Late at night, just before OyPizza closes, Mike arrives with two bodyguards. Security at the door turns them away until Guy comes out, recognizes him immediately, and welcomes them in. Mike orders only tea with lemon and leaves a $100 tip.
After a short chat with Guy, Mike is about to leave when he notices the teenagers in the corner. Why are they here so late? They are rehearsing, Guy explains. His nephew, Ethan Miller, is among them.
Mike asks what they are singing and whether he can listen. They know he is a star. They sing Hold On for him, simply to show him their song. He loves it and asks where it came from: Aviva wrote the music; Ethan wrote the words.
Mike wants to sing it too. Later, he will perform it with his own melody. This is the beginning of their friendship, and he will help them further along the way.
In the story, the two Hold On recordings above represent the Sharpies’ performance and Mike’s later version. Character songwriting credits describe the fictional story.
What would they say?
Help write the dialogue. What does Guy say when he recognizes Mike? How does Mike ask to hear the song? What do Aviva and Ethan say when he asks who wrote it? Who speaks first after the last note?
Write one line or a short exchange for Mike, Guy, Ethan, Aviva, the other Sharpies, or the security staff.
Guy and his wife Kate own OyPizza, the café where the Sharpies come to rehearse. He always calls her Katya. His favorite song is America My Love, and he plays it from his phone three to five times a day. Sometimes the repetition becomes funny.
In which scenes should he put it on? Where is he, who is there, and what has just happened? What makes this particular interruption funny, touching, or revealing?
This is the creator’s character idea. Your proposed moments are suggestions, not approved scenes.
