"Dry Martini, please." Both ladies respond laughing.

"Very well, I will be back with your drinks in a minute."

Tina looks at Bette, "Are you as nervous as I am?"

"Yes, it’s been a long time since I was on a date."

"Well, lets just relax and enjoy. There doesn’t need to be any pressure, on either of us. See anything on the menu you would like?"

"Ladies, here are you drinks. Have you decided what you would like to order?"

"I think we have." The Ladies order their food and start to enjoy some small talk.

"So Tina, what brought you to L.A?"

"A job offer, I was doing o.k. in New York but the L.A offer came with a promotion and a heavety raise."

"And what exactly do you do?"

"I am an executive producer. I start out by picking a script, which means I read about 50 to hundred and hopefully one turns out to be a gem. Than it goes in front of the board for final approval. If it is approved, I am than responsible for getting it started, getting a director, cast, and etc. Than I oversee everything to make sure everything runs smoothly, right up until it is completed."

"Sounds exhausting."

"It is but I am sure being the curator at the CAC must be exhausting as well. Instead of scripts you are dealing with pieces of art, picking and choosing what you want displayed, looking for that gem."

"I never thought of it like that but yes it can be exhausting, especially dealing with stubborn artists."

"Just like I deal with stubborn actors."

"Ladies, here is your orders. I hope you enjoy. Can I get either of you another drink?"

Bette orders another dry martini and Tina decides on a lemon water, "I am driving after all."

Both ladies settle in to their meals, enjoying some more small talk and not so subtle glances.

"Oh Bette, you call that a weird date? I can top that easily."

"Really, this I have to hear this!"

"I Once dated a vampire and got bitten."

"You have got to be kidding."
