(i.e. I feel a rant coming on)
TV JOURNALIST
So, Mr. Davis, you previously claimed that Scientology
did not use disconnection threats & coercion to stop
Scientologists from reading or revealing horrific human
rights abuses, crimes and other dark secrets that your
church leaders will stop at nothing to hide.
TOMMY DAVIS
That is quite true, there is no disconnection or any
other form of pressure put on Scientologists. They
are free to read anything, watch anything,
speak about anything...we're talking Total Freedom.
TV JOURNALIST
Yet, ex-Scientologist Leah Remini was not allowed
to speak about anything. When she simply asked
"Where's Shelly?" you screamed at her: "YOU DON'T
HAVE THE FUCKING RANK TO ASK THAT QUESTION!"
TOMMY DAVIS
So? What is your point?
TV JOURNALIST
Wutt? What do you mean what is my point?
You claimed that your church doesn't do
that, but then you openly just admitted that
you DO do that. You don't even allow
a parishioner to ask a simple question!
TOMMY DAVIS
I don't see where you're going with this. Can
we get back to the part about where I am talking
about the humanitarian work we are doing to
remodel our churches with bathrooms that
are lined with Italian marble? Did you
know that our Ideal toilet seats are
made from Bocote, the world's
most expensive wood?
TV JOURNALIST
You are avoiding the questions. Leah Remini
asked a perfectly innocent two-word question
about her disappeared friend Shelly and
you banished her to your Florida headquarters
for 3 months of brutal interrogations and
psychological re-programming. And on
top of that insanity, you charged her $300,000!
TOMMY DAVIS
I think you better do some fact checking, my friend,
with currency conversion rates, I think the amount
was actually slightly less than $300,000.
TV JOURNALIST
Are you serious?! You think this is some
kind of joke? Your church is melting down
with all these damning and horrific revelations.
Yet, you sit here on national TV and quibble
about how many hundreds of thousands of dollars
one of your parishioners was terrorized into paying?
TOMMY DAVIS
If you get off of this bigoted line of questions, we are
prepared to send you a free copy of Ron's "SPACE JAZZ" album.
TV JOURNALIST
Have you lost your mind?
TOMMY DAVIS
I find it offensive that you are attacking my religion.
If you ask me any other questions, I am going to
stand up and leave this interview. Right here, right now.
TV JOURNALIST
Wutt? You solicited this interview but now you say
that you don't want to answer any questions. Then
what is the reason you came on the show? An
interview
is questions. What did you expect?
TOMMY DAVIS
Well I certainly did not expect to be harassed
with religious hatred and bigotry.
TV JOURNALIST
How is it bigotry to ask you questions?
Now you have a chance to defend your
church against Leah's accusations. If
something she said is inaccurate then
please set the record straight.
TOMMY DAVIS
Okay. Leah Remini is an insane, evil psychotic.
Everything she says is a lie because she is paid
by psychiatrists to sabotage mankind's only hope, Scientology.
If what she says is true, bring her out here right now and have
her say those things to my face. But, no, she knows she is a lying
SP, so she is too cowardly to ever do that! Case closed!
TV JOURNALIST
As a matter of fact, Leah is back in the green room right now,
because she tipped us off that you would certainly challenge her
to "say it to your face" knowing that you would never have
the guts to be on the same show with her.
TOMMY DAVIS
No way. You're bluffing. She's not here.
I'm here. But as I told you, she's too much
of a coward to face me. On the other hand
I am a Clear and I have tremendous courage
to face life and all of its many challenges.
TV JOURNALIST
Okay, let's bring out Leah and see who's lying.
Leah, come on out!
(from backstage, Leah Remini emerges
to uproarious applause and cheers)
TOMMY DAVIS
(stands up, rips off his microphone)
This was all just an hateful religious ambush!
I clearly told you that I am
disconnected
from Leah because she is an SP, yet
you mock my religious beliefs by
bringing her on the stage--when you
know I am not allowed to talk to an SP!
(Davis slams down his mike, storms off)
TV JOURNALIST
So, welcome to the show, Leah. Is there
anything you'd care to add to what
just happened?
LEAH
lolol
lolol
lolol
TV JOURNALIST
Leah?
LEAH
lolol
lolol
lolol
TV JOURNALIST
Okay folks, we will go to a commercial
here and give Leah a few minutes to
get her TR-0 back in.
