L — I like it if they already had a relationship at one point. Because then you don't have
to build it.
G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known
this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.
L — And he was forty-two.
G — He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange
relationship.
S — She had better be older than twenty-two.
G — He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she
was only twelve.
G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.
S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.
G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting.
Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and
he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was
madly in love with him and he…
S — She has pictures of him.
G — There would be a picture on the mantle of her, her father, and him. She was madly
in love with him at the time and he left her because obviously it wouldn't work out. Now
she's twenty-five and she's been living in Nepal since she was eighteen. It's not only that
they like each other, it's a very bizarre thing, it puts a whole new perspective on this
whole thing. It gives you lots of stuff to play off of between them. Maybe she still likes
him. It's something he'd rather forget about and not have come up again. This gives her
a lot of ammunition to fight with.
