INT. HOTEL ROOM CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

MATT, publicist, leans out the door talking to exiting local press member.

MATT

Thanks again. If you need a copy of the press kit, there are a few on the table to your right. And be sure to tell the valet that you’re part of today’s press day. We’ll take care of the tip. Remember, the film is in theaters on November 7th.

MATT closes the door and turns to face PAUL, the actor.

MATT

That’s the last one. Great work today. Do you mind signing a few of these?

MATT begins to gather the mounted posters and easels around the room and place the posters on the conference table. PAUL grabs a Sharpie and starts signing.

PAUL

Today was a lot of fun. I appreciate everything you all put together to help support the movie.

MATT

My pleasure.

PAUL finishes signing the last poster and place the Sharpie back on the table. MATT picks up the scattered Sharpies and drops them in his backpack. He turns to PAUL, who is powering up his phone.

MATT

I love your work but, I have to say, my wife is a HUGE fan of yours.

PAUL

That’s so nice to hear. (Pause) You should tell her to get down here and hang.

MATT

Oh, that’s awesome… but she’s at work.

PAUL

Oh, right. (Pause) How about we take some photos that will make her really jealous?
