Easiest. Audition. Evah

Today I met with an old aquaintance who was looking for someone at the last minute for his short film, since scheduling changes forced him to recast. I met with him today to talk about it, and it kind of went like this over lunch:

Director: "Here's the script, the story goes like this, read a little for me will ya, here's a map to the shooting location, how's your lunch? I'll get the bill."

Me: "Um, just out of curiousity, are you talking to anyone else about this part? You bought me lunch, so I definately won't be offended if you are."

Director: "No, just you. See you Saturday."

Boom!

Why can't they all go like that?
