Holiday "Killer Potatoes" recipe


'What the bleeeeep are Killer Potatoes' you ask? Only the most delicious/deadly thing you will EVER place in your mouth. 
That's what. 
My Hockma makes them during the holidays, and Thanksgiving/Christmas is not complete without a little slice of this marvel. 'What is a Hockma' you ask? It's my grandma, get over it. And stop asking ridiculous questions. 

What it tastes like: 
The top is baked into a crispy cheesy explosion of flavor- but it's the inside that will seriously make you melt. Fluffy Velveeta envelopes potatoes, onions, and bacon. All the flavors really come together into probably the most addicting pleasure bomb ever. Are you prepared for this???

Here is the recipe for your new family tradition:  

KILLER POTATOES

Ingredients
-2 pound bag of frozen hash brown potatoes. Chunky, not shredded
-half of a yellow onion
-half of a package of bacon
-1 pound of Velveeta cheese (don't try with any other cheese, this is our main ingredient)
-1 cup of regular mayonnaise**


**This is the secret ingredient that makes this dish so fluffy and yummy


Ok, now here are the steps:

1. Pre-heat dat oven to 375 degrees, yo.

2. Cook your bacon (half a package) at low/medium heat until it's mostly crispy but still a little soft. It's going in the oven later so keep that in mind. 
*bacon before it's cooked

3. While that's cooking, put the whole bag of frozen potatoes in a casserole dish. I used 13x9

4. Chop your onions if you haven't yet. Make sure they're kind of small pieces. 

5. Bacon is done. Take it out of the pan, onto a plate where you can cut the bacon into smaller pieces. I used meat scissors. DON'T GET RID OF THE BACON GREASE IN THE PAN!

6. Multi-task! Get those onions in the pan with the bacon grease! You don't need any added oil in case you were wild enough to think about that...
Onion stuff continued: cook these beezys until they are sautéed, meaning that they are tender, kind of brown, and see-through. 

7. Multitask again! Or don't, that's ok too. It's cheese time. 
Get your Velveeta into a microwave safe bowl. I cut mine in half. 
It took 3 minutes in the microwave. But just to be safe, take it out once or twice and stir it around, so that it melts evenly. 
*it's hot, kiddos. Be safe, wear protection. :)

8. Measure 1 cup of mayo and then add it to the melted Velveeta. (Keep an eye on your onions in case you forgot about those bad boys)
Mix it real good, yo. 

9. Put your bacon, onions and bacon grease into the casserole dish with the potates. 
Mix dat. 

10. And now: THE CHEESE. 
It might take you a hot minute to make sure ALL the potatoes are mixed with the cheese. But once it's all done, it should look like this:
*no need to grease the pan. And you can even use simple tools to mix the stuff. I just used a fork. 

11. Put it in, baby. Top rack is good. Close the door. That's important. 

12. Let it all hang out for 45-55 mins. Once the cheese on the top has browned a little bit and your home has started smelling like paradise, you know it's done. 

13. Eat it. Restrain from rubbing it all over, and please, share. 

Happy holidays, friends!!!!

I. Love. Music.

Hey readers!
I've decided to share some of my interests and deep connections to music with you.

So here goes!

1. Spotlight by Patrick Stump
I love this song because first of all, Patrick Stump is my favorite singer. He's the frontman of Fall Out Boy. He's also suuuper adorable, so... I like that too. But back to the song. I first heard this song at the beginning of 2011, right before I started making serious plans to follow my dreams and move to Hollywood. 
Important lyrics: "You can be your own spotlight. You can be the star, you can shine so bright. You can be your own spotlight." "A little sweetness keeps just out of reach, compassion is something they just don't teach"

2. Hills and Valleys by The Rocket Summer
This song came to me at the same time as Spotlight, and has the same meaningful idea behind it. Moving to LA and following your dreams. Taking your car and just doing it.
Important lyrics: "Say you're with me, there's gold ahead, there's golden dreams, in life's hills and valleys."

