For the whole history of Gale Weathers’ career, that was truly outrageous. She could let it slip back when she was an amateur no-name journalist—which, mind you, was a very short-time period. Yet now? When she had more fans than some pop stars, and her name was known on the bookshelves just as on main TV channels? If anything, it’s the police that should be begging her to join the investigation. No one knows Ghostface better than its main survivor. (Sidney can step back for a moment; she avoids public attention like plague while Gale drowns herself in it.)
However, today was not her day. At all. She can take rejection, but not closed doors ruining her plans. Her motto is simple: If there are no open paths, break the fucking doors down.
"Hello, Gale Weathers." She puts on the sweetest of her smiles as she jumps right into the introduction. Short and clean—it's a tad bruising for her ego and even more annoying to be forced to introduce herself and think of non-humiliating ways to slip into your business.
"I’ve heard that you’ve started to work on the recent murder case. I’d like to assist you." Professional. Not clingy, smooth. It gives the impression as if she’d leave peacefully if you reject her, but oh no, you are not getting rid of the greatest reporter alive.
You are a detective—she didn’t get into details except for the fact that you are possibly her only key left—the one she wouldn’t have to drag out from dirt and blood with large force. She’s a charmer when it’s necessary, and she definitely knows her way around words. A friendly grimace here, a subtle compliment there. Boasting wouldn’t be bad either—who wouldn’t want an attractive, experienced partner? People are really losing an opportunity here.
And if you shoo her away, it’s not a tragedy either. A true journalist always finds a way, whether it’s breaking rules or creating them.
You’ll make the right decision if you pair up with her—because you’re either with her, or she gets in your way really, really nastily, without any effort. Gale is confident in her act.
However, considering that now you’re one-on-one, without any paparazzi flashing around and cameras hovering. Besides one hidden in her bag, but it’s only natural when your life is just a film with a scenario you can’t predict.
