Fifty Shades of Grey


 * [first lines; Ana is getting ready in her apartment that she shares with Kate who’s lying sick on the couch]
 * Kate: Ana, take my car. I gave you the recorder right?
 * Anastasia Steele: Uh…yes.
 * Kate: And you have all the questions?
 * Anastasia Steele: Yes.
 * Kate: And you know where you’re going?
 * Anastasia Steele: Yes, I do have a GPS, and a four point O GPA. I can figure it out.
 * Kate: You’re wearing that?
 * Anastasia Steele: Okay, maybe a little less talking, more eating. Bye.
 * [she kisses Kate’s forehead before leaving]
 * [Ana pulls up outside Grey Enterprises building, gets out of her car and looks up at the building before entering]
 * Receptionist #1: Miss Kavanagh? May I take your coat?
 * Anastasia Steele: Oh, yeah
 * [Ana takes off her coat to give to the receptionist]
 * Anastasia Steele: Um, Uh… Okay.
 * Receptionist #2: Mr. Grey will see you now.
 * Anastasia Steele: Okay.
 * [Christian’s secretary, Andrea approaches Ana]
 * Andrea: This way please.
 * Anastasia Steele: Okay.
 * [Ana follows Andrea]
 * [Andrea takes Ana to Christian’s office]
 * Andrea: Right this way.
 * [as Andrea opens the door, Ana stumbles and falls forward on her hands, Christian walks over to her]
 * Christian Grey: Miss Kavanagh. Are you alright?
 * [he helps Ana stand]
 * Christian Grey: Christian Grey.
 * Anastasia Steele: I’m Anastasia Steele. Um, Miss Kavanagh has the flu, so she asked me to fill in.
 * Christian Grey: I see. So you’re studying journalism as well.
 * Anastasia Steele: No, English Lit. Um, Kate’s my roommate.
 * Christian Grey: As I said, I only have ten minutes. Please, have a seat, Miss Steele.
 * [Christian takes sits behind his desk as Ana takes the seat opposite]
 * [as Ana has forgot her pen, she notices pencils on Christian’s desk, Christian gets up, picks up a pencil and gives it to Ana]
 * Anastasia Steele: Thank you. Ready?
 * Christian Grey: Whenever you are.
 * Anastasia Steele: Uh, okay.
 * [Ana looks down at the paper with her questions on them]
 * Anastasia Steele: Um, so this is for the special graduation issue of the student newspaper.
 * Christian Grey: Yes, I’m giving the commencement address at this year’s ceremony.
 * Anastasia Steele: You are? I mean, um…I know.
 * [Ana looks down at her questions]
 * Anastasia Steele: Uh, you are very young to have amassed such an empire. To what do you owe your…
 * Christian Grey: To what do I owe my success?
 * Anastasia Steele: Yep.
 * Christian Grey: Seriously?
 * Anastasia Steele: Yes.
 * Christian Grey: Business is about people, and I’ve always been good at people. What motivates them, what incentivizes them, what inspires them.
 * Anastasia Steele: Maybe you’re just lucky.
 * Christian Grey: I’ve always found that the harder I work the more luck I seem to have. The key to my success has been in identifying talented individuals and harnessing their efforts.
 * Anastasia Steele: So you’re a control freak?
 * Christian Grey: Oh, I exercise control in all things, Miss Steele.
 * [Ana looks at her questions again]
 * Anastasia Steele: Okay. Um, uh, your company is involved primarily in the telecommunications sector. Yet you also invest in numerous agricultural projects, including several in Africa. Is that something that you feel passionate about? Feeding the world’s poor?
 * Christian Grey: It’s smart business.
 * [Ana looks at him disapprovingly]
 * Christian Grey: You don’t agree?
 * Anastasia Steele: I don’t know enough about it. I just wonder if perhaps your heart might be a bit bigger than you want to let on.
 * Christian Grey: There’s some people that say I don’t have a heart, at all.
 * Anastasia Steele: Why would they say that?
 * Christian Grey: Because they know me well. Go on.
 * [Ana looks at her questions]
 * Anastasia Steele: Um, do you have any interests outside of work?
 * Christian Grey: I enjoy various physical pursuits.
 * [looking at her notes]
 * Anastasia Steele: You’re unmarried…oh, you were adopted at age four.
 * Christian Grey: That’s a matter of public record.
 * Anastasia Steele: I’m sorry I didn’t…
 * Christian Grey: Do you have an actual question, Miss Steele?
 * Anastasia Steele: Yeah, sorry.
 * [looking down at the questions]
 * Anastasia Steele: Are you gay?
 * [realizing what she’s just read Ana chuckles nervously]
 * Anastasia Steele: It’s written here, I’m just…
 * Christian Grey: No, Anastasia. I’m not gay.
 * Anastasia Steele: I apologize, Mr. Grey, Kate can be a little…
 * Christian Grey: Intrusive?
 * Anastasia Steele: Curious.
 * Christian Grey: What about you?
 * [he takes the seat next to Ana]
 * Christian Grey: Why don’t you ask me something that you want to know?
 * Anastasia Steele: Earlier you said that there are some people who know you well. Why do I have the feeling that that is not true?
 * [just then Andrea opens the office door]
 * Andrea: Mr. Grey, your next meeting is in the conference room.
 * Christian Grey: Cancel it, please. We’re not finished here.
 * Andrea: Yes, sir.
 * [Andrea closes the door]
 * Anastasia Steele: No, I, um…I can go. It’s fine.