3.  Creep by Radiohead

This was my favorite song when I was 4 years old. This very depressing and melancholy song about not fitting in and being weird spoke to me when I didn't even know what it was about. lol. Now that I'm older it holds a place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood, and because of the lyrics.
Important lyrics: "I don't care if it hurts. I wanna have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice, when I'm not around. You're so very special, I wish I was special, but I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here. I don't belong here"

4. Chocolate by Snow Patrol
This song became my favorite song when I was a junior in High School. I was WAY into the color brown, especially chocolate brown. I bought everything brown. I was like "Oh man, I love chocolate brown. I'm so unique." Lol. Previous to this song, this band came out with their song 'Run' and I was way in love with Gary Lightbody, the main singer. (Typical "Amber type". Lanky, brunette, big nose, sort of goofy lookin'). So you can imagine the intensity of my love for this song when it came out. A song called Chocolate? By Snow Patrol?? With an amazing steady drum beat, and romantic lyrics? This is my all time fave song.
Important lyrics: "This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive" "You're the only thing that I love, scares me more everyday."

5. Laid by Matt Nathanson
I just really love this song. The lyrics are funny. His voice is really cute. It's upbeat and I've liked it since 9th grade. :)

6.  I Don't Love you by My Chemical Romance
If we are talking about me and music, we have to include My Chemical Romance. This is the band I was most obsessed with in my little life I've lived. And when I say obsessed I mean it, haha. I even have a work shirt that I wear to Starbucks that has a coffin emblem and people think it's a Chipotle shirt. I'm getting off topic a little here. This band was a major influence on me for a bunch of reasons. Their theatrical concerts, their themed albums that tell a story- along with characters and paintings to add to it. Their arty and creative music videos, and Gerard Way's style of singing. If you hear me sing, you might be able to tell that his style has rubbed off on me a little bit. I've grown out of their music over the years, but I still love hearing some of their prettier songs like this one.
Important lyrics: "When you go, would you even turn to say 'I don't love you like I did yesterday'?"

7. What A Catch, Donnie by Fall Out Boy
So, I'm not gonna lie, this is my fave Fall Out Boy MUSIC VIDEO, not because of the song, but because stupid Pete Wentz isn't in it, only my boyfriend Patrick Stump. And oh my goodness, he is SO cute in this. He's all lonely on his little boat so he talks to a seagull. And I love me a boy who can play piano. That's my weakness... What was I talking about? Oh ya, music. Sorry, I was just making sure you knew I love Patrick Stump. And he has the best voice ever. Oh ya, music. This album (The very last FoB album ever) is my all time favorite album. I've heard it a zillion and one times, and it's my go-to CD if I'm ever in a bad mood. It makes me happy, it gives me energy, and the songs are really hard to sing, so it warms me up for auditions. All in all, it's the best ever.
Important lyrics: "I've got troubled thoughts and the self esteem to match, what a catch." 

8. Generator 2nd Floor by Freelance Whales
This is a band that matches my style right this very instant. If you want to know "what is Amber's style in music?" It's this band AND Miniature Tigers, which is the next video on the list. But I really like this band because they use different instruments than most bands. Banjo, and xylophone. It makes for a really innocent sound, which I really love :)

9. Cannibal Queen by Miniature Tigers
I appreciate bands so much more when they can tell a story through their music videos. And this is a REALLY good music video. It's quirky, and I love the lead singer's character. He's a lovable weirdo ahha. This is currently my fave band. You can't really go wrong with any of their songs. They're all fun and genuine. The more melancholy ones are good too, they're real and creatively written. 
Important Lyrics: "It's good having somebody good for a change, I've dealt with no good dirty cheats that drove me insane. I'd finally given up on love and romance, if I lay down the sword, I'm giving my innocence. Coming for your heart like a cannibal. Oh she lets me right in and I'm fed till I'm full" "Another pretty girl I would love to admire from a distance but she's here so I'll jump in the fire"

10. And what shall be number 10? Hmm... I'll choose a band I discovered last night. 
Fast Car (originally by Tracy Chapman) by Boyce Avenue
I looooove this guy's voice. They have a whole bunch of great videos on YouTube. Go check them out. I like this one in particular cuz they made it into a sort of love song duet. Sorta. haha. Plus I've just always really loved this song. Great, great cover...
Important lyrics: "I had a feeling that I belong, and I had a feeling I could be someone... be someone"


xoXoxoOo
(hugs, kiss, big hug, little kiss, little hug, little kiss, big kiss, little kiss)

Happy 3rd of July

Happy 3rd of July everybody!

