92 Days Before- Scene 10

David and Hugo are sitting in a restaurant looking over some scripts. David places his down.

Hugo: So it’s a no?

David also places it down.

David: It’s a no.

Hugo: Can I ask why?

David: It’s got no drive, no passion and I’ve got to be honest, the final episode twist is just moronic.

Hugo: it subverts expectations.

David: Only because it makes no sense.

The waiter/waitress walks over.

Server: Can I get you some food?

David: I will have a full English, without the beans.

Hugo: Just some fried eggs on toast.

Server: I will bring that over shortly.

Hugo: big breakfast.

David: I won’t eat again until Abi cooks me something

Hugo taps on the script.

Hugo: Sure you don’t want to take another look? We could always amend it.

David: That’s the issue. I don’t want a script that we are constantly having to amend. I want the writers to be good enough to do their job.

Hugo: And I thought we had a winner there with that one. Why not film a pilot, we don’t need to hit it out of the park first show, build up slowly.

David: In this game there are no third chances, I’ve had my first, I need this one. Anyway I’m betting on something else.

Hugo sighs.

Hugo: You still think you can tempt him over don’t you.

David: The kids young, he’s fresh and he’s got more talent than any script writer we could hire.

Hugo: And he’s also making a fortune doing talk shows. He’s hardly going to want to turn that down to come work for us.

David: You don’t know him like I do. He wants to change the world and he will be frustrated to hell that it isn’t happening fast enough. Trust me he will come on board.

Hugo: What do we do about actors then?

David: I’ve hired Beth Powell to start us some work on casting, seeing whose soon going to be leaving contracts, of course we can’t get any actors without the role.

Hugo: I’ve worked with Beth before, she is good.

The waitress comes over with their food and places it down in front of them.

David: Damn I’m going to enjoy this.

Camera fades end scene.
