“Ok Miley, remember what we rehearsed. Research tells us that when the pictures come out we’ll need to win back the Christian demographic. The corporation has cells within every media node, so we can let them counter any negative publicity. Anyway, they’ve threatened to withdraw the advertising accounts so they’re not gonna be trouble!”
“Uh-huh?”
“So, what do you say? We’ve been over this a thousand times.”
“I say that I’m sorry and that my family and faith will guide me through the journey.”
“That’s good, honey. Real good. Family and faith. They’re the key to this whole thing. It don’t matter how greedy, how shameless, how venal you are. If ya’ got God on your side, you can’t get away with anything in this great land of ours. Hell, even poppa got away with that terrible song! Daddy will feign outrage and claim he’d left the shoot when the picture was taken.”
“Uh-huh?”
“And remember. Put your palm to your chest when you say faith. It’ll look more convincing.”
“Whatever. I wanna gold-plated Lexus.”
