“I’m Chris Hansen with _Dateline NBC_.”  
“Oh, you mean that show that people only started watching after it was revealed that you staged the events of a story regarding General Motors fuel tank explosions and after being threatened to be sued for billions for defamation, the host had to read an effusive, shit-eating apology on air? Have the show’s journalistic ethics gotten any better since then?”

Possible dialogue:  
(Hansen): Why are you here?  
(Lawyer): I refuse to answer that question  
(Hansen): we have your emails here…you were looking to hook up with a 13-year old!  
(Lawyer): Emails are not admissible in court!  
(Hansen): Are you aware that this is DATELINE NBC?  
(Lawyer): I demand you immediately cease recording me, or I’ll file a lawsuit against you!  
Should be real entertaining!
