ENTERTAINMENT

A: Hello, great to meet with you!

B: And you as well!

A: Finally. Sorry we’ve had to cancel nine times and re-set. It’s my fault.

B: No it’s mine. I should say: We’re all obsessed with you.

A: No. I’m obsessed with YOU.

B: PROJECT TBD broke my soul. My FATHER/MOTHER/SIBLING was a ALCOHOLIC/RACIST/DEPRESSIVE/NARCISSIST/TRAUMA SURVIVOR so it was basically my lifeline during PERSONAL CRISIS TBD.

A: Amazing. I actually am in the middle of PERSONAL CRISIS TBD so that really hits home.

A: Great! Here’s 9 minutes of a story about my life that is not related to the project we are interested in developing with you.

B: I heard your story. Here is 11 minutes of a story related to that shoehorns in a major celebrity.

A: Wow.

B: Wow. Should we rent a house together this summer?

A: Yes. Will you be my children’s emergency contact?

B: Yes.

A: Before we get into anything, I need to let you know we will email for 5 months about this project before signing a deal.

B: Make it 9.

A: Sounds good!

B: Let’s schedule a time to have lunch when we’re in the same city!

A: No!

B: Perfect!
