Dinner
A week later and Max comes into the office with the mail
Max
*puts the envelope between his face and the computer screen
Stephen
*takes it from him and starts to open it
Stephen
I pulled some strings and I talked to my friend who’s dad is a tv producer and said that he could try and get your book out there
Stephen
In one of your earlier interviews you said you always dreamed to be a screen writer
Stephen
And I know you’ve had it tough with…
Max
You can say it Stephen
Max
And I mostly write gay mush
Stephen
You don’t write mush
Stephen
Your books are great
Max
I’m glad you like them
Max
How’s your girlfriend doing?
Max
I’m sorry to hear that
Max
So what does the letter say?
Stephen
*takes a moment to speed read the letter
Stephen
They want to make a movie from your book Silent Promises
Stephen
Is there something wrong with that one?
Max
No just I wrote that one about the boy I used to like
Stephen
Did you guys break up?
Max
I never got to tell them
Stephen
They broke your heart?
Max
Hey why don’t we go out and celebrate tonight?
Stephen
Where do you want to go?
Stephen
Let’s go to a hot pot
Max
What do they want me to do?
Stephen
They want the base of the characters and the first scene for casting
Stephen
*looks at him nervously
Max
Let’s get to work and I’ll see you at 6 for dinner
Max and Stephen work finishing up older projects and deadlines before getting to their movie
But before that could happen it hit 6 and they called it quits and headed out for a meal
Dann is having a meal with Lilith
Paparazzi
*taking pictures
Lilith
Smile for the camera darling
Lilith
But we just got our food?
Lilith
(He should know how much a girl likes to eat)
Lilith
*shoves food in his mouth
Lilith
*annoyed and hungry
Lilith
There are hungry children in this world
Paparazzi
*clicks more pictures of their “special moment” together
