“Welcome to ‘Reality!’ I’m your host
Hank Pulse. Today, on our television show, we have a special guest. We welcome
Sarah Michelle Gellar to the program. Before we begin talking with the highly
controversial former star of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ let me tell you who
she is and why she’s here. Her highly, highly popular television series, ‘Buffy
the Vampire Slayer’ finished its seven year run last evening; much to the
dismay of the legions of fans who supported it till the last second.”
“Sarah Michelle decided that she’d had
enough of the shows grueling and demanding schedule, and decided she’d like to
spend more time with her new husband Freddie Prince Jr., as well as concentrate
on her motion picture career. Unfortunately for the fans of ‘Buffy,’ no spin-off
has been created, and now are faced with life after
Buffy; sooner than they would’ve liked.”
“So let’s bring Sarah in, and begin
our discussion. Welcome to ‘Reality’ Sarah. We are extremely happy to have you
here.”
“Thanks,” Sarah began with a shy
smile. “I’m overwhelmed to be here.”
“Why’s that,” Hank began asking? “Has
everything been satisfactory for you Sarah?”
“Oh, yeah, everything’s been great,”
an eager Gellar quickly responded to make everyone realize that she was happy
to be on the show, only it was something else that caused her to be
overwhelmed. “You all have been great. It’s just that I’m nervous because I
know that there are so many questions headed in my direction, in only a short
period of time.”
“I completely understand Sarah,” Hank
insensitively answered and continued. “We’ll ease our way into it by asking you
a simple question. “Were you sick of doing the sow?”
“Wow,” Sarah commented as she
stuttered around for how to respond. “If that’s an easy question, I dread what’s
coming. I guess I was getting sick of the show, for we had been doing it for
seven long, but great years. I think it the show had finally reached its
pinnacle, and we didn’t want to come down from it; then face the horrid
backlash from it. We also wanted to end the show on top, because the show had
been so good for so many years, we didn’t want it to end with no one caring. I
think we did a good job.”
“I see how you nicely changed course
with that answer, and turned it into a nice poetic response,” Hank remarked as
he understood that it would take a little more directness to get valid answers
to his questions. He then noticed a smile come across Sarah’s face, which
confirmed his belief that Sarah would try and wiggle her way out of answering
his questions truthfully.
“Ok, the show was so huge that it
created an enormous following,” Hank began. “Don’t you sort of feel like you
owe it to those fans who made you so popular, don’t you owe them a better
reason than, and I quote, ‘we wanted to go out on top.’ Don’t you feel like you
are stabbing those fans in the back by taking the show off before it is vitally
necessary? I mean, you have such amazing creators and writers. I’m sure they
could keep writing at that high level.”
Sarah took a second to think and then
responded, “I’m so appreciative of the fans that have supported not only the
show, but me as well. They made me a key figure in
“Maybe your right about not owing the
fans by keeping the series running,” Hank quickly commented and went on to ask.
“But you keep saying ‘we’ in your responses. It’s been reported that the show
would’ve continued if you signed a new contract. Since you didn’t then the show
was unable to go on. So, why say ‘we wanted to go out on top’ when it’s because
of you that the show came to an end?”
Sarah became a little peeved at the
remarks and question and let out a slight chuckle. “Well, that’s one way to
look at it. But…”
“It’s the only way to look at it,”
Hank interrupted. “You didn’t sign a new contract, so the show had to end.
That’s reality. Isn’t it?”
Sarah looked at Hank who hid behind
dark-lense sunglasses, and wore a sarcastic smile. When she didn’t respond he
proceeded to ask another question. “I’ve been hearing a lot lately about,
mysterious and gruesome acts of violence happening here in
“I haven’t heard anything about that
or anything like that,” Sarah responded. “I just arrived in
“Even so,” Hank said, as he continued
on the topic he had just brought up. “You’ve worked on ‘Buffy’ for seven years!
You’ve dealt with strange and crazy, even supernatural events daily.”
“It’s a television show,” Sarah
quickly interrupted for she was becoming annoyed with Hank Pulse. “It’s not
real!”
“Even so,” Hank replied and continued.
“You have to have an opinion on the topic. There have been reports that people
are acting out in vampirism ways. Bodies have been found recently with holes in
their necks, and drained of blood. What if, what you were working on, just so
happened to be real? What if vampires, demons, and etc. did exist? What would
you do?”
Sarah smiled and began laughing on air
but responded, “Ok, ha, ha. I see! You want me to admit that I think this stuff
is real, so you can get a rise out of me. I’m sorry, but it won’t work. Ha, ha.
Good try though! But, I will say this, whoever is killing those innocent
people, should stop doing what they are doing. For, they will get caught.
Sooner or later the police will catch them. Remember, this isn’t a
Hank smiled and said, “I’d like to
thank our guest for answering our questions so candidly (Hank removes his
glasses for a second and winks). And ask her if she would like to say a final
word to her legions of fans out there.”
Sarah nods her head in acceptance, and
responds as the T.V is turned off and a pale man wearing all black, and bleach
blonde hair says, “The police, Bloody hell. They couldn’t catch me if I was
glued to the ground. ‘This is Reality!’ She was right about that. Now it’s time
to personally show her that reality!”