It's a very peaceful night for me tonight. In the city where I'm at right now, they celebrate Independence day on the 3rd instead of the fourth. So I'm out on  my back porch, in the perfect weather, chillin on a rocking chair and enjoying the sights and sounds of this summer night.
Fireworks and firecrackers and bugs. Lots of bugs. June bugs. I never heard of those until I moved to LA. They're beetles that only come during summer time, so everyone loves junebugs because everyone loves summertime.
So hey!
I haven't written in a while, because nothing is new. Well, besides some AMAZING things that a lot of people are confused about.
My movie became approved by SAG. The little webseries that I'm working on called Real Vampires, we submitted our script to SAG so that we could say that our production is a SAG production. Well, they approved it, and now our deal is to fill out a bunch of paperwork. And once that is done I will officially be a producer, writer, director, editor and star of a SAG film. I'm writing this from my point of view, so I haven't mentioned the other people who are part of this who are just as important in making Real Vampires. They're there. So remember that ahha. Once I fill out what's called a "Taft-Hartley" form, I will be SAG eligible!!
What's that? It means that I'm able to be a part of The Screen Actor's Guild. All I have to do is pay a whole bunch of money and then I can get legitimate acting roles in movies and other cool things.

I wish I had more to tell you. Like how I'm going to celebrate Fourth of July by being on a fuckin' BOAT. But my mind has been so stuck on this project that nothing else is even THAT cool to talk about.

I'm still working at Starbucks and I'm writing things. I'm focusing on my health and reading books. I've discovered that being true to myself means staying home a lot of the time and being creative, rather than going out and being around "LA phonies" as I've come to call some people out here. I've also decided my next big step NEEDS to be to take an improv class. I miss it far too much. I miss the people. I miss witty comebacks for all of the lame things I say. I miss being surrounded by super dorky/super awesome funny people who all secretly want you to like them.
Don't get me wrong, normal people are fun too ;)

Oh. Here's some more cool things I did: I went to Knott's Berry Farm with my mom as well as the Fashion District in Downtown LA. And last week Chloe and I went to the beach at some place where I keep forgetting the name. It started with a B.
Junebugs! Stop flying by me!
The beach was fun, but cold. So we went to Disneyland instead lol. Chloe didn't know that there was such a thing as Downtown Disney, which is completely free for 3 hours. So we hella went there. Then we came home and did some graphic design type stuff for Real Vampires.
More like Chloe did it and I gave opinions here and there lol. She's AWESOME at that kind of stuff.

Filming the last parts on the 9th and 10th of July. Then editing. THEN you get to see what we've been up to!

Once again, happy 4th of July everyone. Whatever that means for you. Whether it's "enjoy time with your family!" or "have fun blowing shit up!" Either way, this one'll be a good one I know it.
Night!

ERIN and DAPHNE both PALE with VAMPIRE TEETH sit talking to 
the camera. 
ERIN 
Hi, I’m Erin and this is my friend 
Daphne. 
DAPHNE 
(British accent) 
Hello, hello there!
(a photo on the set of 
Real Vampires. Chloe plays Daphne)

ERIN 
Annnnd, we’re vampires. 
DAPHNE 
It’s pretty cool. Not gonna lie. 
ERIN 
Ya, super cool. We can do super 
cool vampire things. Like... 
DAPHNE 
Like, we can be really pale. Like, 
abnormally pale. 
ERIN 
(Mocking Daphne’s accent) 
And have abnormally troublesome 
teeth. Especially this one, being 
from England. 
(Motions to Daphne) 
DAPHNE 
(Laughing and upbeat) 
Oh, what! Cause English people have 
bad teeth? You’re horrible! Stop 
it. 
ERIN 
You stop it! 
They laugh. 
DAPHNE

