LIPSKY:
I know. Right. Bye.
He hangs up and looks out the window.
64 E/I. HUNGRY MIND BOOKSTORE - ST PAUL - 1996 - NIGHT 64 A cool, independent bookstore [now defunct]. Patty escorts the Davids in. People who have begun to show up for the event recognize David; some gawk, some smile. David’s friends, two attractive women around his age, JULIE (petite, brunette) and BETSY (tall, striking), surprise him with their attendance.
DAVID:
I can’t believe you guys showed up!
JULIE:
We wouldn’t miss this, are you kidding?
DAVID:
Gluttons for punishment, both of you.
They greet and hug David. Introductions, handshakes.
DAVID:
This is David Lipsky. A reporter from Rolling Stone.
JULIE:
Oh, wow, hi.
DAVID:
This is Julie... 43.
LIPSKY:
Hi, Julie.
DAVID:
And this is Betsy.
BETSY:
Hi.
LIPSKY:
Nice to meet you.
DAVID:
Betsy and I went to grad school together, in Tucson.
LIPSKY:
Nice. (to Julie) How do you know David?
DAVID:
She wrote me a fan letter.
JULIE:
I did, I was the books editor at City Pages and I wrote him a fan letter, that’s right.
DAVID:
Julie has worked with a whole lot of writers
JULIE:
So I’m discriminating.
DAVID:
Exactly. And we discovered that we actually kind of like each other as people.
JULIE:
Indeed.
DAVID:
That’s how I met Jon Franzen: I wrote him a fan letter. Writers are pushovers when it comes to flattery.
You could try it sometime.
66 INT. BOOKSTORE/MANAGER'S OFFICE - ST PAUL - 1996 - NIGHT 66 The room, crammed with books and an old sofa, doubles as a kind of “green room” for visiting writers.
