The Newsroom · Season 1, Episode 15

Will and Charlie in “Unfinished Business”

I was rejecting a pass from her while trying to talk her out of what they call at TMI a 'take-down piece' of one of the desperate housewives of New Jersey.

Real Housewives.

Who gives a shit.

Definitely not me.

And the tuxedo's off the rack.

Did you grope her?

No! I-I-I-- I gently touched her to block her as she was coming in for a kiss. I blocked her. I was the victim of an unwanted sexual advance. But more important, I was fighting the good fight.

Why were you fighting any fight?

I was trying to get her to not write the take-down piece.

Why?

Why?

Yeah.

I'll tell you why. Because I'm on a mission to civilize.

How's it going so far?

Progress is slow, but I'm in it for the long haul.

You want Publicity to draft a statement?

About the mission?

The Page Six piece.

Absolutely not.

Good.

What did you call me up here for?

Mostly to laugh at you.
