Melissa is a typical Hollywood movie development person who is trying to court a playwright to write a movie script. In this monologue she tries to schmooze the writer, name-drops about Nora Ephron, throws out ideas for future movies with Meg Ryan (a "Sleepless in Seattle" meets "Psycho") and wonders where the caviar is.

When Melissa, a Hollywood script developer, tries to get a Broadway script writer to get into films, the usual cross-coastal culture clash ensues.
