. she eyed me . i thought she was assaying my sincerity . she said , not really . biut it brings me a little closer to what i want . on a good day . if i hit it off with the assistant director or the DP , i pick their brain , learn things . that 's good ."
""DP?"
\" sorry . director of photography ."
"a step toward ....?" what is it that yoy want ?"
"to direct ," she said ."i've done some shorts that have been ..... that are good . a friend has offered me AD - assitant director - on an indie thing he's doing . he almost has financing ." she grinned self-consciously ." but he's almost has financing for a year ."
dreams , i thought . i remember those .
she said ." my roommates didn't expect me home today -may be that's why mel didn't tell me you arre coming by . we were suposed to be on location today in redondo / we had talent problems ."
she emphasized " talent ." i made a guess ." an actor didn't show up ?" o liked hearing her talk , hoped she would continue . the alternative was sitting in carmry and listening to the radio .
"drunk from last night . producer's pisssed ."
"movie ? i asked .
"TV series ."
"which one ?"
she told me . i hadn't heard of it .
"we debuted last spring , after sweeps . did pkay for a few episodes . rating softened , the show runner got squirrelly . i'm just praying ." she pushed her palms together like a chase schoolgirl - " wer get to finish our tween-two . i can use the work ."
she was still holding the core of the faded flower in her hands . she had pulled off most the dead petals . what remained was hard bud .
i didn't know what a twenty-two was . or a show runner . i could have asked . instead i gestured toward the other hlaf of the duplex and said ." you next -door neohbor is kind of .....reclusive ? is that a good word for it ?"
