R O S I E Sure, they can do that. Then there’ll be a vague sexual harassment online training, check the box, and then they will hire a new round of guys. Rinse, repeat.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E I don’t care, he needs to face consequences for his actions. And if the next guy does it, they can get fired too.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E They’d do it in a heartbeat if that was your stipulation to stay.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Alright, I’ll tell them. But I want you to be the one to tell him.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E I don’t have the seniority to do that, we’re the same level.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E I want you in the room.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E Fine.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Great! I want to hear all about how he takes it.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E I think you’re wishing it will be more dramatic than it will be. They’ll call him in, mention an HR or ethics investigation and that he was in breach of company policy, and that he’s not with the business effective immediately. And the whole time he will stare at me, because it will make it very obvious what it is.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Yes. I want to know what his face looks like.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E Are you going to want to do this to anybody who wants to fuck me?

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E If they’re that crass about it, yep.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E You must really hate the West Village.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E I can’t believe how nonchalant you’re being about this.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E I’m just numb to it, at this point. People sexualize me to my face as much as they probably do behind my back. I just try not to let it affect me anymore.