Erin and Daphne show the camera the empty FRIDGE and give a 
thumbs up. 
Cut to them sitting talking to the camera. 
ERIN 
I’ve been a vampire for...about 8 
years. 
DAPHNE 
And I’ve been a vampire for...oh 
wait, were you finished? 
ERIN 
Ya. 
DAPHNE 
I don’t want to cut you off. 
ERIN 
No, you’re cool. 
DAPHNE 
(back to talking to 
camera) 
I’ve been a vampire for 12 years. 
So not that long. 
ERIN 
Uhh so old. 
DAPHNE 
(to Erin) 
Get out of here! 
(to camera) 
Not that long. 
ERIN 
And we’re both single. It is 
surprisingly hard, as a vampire, to 
find someone you like enough to.... 
Ok, let’s say you’re getting 
intimate with someone and... 
(to Daphne) 
Help me out here. 
DAPHNE 
It’s really hard not to kill 
someone after you’ve fucked them. 
ERIN 
Exactly. 
DAPHNE 
It’s really hard! And I won’t do 
blowjobs anymore. I just won’t. 
ERIN 
Ouch, ya. I stopped doing those in 
like 2002. 
DAPHNE 
Good for you. Ya, it’s just 
downright painful to watch, isn’t 
it? 
(to camera) 
It’s the teeth, they get in the 
way. 
ERIN 
It’s kind of funny though. In a 
way. 
DAPHNE 
You’re sick. 
Erin laughs. 
INT. GROCERY STORE- DAY 
3 3 
Erin is in the DENTAL AISLE talking to the camera and looking 
at the PRODUCTS. 
ERIN 
So here I am at the store, and I am 
buying whitening strips, beCAUSE, 
no matter how many times I whiten 
my teeth, these ones, well, they’re 
bloodstained. 
(realizes she said that 
loud and whispers) 
They’re bloodstained. So this is a 
necessity. 
She bends over to reach something. 
ERIN 
I always get Crest cuz they’re like 
super potent. 
A GUY in the aisle stares at her ASS and she notices. 
ERIN 
Ok, it is REALLY obvious that you 
were staring at my ass right now. 
GUY 
I wasn’t staring at your ass, 
bitch. 
Erin does the stereotypical vampire hiss and gets really 
close to the guy. 
ERIN 
Don’t fucking call me a bitch! 
A stranger looks over and Erin backs off. 
ERIN 
Ugh, you don’t even know! Ugh! 
Where’s my Crest Whitening Strips?? 
(To camera) 
He’s so lucky we’re in a fucking 
public place. What an asshole. God, 
he like totally ruined my day. 
CAMERAMAN 
Just wait until he goes outside. 
ERIN 
Wha? You want me to? 
EXT. GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT- DAY 
4 4 
Erin is waiting outside the store for the guy. He comes out 
and she runs and tackles him. Sucks his BLOOD. When she’s 
done she leaves him in a BUSH, laughs and walks away. 
INT. HOME OFFICE AREA-NIGHT 
5 5 
Daphne is sitting at a laptop talking to the camera. 
DAPHNE 
The way we get our ‘food’ sort of 
varies. You know, we try not to 
kill people too too often. 
Sometimes you’ll find someone who 
likes you to get blood from them, 
like sort of a volunteer. But I 
personally use them as a last 
resort cuz...they’re bloody weird. 
FADE OUT TO 
FLASHBACK. 
INT. A GIRL’S BEDROOM-NIGHT 
6 6 
A weird gothic appearing GIRL is sat on her bed surrounded by 
CANDLES. Daphne is sat below the bed holding the girl’s 
WRIST. 

DAPHNE 
So I’m just going to pierce here. 
(points to girl’s wrist) 
It will be over before you know it, 
ok? 
GIRL 
(staring at Daphne) 
Uh huh. 
DAPHNE 
Ok, here we go. 
Daphne bites into the girl’s wrist and the girl starts 
moaning. The moaning increases and increases to the point 
Daphne wants to get out of there. 
DAPHNE 
And...we’re done! 
GIRL 
That wasn’t very long. 
Daphne begins to get up and collect her belongings. She moves 
towards the door. 
DAPHNE 
Yes it was. You’ve just lost a lot 
of blood, so you’re judgement of 
time is off. 
GIRL 
Oh. 
DAPHNE 
Ok, bye! 
GIRL 
(confused) 
Erm...byyye 
Daphne walks out the door and shuts it behind her. The girl 
stares into space and breathes deeply. She shudders and 
exhales in a euphoric and creepy manner. 
FADE OUT. 
INT. HOME OFFICE AREA-NIGHT 
7 7 
FADE IN: 
DAPHNE 
So when I do need to look for 
victims, or whatever you wanna call 
it, what I do is I go to the 
personal section on Craigslist. 
Where I find all sorts of strapping 
men. I don’t know if you’ve ever 
been on here, but it’s quite 
entertaining! 
Plays on the computer looking at shots of naked men and their 
private parts over and over, commenting and laughing with the 
camera man. 
INT. LIVING ROOM- DAY 
8 8 
Daphne and Erin are chilling in the living room. Erin is 
reading a BOOK and Daphne is flicking through TV CHANNELS. 
DAPHNE 
Erin, Erin, look, look, look! 
ERIN 
What? What? 
DAPHNE 
Look! Shhh, just look! 
Camera cuts to a view of the Television and you see a TMZ 
type SHOW with PAPARAZZI following a STAR.
(on the set of Real Vampires. 
Robert playing himself)

