER Then threaten to tell reporters about his call-girl habit." Watch part 2 of the short film at: http://eudaimonia4u.blogspot.com/
