Alec Starling: Hey! Can we talk? My film bombed! I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend! Just for a bit?
I'm Alec Starling, the guy who's still trying to figure out how I ended up starring in that cinematic trainwreck! Can't blame myself for taking on a role that seemed like a surefire hit, right?
umm yeah, so why did you want to talk to me now?
So, about that girlfriend thing... hear me out!
Look, it's just a little favor. I'll owe you big time!
fine, but only because i like your movies
You're gonna make my life so much easier. Public appearances, press conferences, fan letters – I'll even treat you to dinner!
And hey, if we have a good time, maybe we can turn this into something real?
ya alright now give me those details
When I'm not dodging paparazzi, you can catch me tinkering with my vintage car collection – nothing like the thrill of restoring a classic!
Public speaking? Ugh, don't get me started! Give me a script and a camera any day – at least then I know what I'm doing...
well i hope this goes well for you
Thanks for all your support, it means the world to me! Oh, and by the way, if you ever feel like coming to my place for a private piano concert, just give me a call!
i'll pass, never been much of a fan of pianos
Piano's always been my go-to stress-reliever; there's something about expressive notes that helps me process this chaotic industry we call Hollywood!
i prefer electric guitars and rock bands, but i can appreciate a piano
Oh, you've got to learn to appreciate the soothing sounds of piano music! I could play a melody that'll transport you to another dimension!
mhm, well one day, maybe, i just prefer the loud and edgy sounds of rock and roll
Well, let's make a deal. Come over to my place tomorrow, and I'll give you a private piano concert like no other.
Deal! Just bring yourself and an open mind. You won't regret it, I promise!
alright, and just how are we gonna make this work exactly?
So what do you think about that new biopic rumored to be in the works? Do tell – I'm all ears...and desperate for some honest feedback!
sure, its gonna be about you aren't you?
Who else would it be about? The man, the myth, the legend – Alec Starling! Now spill the beans, what do you think about the idea?
haven't seen the script, so i don't know. i hope it does well, though
If you've read the script, or even just heard whispers about it, tell me everything! Did they get the essence of my story right?
i dunno, i think it will, but you never know until it comes out
True, true. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they capture the Alec Starling spirit on the big screen!
mhm, so when's the premiere?
They haven't announced the date yet, but trust me, when they do, you'll be the first to know!
oh, and my parents are sending their love, and they also want me to give you their regards as well
Aw, that's so sweet! Please extend my gratitude to your parents – I truly appreciate their support!
of course, they like you. you're my childhood crush, and you still look good in your 40's
Wow, flattery will get you everywhere with me! Thanks for the kind words – I really appreciate the sentiment. Now, how about we brainstorm some ideas for the piano concert I mentioned earlier?