PAPARAZZI (O.S.) 
Robert, Robert! You’ve snagged the 
role of a lifetime! How do you feel 
about it? 
ROBERT ESSER 
I feel pretty awesome, wouldn’t 
you? 
PAPARAZZI (O.S.) 
Where are you going now? 
ROBERT ESSER 
I...I can’t tell you that, sorry. 
PAPARAZZI 
Come on, talk to us for a sec! 
ROBERT ESSER 
How about you call me on my cell? 
PAPARAZZI (O.S.) 
Ok, what’s your number? 
ROBERT ESSER 
Um, 12345678. 
PAPARAZZI (O.S.) 
Oh COME ON! 
ROBERT ESSER 
Hahaha! 
Robert gets in his CAR and speeds off as the paparazzi knocks 
on the window and tries to continue to talk to him. 
CAMERA CUTS BACK TO DAPHNE 
DAPHNE 
Oh my God, Erin! It’s that guy I 
was telling you about! It’s that 
guy I used to date! Look at him! 
He’s all grown up! He’s so... 
ERIN 
Gorgeous! 
DAPHNE 
NOW he is! 
CAMERA CUTS TO TALKING HEADS SCENE 
EXT. PORCH STEP- DAY 
9 9 
Daphne is talking to the camera looking FRUSTRATED 
DAPHNE 
Robert Esser, in case you don’t 
already know who he is, is an actor 
who is getting a lot of attention 
right now due to being cast as the 
lead in the new Spielburg movie. 
Which is really quite annoying as 
he also happens to be my ex 
boyfriend. We used to date back in 
the late 90s before I became a 
Vampire. 
FADE OUT TO 
FLASHBACK. 
EXT. STREET- DAY 
10 10 
Daphne and Robert WALK and SKIP up the street dressed in 90’s 
CLOTHING being cute and acting in love. He gives her a 
PIGGYBACK and they laugh and joke. 
(Chloe and Robert on the set of Real Vampires.
This is a flashback to when they dated in the late 90's)

