"Well, Sum is obviously fine. She's successful. Beyond successful."

"Yeah, that's true, Brennan agreed."

"Really, we did her a favor. She was much too serious about her boyfriend. And she was such a sappy bleeding heart -- such a cliche', wanting to help the poor and downtrodden."

"I'm glad she never found out it was us," Brennan said. "I think about that sometimes. Sum would have been so angry. It would have split Zeta apart. We could have gotten into trouble with Zeta or the university."

He's especially interested in actors who may have been flying under the radar. People who aren't yet well known but who have high potential. For me, you were the first person who came to mind."

"That's interesting." Brennan was flattered and her interest was strongly piqued. She had thought about the possibility of somehow auditioning with the film industry. But the idea had remained abstract. She had yet to make the leap and try out. She had been so busy with the theater. The possibility of a series had never crossed her mind.

"That's so nice of you to think of me Diana."

"Not at all. You're someone who's developing into a solid theater performer. You deserve a chance. It would obviously be a different platform than live performance. That might take some getting used to. You've just done theater so far, correct?"

"Yes, that's right. I've thought about film before but haven't pursued it actively. Who is the director? And why...is this someone you know?"
