Steiner: Please, come in, Beatrix!
[Beatrix walks into the room, and Kuja goes to follow. Steiner slams the door in his face.]
Kuja: HEY!!!!!!!
Beatrix: Steiner, we need the camera to do the interview. Kuja's gotta come in too.
Steiner: But that scoundrel...*sighs* very well.
[The door opens, and Kuja walks inside, muttering. Until he sees the candles, rose petals and the two glasses of wine sitting on the dressing table, and he tries not to laugh as he sits down on the couch.]
Beatrix: ...This is...uh...very nice, Steiner...but let's get this interview over with, shall we?
[Steiner pulls out a chair for her, and she sits down awkwardly. Kuja turns the camera around to himself, balancing it in one palm.]
Kuja: *sweatdrops* As you can see, Steiner wasn't doing as much acting as you might have thought. His eccentric grammar, over-the-top ways and very obvious crush on Beatrix were, in fact, written into the script after he tried out. Heh. *turns the camera back*
Beatrix: Now, Steiner. In the game, you protected Garnet with your life. Do you feel like that in real life too? Protecting those you hold dear to you?
Kuja: *whispering* Hey, you sound professional. We might be able to raise the price s'more...
Steiner: *grabs Beatrix's hands* Of course! I will always protect the people whom I hold in great esteem! For why else are we put on this Earth?
Beatrix: ...Yeah, whatever. *pulls her hands away* Also, your character had a very strong sense of right and wrong, and strict principles. Do you follow in this trend?
Kuja: Pretty good, B! Way to go!
Steiner: Of COURSE I do! I am a firm believer-
[Kuja leans backwards on the couch, and tries to rearrange the cushions. As he does, a cushion falls off, and a suitcase falls off with it.]
Steiner: O.O!!!!
Kuja: Hel-lo, what do we have here? Keh heh!
Beatrix: Open it! ^__^
Steiner: NO!
[With Beatrix restraining Steiner from hurtling across the room, Kuja opens the suitcase. Beatrix and Kuja's mouths drop open when they see what's inside...]
Beatrix: HOLY-
Kuja: There must be thousands of dollars in here!
Steiner: It-it is all my own, I a-assure you!
Kuja: No it bloody isn't. See? Here're the fake notes I used to pay for my "access-all-areas pass"!
Beatrix: Steiner! You stole all that?
Steiner: N-NO! It...it...uh...I-I must ask you to leave now!
[He starts practically pushing them out of the room.]
Beatrix: Steiner, I'm not finished!
Kuja: Hey, Steiner! Can I borrow some money?
[The door slams behind them.]
Beatrix: There you have it ladies and gentlemen! Steiner is a liar, thief, and...uh...a bad man!
Kuja: Who would have thought it...
Beatrix: We'd better run for it, before he remembers that we got that all on tape...
Kuja: ...Good point. Moving swiftly on down the corridor then-
[As Kuja and Beatrix starts walking hastily down the hall, Kuja tries to hand the camera over to Beatrix. She pushes it back at him.]
Beatrix: Nuh-uh! It's still my turn!
Kuja: How'd you figure that!? You just did Steiner!
Beatrix: Yeah, but YOU got two turns in a row! We had to switch while we waited for Steiner! So, it's still my turn! *sticks out tongue*
Kuja: ...Fine. But make it quick.
Beatrix: But that wouldn't be as entertaining for all our fans, now, would it? ^__^
Kuja: *mutters*
Beatrix: Thought so. So, I'll take as long as I want, thank you very much!
Kuja: Yeah, yeah. Just try not to make it so long we run out of batteries or film...although we could charge more if it's a double tape...heh!
Beatrix: ...Hey, do you hear that? o.O;;
