Summary
The guy who showed up before service was some young guy in his early twenties, a gym rat with neatly coiffed blond hair.
“Does an Italian DILF work here?” He motioned above Carmy’s hand with a flat hand. “Yea high, super blue eyes?”
It took Carmy embarrassingly long to catch up. He just frowned, chugging until— Christ, he meant Richie. Carmy said the first thing that came to mind.
“He’s Polish.”

Summary
“Right, Charlie,” Mitchell says. “Your agent sent me through the scripts, but she was a little vague about the target accent. Do you know exactly what it is we’re aiming for? Beyond ‘British’.”
Just aim away from whatever the hell it was I did last time, Charlie thinks, and we’ll be golden.When a perpetually panic-stricken Hollywood ingenu hires an uber-competent dialect coach, he's hoping for a crash course in Received Pronunciation and an urgent bit of brand rehabilitation. Instead, he gets an excruciating workplace crush and a head full of X-rated dreams. But he's an actor, right, so he'll probably be able to play it cool?
Not bloody likely.

Summary
They’re in Delray Beach, Florida in February of 2011 when Patrick talks to Art for the first time in three years.
“My doubles partner sprained his ankle,” is what he says, standing in the tunnel to the locker rooms, feet bare in slides and hands twisted up in the hem of his t-shirt. “I was hoping you could tap in.”

Summary
“I’m going to sue you for workplace sexual harassment,” Arthur tries one night at a bar, without much hope.
“Well, it would certainly be an interesting challenge for your barrister,” Eames allows. “Seeing as we have no legal workplace, I’m wanted in half of Europe, and last I checked you’ve got an Interpol red notice out on you. But sure, absolutely – give it a go. Never know unless you try, and all that.”