FADE OUT. 
EXT. PORCH STEP- DAY 
11 11 
Daphne is STARING into SPACE. 
DAPHNE 
Yeah...he’s really cute now. Hmmm. 
CAMERAMAN (O.S.) 
Well, are you able to contact him? 
DAPHNE 
Hmmm...ya, uh huh, maybe. Yes. 
Well, I have his old phone number. 
Or I could tweet him! Yes, that’s 
what I’ll do! 
CAMERAMAN 
Just call him. That would be really 
cool. 
DAPHNE 
Why would he remember me? That was 
like 12 years ago. You know, how 
about we save that for another day 
(nods head) 
EXT. PARKING LOT- DAY 
12 12 
Parking lot that is surrounded by STORES and a COFFEE SHOP. 
Erin is arguing with a MAD LADY while a STRANGER watches from 
the PATIO of the coffee shop. 
MAD LADY 
I want to see your insurance, cause 
I’m not paying for this! 
ERIN 
I’m not giving you my insurance 
because I didn’t hit your car. 
MAD LADY 
It wasn’t there before I left, and 
now you’re parked right where it 
happened! 
ERIN 
Give me evidence that I hit your 
car, cause right now, I’m looking 
at red paint and I have a BLUE car! 
ERIC the stranger comes running up to the two ladies. 
ERIC 
Excuse me! Hi, um, I don’t mean to 
interrupt, but I was sitting over 
there- and I saw the person who hit 
your car, and it wasn’t her. It was 
somebody else and they drove off. 
So, just wanted to put that out 
there. 
MAD LADY 
Well, what am I supposed to do now? 
ERIC 
I dunno, maybe you could go be mad 
somewhere else? 
MAD LADY 
Fuck you! 
She leaves. 
ERIC 
Just a thought. Sorry. Alright... 
He gives Erin a little nod and goes back to where he was 
sitting before. Erin watches the lady drive off and goes to 
leave herself but then decides to go and thank Eric. 
REAL VAMPIRES - EP. 1 (PILOT)       JUNE 2011 9.
ERIN 
Hey, thank you so much for doing 
that. Thank you. That was really 
nice. 
ERIC 
Hey, no, don’t worry about it. I 
could tell from all the way over 
here that she was a major bitch. So 
you know, no problem. 
ERIN 
Thank you. I mean, who does that? 
Who yells at a person with a blue 
car when you’ve got a dent with red 
paint on it? Obviously the person 
had a red car, right? 
ERIC 
Oh, I don’t know. I didn’t really 
see who hit her car, I just made it 
up to help you out. 
ERIN 
No way! You’re freakin’ awesome. 
What’s your name? 
ERIC 
Eric. 
(They shake hands) 
What’s yours? 
ERIN 
Erin. 
ERIC 
E-R-I-N? 
ERIN 
Yup. 
ERIC 
E-R-I-C 
ERIN 
Whaaaaaat? 
(laughs) 
ERIC 
I don’t know if you’re busy, but I 
happen to know of this really great 
coffee shop and it’s actually not 
too far from here. 
If we walk there now, we could 
probably get there in liiike 
(checks watch) 
10 seconds? Cause it’s that one 
(motions to the coffee 
shop behind him) 
And I was being stupid. 
ERIN 
Ya, ok, sure! I love coffee. 
(When he’s not looking she throws a look to camera that shows 
she’s excited but also that she’s just lied about loving 
coffee as Vampires don’t drink coffee. )
INT COFFEE SHOP- DAY 
13 13 
ERIC 
I already got a coffee, so I’ll 
just get a water or something. But 
you get whatever you want, on me. 
ERIN 
Well, if you’re not getting one, I 
don’t want one either. 
ERIC 
No, you have to get one. You 
already said yes. 
They are now at the counter. The BARISTA sees them. 
BARISTA 
You guys ready to order? 
ERIN 
He just wants a water... 
ERIC 
And she’s getting something too. 
What do you want? 
ERIN 
I’m ok, really. 
ERIC 
She’ll have a coffee. The biggest 
size. Is that ok? 
ERIN 
You’re super sweet. 
BARISTA 
$2.15 
ERIC 
What can I say? Hey, you had a 
rough day, you know? It’s my 
pleasure. 
Erin SMILES and tries not to show her teeth. They walk over 
to the handoff station. 
BARISTA 
Largo coffee! 
They collect the coffee and sit down at a table. 
ERIN 
Mmm, smells so good. Oh, one sec 
I’m going to put some cream and 
sugar in. 
ERIC 
Oh yeah, go for it. 
(smiles) 
Erin walks over to the condiment bar and the camera catches 
her dumping all the coffee into the TRASH. She eyes the 
camera, then looks to Eric and smiles. She pretends to STIR 
her drink, and SIP it. 
Erin walks back over to the table. They get to know each 
other, laughing together. All the while, Erin pretends to 
drink her coffee. 
Cut to them saying BYE and leaving the coffee shop. 
EXT. PARKING LOT- DAY 
14 14 
ERIN 
Thank you so much for saving me 
today. And for coffee. 
ERIC 
You are very, very welcome. 
(smiles charmingly) 
ERIN 
Ok, so have a good rest of your 
day. 
ERIC 
Oh for sure, you too. Bye Erin. 
They hug then separate. Erin gets into her car. Has a moment. She 
realizes something. 
ERIN 
PAUL!!! 
CAMERAMAN 
Ya? 
ERIN 
I forgot to give him my number! 
Ohmigosh. Hurry! 
CAMERAMAN 
What do you want me to do? 
ERIN 
Where’s a paper? 
CAMERAMAN 
I don’t have any paper! 
ERIN 
Hurry! 
They find a paper and WRITE down her number. Paul runs and 
catches up to Eric who is about to turn his CAR on. He rolls 
down his WINDOW. Paul hands him the number. Eric smiles. 
ERIC 
Thanks man. 
Cut to cameraman getting closer to Erin’s car, then getting 
into the PASSENGER seat. 
ERIN 
You gave it to him? 
CAMERAMAN 
Ya. 
ERIN 
And, what did he say? 
Just then she gets a TEXT MESSAGE from Eric. She reads it, 
smiles and shows it to the camera. 
It reads: Dear pretty girl, what are you doing Saturday? - 
Eric.
