[He straightens up, resuming eating the burger and looking thoughtful.]

What about you? Tell me something about yourself. Your hobbies?

Fighting is fun. I love hard rock and glam metal. I like to dance and play the piano. Self-taught.

You'll have to show me sometime. I'd like to hear you play.

Sure. Just tell me what you wanna hear so I can learn it first.

You got a favorite piece or song to play?

Probably 'Born in the USA'.

Classic rock for sure.

I like the theatrical ones. Like Alice Cooper. The concept album of Welcome To My Nightmare is a masterpiece.

Haven't gotten deep into Alice Cooper but I'll give it a shot for you.

How about you? You play any instrument?

Nah. Music isn't my field. My creativity is in other mediums. Writing. Drawing. Sculpting monsters for effects and make-up. All of that going into my film work.

But I got talents in other areas too. Like engineering and chemistry.

Damn.

You're like a nerdy fucking octopus of talents, man. And I mean that in the best way.

I didn't even mention that I also do stunts and directing.

[He chuckles.]

Very much a Renaissance man.

[He takes a big bite out of his burger, smiling after chewing.]

A one-man show.

Almost.

[He lifts his glass of coke and does a gesture of cheers toward Chris before taking a drink.]

Maybe with a little help now...

[Chris salutes with his own glass of coke.]

Together, we're a fucking orchestra.

You know, you could contribute to the score for my film.

Can you compose?

I wish, man.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

[He shrugs.]

You can still play, like, the main theme or something. We'll figure something really cool out. Something memorable.

I bet, dude. There won't be a part of this production that's not awesome.

There are a couple of people I know who might be good for the musical side of things. Lestat de Lioncourt who's a professional piano player, and a Tobias whose last name I don't know but is very opinionated about music.

Sounds good. We'll have to get everyone together and talk about things. Get to creating.

It's fun making something new, isn't it?

I don't think I ever really did that before. At least not with other people.

It can be. Often I've been alone when developing and carrying out new projects but it's been good collaborating. And I'm really glad you're on the team now, Chris.

I'm really glad to be on your team.

I can't fucking wait to get together and start shooting. I never really thought about acting before, but I'm really into the idea now.

You can practice being sexy and menacing at the same time.

Oh yeah?

[He lowers his voice, puts some of that deep menace in his voice.]

You think I got that in me, Beck?

I think you can pull it off.

[He's looking very steadily and directly at Chris with admiration in his eyes.]

And you can call me Quentin... if you prefer.
