Look, [uh-oh] it's not that I'm not flattered over how much of an impression I left on you just from guest-starring in two movies [and a novelization; your interactions are more interesting in the novelization] --- Right [whoops, carry on!]
Anyway. It's that I don't think you have what it takes to carry out my work. Journalism is more than research, liking words, and having an available thesaurus. It's cut-throat, determination. It involves more organization than you're capable of; not to mention having an attention span larger than a goldfish. I worked hard to get where I am. You're barely a nursing student. [ouch.]
There's nothing wrong with that. I'm only pointing out that you're both much too soft and, definitely, too green to go after hard-hitters and people used giving the slip-off. How about maybe in another five years? By then you'll hopefully done more than Google'd journalism writing 101 [...] and I'll have made a comeback. [Hopefully on the second part.]

At least the payoff is good? I mean, if you count seeing monsters and crazy physics-defying stuff as payoff.
