Page 104 of How to Kiss a Movie Star
Brody:Yep. Kate said the same thing. She says Audrey is probably gun-shy. She needs to know you see her for HER. And not just as a celebrity girlfriend.
Flint:I do not see her as a celebrity girlfriend.
Brody:Hi! This is Kate. I know that’s not how you see her, but so far, all your big gestures have been about what she’s doing for YOU. Attending your premiere, walking the red carpet, posing for your Instagram photos. What have you done for HER?
Brody:Okay. Giving the phone back now. I’m done.
Flint:Oh man. That’s…
Brody:THAT’S MY WIFE, Y’ALL. She’s smart.
Lennox:Tatum here. Typing one-handed because I’m breastfeeding. But YES. Listen to Kate. Do something for her that lets her know you care about her life, too. And your relationship will never be JUST about your status as a celebrity.
Perry:How’s the baby? Is she so big? I swear, they grow so fast at that age.
Flint:Lila, did you steal Perry’s phone? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS GROUP CHAT? No more breastfeeding and baby talk. Go find your own thread.
Flint:Actually, wait. Don’t leave. I think you guys might be able to help me more than my idiot brothers can.
Brody:YES!! I’m back in control. Let us help. We love you. We love Audrey. We want this to work.
Perry:Why don’t you start by telling us what you love about her? <3
Lennox:Ohhh yes! Good idea.
Flint:Okay. She’s brilliant. It’s killer sexy.
Perry:Excellent first answer!
Flint:I also love her authenticity. She is who she is, and she doesn’t equivocate about it.
Lennox:This is important. Especially because you’re famous. Having a partner who has a strong sense of self matters. What else?
Flint:She’s gorgeous. Like, knock the breath out of me beautiful. She’s the person I want to tell whenever anything good happens, but I also want to talk to her when something really sucks. I just…want her to be my person.
Brody:Sigh. <3
Perry:<3 <3 <3
Lennox:I’m literally crying right now!
Flint:Stop with the exclamation points and heart emojis or I’m making you give the phones back to your husbands.
Perry:Flint, you don’t really need our help. Do you know why you’re a good actor? You have high emotional intelligence. You get how people feel, and you translate that into how you act.
Brody:Ohhh, that’s so true, Lila.
Lennox:Which means you know her, Flint. You know what she needs.
Brody:But also, maybe hire some female security. If you’re going to have security people around all the time, might be nice if she has someone who can also be her friend.
Flint:Thanks, y’all.
Perry:We really like her, Flint. Good luck. Let us know if you need us again. <3
Brody:You can do it! Win her heart! <3
Lennox:<3 <3 <3
