“Hey, Penny, how’s it going ?” After chatting with Jeffrey and Jauests

Penny Marshall fully winked at the people she ith, ere tactfully enough to leave “Still the sa a lot of script offers, but none that could satisfya break Not everyone can be like you, shooting a second movie so soon after the first one”

Eric laughed: “It’s not like I have a choice, so ive theain has ht ? Looks like it’s only a matter of time before it passes the 100 millionyour record any time soon”

Penny was used to the compliment, but still said: “Ha, speak for yourself ! Ho and made 24 millionlast week alone”

“Alright, if you guys keep coet nauseous” James Brooks suddenly interrupted: “Eric, I need to speak with Penny for a bit…”

“Sure, no problem” Eric nodded and headed somewhere else

The get-together came to an end and Eric stopped Kapoor as about to leave: “Kapoor, co I need to discuss with you”

Kapoor nodded his head and followed Eric to his study on the second floor The roos on the cork board were replaced by the handwritten storyboard of Pretty Woman

Kapoor was somewhat startled by the messiness of the rooely contrasted with the scene he was now faced with

Eric put away several files into a folder then back on a shelf before explaining: “This is where I work, the help isn’t allowed here, thus the chaos”

“Doesn’t Drew live here ? She could help”

Eric gave a chair to Kapoor and chuckled: “You’re kidding, right ? Besides, I clean up some times”

“Sigh, you’re too good to her”

Eric shrugged without answering, he put a tape into the tape recorder and pressed the play button: “Kapoor, listen to this”

It started with a fast-beat, and soon the singing started:

It must have been love

But it’s over now

Lay a whisper on my pillow,

Leave the winter on the ground

I wake up lonely, there’s air of silence

In the bedroom and all around

After a fewand Eric asked: “What do you think ?”

Kapoor said: “I honestly don’t know much about music, but I liked it, it has a lot of appeal Why did we listening to this ?”

“I intend to use it as one of the songs in Pretty Woht about UTA’s future ?”

Kapoor nodded: “Of course I have Since we’ve signed Al Pacino and if Pretty Woman succeeds, both he and Julia Roberts will becoency with a stable foothold in the industry”

Eric asked: “Have you ever thought about signing other types of artists ?”

“You ers ?”
