Page 103 of How to Kiss a Movie Star
Flint:For real?
Perry:You’re a good actor, man. But not that good.
Lennox:Olivia made us watch the red-carpet footage from the premiere.
Brody:It made me throw up in my mouth a little. What are you wearing, Flint? Oh, you look so handsome tonight, Flint. BARF.
Flint:I was wearing Tom Ford. Thanks for asking. Brushed wool, lined in silk. I promise it felt as good as it looked. Anyone else ever wear a Tom Ford tuxedo?
Brody:Tom Ford. That’s the bargain brand you rent from Men’s Warehouse, right? Like, for prom and stuff?
Lennox:Hahaha. Brody’s on one…
Flint:Can we please get back to the very important subject of my love life?
Perry:Yes. Right. You love Audrey.
Lennox:Does she love you back? Are we celebrating here? Or commiserating?
Flint:Not celebrating yet. Things are still…tenuous?
Perry:Explain tenuous.
Flint:She’s kinda been through it. The same photographer who accosted her in LA followed her to Silver Creek and showed up at her lab. Nate was with her. She’s fine. Just a little freaked out.
Lennox:Yeah. That’s a lot.
Flint:And maybe not sure if it’s worth it, I guess?
Flint:She said she’s worried about her life getting swallowed up in mine.
Brody:I mean, your life is a lot. But it isn’t ALWAYS a lot. Things will probably calm down after the initial freak-out over you being in a relationship.
Flint:Have you guys ever resented my fame?
Flint:I realize there are a million ways you could make fun of me for asking that question, but this time I need a serious answer.
Perry:I was a little annoyed when I had to hire security because your fans wouldn’t stop sneaking onto the farm to take pictures with Mom’s goats. But I didn’t resent you.
Brody:You’re family, man. And we’re proud of you. If we have to deal with a little extra attention every once in a while, it just means we make fun of you harder that week.
Lennox: Blending two lives into one is never easy. You guys will figure it out.
Flint:If she loves me back.
Brody:Have you told her how you feel?
Flint:Not yet. She asked for a little bit of breathing room.
Lennox:Ohhh. That’s not good.
Brody:Don’t freak him out. It’s probably nothing.
Flint:Probably? What does probably mean?
Brody:Actually, I think we need to survey the wives here. Hang on.
Perry:Lila says wanting breathing room COULD mean she’s not interested, but it could also mean she’s VERY interested but also VERY overwhelmed. She says having met Audrey, her vote is for the second one.
