D100 => 16
She looked at the script and was scrawling through the stuff, adding to her lines and otherwise doing great things to the script. But instead, you looked at things that were interesting. "Debbie, I think that there were-"
"Bruce I don't want to hear it." She said with a smile. "As much as I believe that you are one hundred percent on board, and want to coach me through some of the scenes, I have already done that with Carrie and others." She said as she quietly continued on.
"But that's not the point. I want to make sure I know what you are doing." You then looked over the shoulder to see the script.
You liked what you saw. "Can you do that?" You asked. "Because it's been awhile-"
"Of course." She said with a smile. "You and Carrie showed me that the words I told them were not needed. Now let me show you what I can do with them."
Reward: +20 to SP and Chemistry to Debbie.

D100 => 14
You looked at him and frowned. "How the hell did Carrie-"
"I owed her a favor, you know Blowout?"
"Yeah, I do, but you earned that?"
"No, I didn't. Carrie had to help me."
You frowned. "But- why?"
"Brian didn't want to use me because he thought I was too expensive, and he was right." John flashed a smile. You frowned at that. "What, I have to eat?"
"You know I can make you a really good deal?"
"Yeah, but you weren't there." He said.
"But what about this?" You said.
"Carrie writes a good script." He replied. "And I'm more inclined to follow it, seeing that she almost won an Oscar."
You nodded. "Very Well. Just help me out here."
"I will."
Reward: +20 to SP and Chemistry to John.

-[X]Vincents Idea: So Vincent has never been the best idea guy, but he wanted to make things a little more… realistic for Hollywood and said that he had a story he wanted to use. DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 40
He smiled as he looked at it. "Well, I can say that…I want to be more of a bastard than that. We need to add a scene where he trys to intimidate her."
A moment later you frowned. "Um, in what way?"
"You'll see." He said. "I remembered some story of a Hollywood hack who wanted some no name to take a role or something."
Reward:+20 to SP and Chemistry to Vincent. The quality of the film increased.

D100 => 52
"Hn, you know kid, you never really struck me as the kid who upended Hollywood."
"And what do I strike you as?" You asked.
"You know, someone who gives a damn about everyone." He said. "Most people don't and that is why they fail in this town."
You smiled. "Yeah, well I succeeded because I had my friends and I don't give a shit about upending the status quo, because people want change in the status quo, they want good stories they can be entertained by, and not some schlock that won't. Or talks down to them… or exploits them."
"Well then, I'm glad Carrie chose me, it might actually be fun."
Reward:+20 to SP and Chemistry to Frank. +20 to the audience and Critic rolls when released.

D100 => 12
When Evelyn came back, she wondered to you. "Why was there a gift basket in my trailer?"
"You didn't like it?" You said. "I can get you something you do like, but you need to tell me-"
"What the hell is this you are playing at Bruce? Favoritism? You trying to do something-"
"I want you to feel welcomed." You said.
"What?"
"You are working for me, and I've heard you did not feel welcomed on your previous shoots, so I'm trying to welcome you."
"Why?"
"Because I believe you are one helluva actress who just keeps getting passed over. So… Welcome, and stop thinking about bad luck, there is an Irishman on this set, we have only good luck here."
