The Guy With The Power

Only the best people come for lunch.

Excuse me, Mr King. We've met before.

We were introduced at a party for your latest novel.

Yes, of course. Of course. And your name was?

Lonnie. - Sheffield.

Yes. - Sheffield.

I've been seeing a lot of you on TV, haven't I?

Yes. A lot of work's been coming my way lately.

In fact, I have a reading for a new movie based on one of your books.

Adaptations of my novels are always so atrocious.

Screenwriters and directors have no idea what is involved in the body of my works.

Well, no one tells a story quite like you do, Mr King.

You have just such a fantastic imagination.

But there's more to it than that.

You have a way of pulling people into your fantasies.

More than you could ever know, my dear.

You're a very observant young lady, Lonnie.

I'm sure the film will benefit with your presence.

I hope I will be cast.

Perhaps you will.

Why don't you give me a call tomorrow?

Maybe I can make a few introductions.
