"Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to ABC's special program for the Oscar ceremony. I'm Jerry Madson, reporting live from the Kodak Theater. As you can see on your TVs, the tall Oscar statuettes have already been erected outside the theater as usual. Although there aren't many guests on the red carpet yet, the exciting atmosphere is starting to show."
"Ha, look who I see, our old cowboy Clint Eastwood. He usually doesn't come this early—hey, Clint, how are you?"
"Good afternoon, Jerry. Seeing you is really unsettling."
"Unsettling? Why? Just because I want to get some news out of you?"
"Isn't that exactly why you're greeting me?"
"Ha, our old cowboy is as sharp as ever, so I'll get straight to it. You've been nominated for Best Director two years in a row now. It's been ten years since you last won the Oscar statuette. Do you think you will win again, especially with such strong competitors in front of you?"
