- The following morning Laura shows Riggan the paper. Mike has a huge front-page interview feature in which he says some not-so-nice things about Riggan.
- Riggan's mad and kicks Mike out of his tanning bed to yell at him for trying to upstage him in his own play.
- Mike isn't sympathetic and says mean things back, but when Riggan starts talking about his hateful drunk of a father, Mike is remorseful.
- But it's not true. Riggan was lying just like Mike lied in the interview. The two have a bit of a tussle and Riggan storms off, back to his office.
