He never said anything he didn't mean.

I would've taken him up on it, but I'm not a good actor.

You're a lot like him.

It's a skill, like anything else. Do you want to know the very first piece of acting advice I ever received?

I heard a rumor about you.

You've been talking about me?

Unavoidable. People talk about you at me.

Alas, if only I could dim my own light to spare you from having these conversations.

It's not so bad. Sometimes I learn interesting things.

What are you doing tonight?

And what did you learn this time?

New show this evening. You've got some of Lundegaard over to check utilities, and a Prescott responder wants to build rat traps. I'll have my hands full being charming.

Please tell me what the show is.

After all the work we've put into making it a surprise? Come on.

The fact that refuse to say what it is makes me feel like I won't like it.

Tell me the rumor first.

You have something in common with Gideon Ames. A mutual friend.

Right, of course. [...] Gideon knew the man who founded our theater company. Funny coincidence.

You were working for a high school drama teacher?

Carnelian wasn't teaching high school when I met him. Although he'd often say managing us was worse than trying to manage teens.

That, I can buy.

What's the show? I won't tell anyone.

Blade Runner. Part 1. Covering the long talky scenes in the first half, ending with the big fight with Leon.

Blade Runner is a 100 minute movie, Edgar.

Our writer did some punching up. Even if people hate it, it's going to provoke conversation for the second half.

~~And how are you going to~~ Fine. Please don't make any allusions to the rats.

Can you handle something for me?

Fine, but if a rat comes on stage, we may be forced to improv.

What is it?

Would you feel better if we had a sniper in the audience?

Deal with the Lundegaard guys today.

The last time I performed under such conditions, I was under NDA by Disney.

Not a fan of Roswell's people?

Ha, ha.

This wind farm deal is going to take a lot of time and energy. I don't want to set a precedent that I'll be overseeing every step of the process myself. [...] And no, I don't like Roswell, since you're going to ask. He was a contractor. If we're going to build the stage, I imagine he'll be taking point on it. So, that can be your project.

Gideon seems nice, though. Is having a mutual friend going to cloud your judgement with him?
