Second Act

              Russell Crowe and I were in his hotel room going over the notes he had on the script.  He had some great ideas and I had no problem incorporating them into the second act. After we finished the work we sat around talking and laughing, having a great time. Russ phoned Ron Howard and asked him to join us. We decided to meet at a restaurant in downtown LA.  We had some extra time and Russ decided to take me for a ride on his motorcycle.  We were roaring down the PCH as I held onto him, laid my head back and let the wind whip my hair.  I glanced at the waves splashing and was ecstatic when we stopped at the top of a secluded hill.  We sat on top of a picnic table under a large tree, watching the waves lap the beach and continued our discussion from earlier.  It was amazing how our conversation flowed so easily. 
              Time just flew by and we had to hurry towards our lunch appointment.  Thankfully, Ron didn’t have to wait long as we arrived flushed with excitement from the thrilling ride.  Even though Ron was giving us a questioning look, nothing could diminish the happiness that consumed me. And as Ron offered to option my second script, I almost screamed with delight!
