DANNI (28, fierce, returning from a "failed marketing career in New York") stands outside No. 24. She holds a half-burned lasagne. Her expression is unreadable hard .
PAUL ROBINSON (70s, devil in a tailored suit) sips mineral water. Across from him, a new character, JAX (20s, tattooed, mystery) leans in. JAX (whisper-shouting) You sold the Lassiter’s penthouse to a ghost. PAUL (smirk, pause, eyebrow micro-twitch) It’s called a blind trust , son. Ask your mother. Jax’s actor flubbed line twice. Third take, he accidentally spits. Paul’s actor (Stefan) stays in character, wipes face with napkin, says "That’s in the edit." Crew laughs. It stays in.
