EVERYTHING GORGEOUS
NICK SINGH SAID TO ME
THAT NIGHT.

1. “Tally?!?”

2. “You’re still here?!…Ha-ha. I guess that’s pretty obvious. I’m just a little surprised ’cause Kathleen left an hour ago to go out for dinner…How are you getting home?”

3. “You know, come to think of it, I bet she wanted me to take you. I’ve got a key. Yeah. I’m pretty sure of it. She’s been so busy, you know, with the way Bitsie ’n’ Bytesie is so far over budget and her trying to develop another series and all that. She must have just forgotten. Not forgotten you. Ha-ha. I mean, she must have just forgotten to remind me to take you home. I hope you weren’t waiting long.”(Adorable smile)

4. “Just let me get these scripts for tomorrow. Here—want to read one?”

5. “That’s my car over there.”

6 “Mind if I take this call?” [“Hello…Oh, hi!…Un-huh …Un-huh…Yup…I’m just taking Tally home… Kathleen’s niece…Sure. Red or White?…Okay…Yeah. Me, too…”(Cute little laugh) “Bye.”]

7. “So whaddya think? The TV business is pretty neat, eh?”

8. “I love it. Especially since I get to work for your aunt. She’s pretty amazing, you know. I’ve learned a lot from her. I’ve got a series I’m hoping to get going myself one day, so this experience has been invaluable.”

9. “Well, here we are!…You going to be okay until she gets back?”

10. “Look, ah, here’s my cell-phone number. Just call if you need anything. And take this too. Kathleen never has anything in the fridge. C’mon. Take it. I’ve got a feeling you like chocolate.” (Another cute little laugh) “See you tomorrow, Tally.”
