"the REAL Jay Gatsby"
Reporter: Mr. Gatsby, is it true that you have connections to Meyer Wolfshiem, a known criminal and head of illegal industries ?
Gatsby: If by "connections" you mean a friendship purely private and not business-related, then yes I do.
Reporter: How about the rumour that you only moved to East Egg, to make it easier to keep your illegal alcohol business under control ?
Gatsby (laughing): Unfortunately neither of this is true, I am not connected to any illegal deals and I moved here because of private reasons.
Reporter: Which are?
Gatsby: Well, in fact it is only one reason and it is called Daisy Buchanan.
Reporter: You mean the wife of Tom Buchanan, living across the bay?
Gatsby: Yes, I had known her for over 10 years and back then we were in love. But due to given circumstances, we could not get married and be together.
Reporter: What were these circumstances?
Gatsby: Firstly, I was about to go to war, because I was in the military and also my financial situation back then was not worth her parents' approval of our love.
Reporter: So now you have come back, as one of the richest men of our country. Do you mind me asking how you became so wealthy?
Gatsby: I was born into a wealthy mid-west family in San Francisco and inherited most of my money.
Reporter: Didn't you just imply that you were poor as a young man.
Gatsby: Yes, that is because I inherited, but then lost everything and had to work in different businesses to get back what I owned once.
Reporter: I understand. So, what is your plan now ? Will you try to win
Daisy Buchanan back ?
Gatsby (smiling): Yes indeed, old sport. She was, is, the love of my life and I will do anything to get her back.
Reporter: I wish you best luck with that, and thank you for your time.
It was great meeting you.
Gatsby: Thank you, it was my
