The Special Relationship

JEN

We have a special relationship.

TOM

How do you mean?

JEN

Creatively.

TOM

Which means what?

JEN

You should cast me in your movies.

TOM

Oh okay.

JEN

You don't think so?

TOM

What is special about it?

JEN

We have a connection, like, a special understanding.

TOM

So I should cast you in my movies?

JEN

Yes.

TOM

And what will you do for me?

JEN

Act in them.

TOM

That's very nice of you.

JEN

But it is a special relationship. Don't forget I introduced you to that guy at the BBC.

TOM

So what?

JEN

So you should put me in your movies.

TOM

There are also many other actors.

JEN

But they don't understand you like I do.

TOM

Back in the old days; women used to sleep with directors to get a role, now all we get is an insincere compliment.

JEN

That's really hurtful. Don't you believe me?

TOM

As an actor? It's a little forced, if I'm honest.

JEN

How can you say something like that to me?

TOM

I can say anything I want.

JEN

Why?

TOM

Because we have a special relationship.
