102INT. HOTEL ROOM BEDROOM - NIGHT

Brie holds a glass of wine as she and Randall lay in bed post coital.

BRIE EVANTEE

I just realized we don’t really

know anything about each other.

RANDALL

True. Every time I ask about your

life you tell me about your

favorite restaurants.

BRIE EVANTEE

I despise the “get to know you”

part of relationships.

RANDALL

Oh, ok. I understand.

BRIE EVANTEE

Ok, let’s just get it all over and

done with: My Grandfather invented

the flash freezing process so I

come from grotesque money but I got

away from it by getting three

Master’s degrees. I’ve been

divorced twice. One was a Secretary

of State. The other a sport

fisherman. I’ve slept with two

former Presidents and I speak four

languages and own two Monets.

Randall sits up a little straighter.

RANDALL

Wow. Two former Presidents? Wow.

My turn? My Father was a middle

school geography teacher. My Mother

cut hair out of our kitchen. About

two years ago our family dog JoJo

died. Which was really emotional. I

can’t remember crying that much

ever. And, I finally got my Star

Wars poster signed by Mark Hamill.

It’s in the garage.

BRIE EVANTEE

Ok, Good. That’s done.

(beat)

Now where are we gonna go for

dinner tonight?
