Bruce：Fantastic dinner, Bree. This was a great idea.
Bree: Well, I just wanted to get you together with Tom here. I thought you two mighthit it off.
Bruce：Yeah. Tom, Bree says you used to be quite the ad wiz.
Tom: Oh, I don't know.
Lynette: He's being modest. He was the best.
Bruce：Good, because I'm looking for someone to head up a new division.
Bree: I'm going to put some coffee on. Orson, would you give me a hand? Let these three chat.
Bruce：So do you think you have any interest in getting back in the game?
Tom: I don't know. The timing's a little weird.
Bruce：How so?
Tom: I don't know.
Lynette: Well, Tom was just running a very successful restaurant, and he just sold it at a handsome profit. So he's waiting for the right opportunity. You might have to do a little selling here, Bruce.
Bruce：I guess the good ones are always the hardest to land.
Lynette: Yeah
Bruce：Let megive it a shot. We represent a small stable of elite nonfiction authors from all over the world. So you'd be working closely with those writers to come up with creative approaches to selling their books.
Lynette: That sounds...amazing.
Tom: I don't know. Are there more potatoes?
Lynette: You can have mine. Stop saying, "I don't know."
Tom: Sounds like there's a lot of traveling. I'm not, you know, really big on living out of a suitcase.
Bruce：Even to do two weeks at the book fair in Paris while you stay at a five-star hotel?
Lynette: Paris?
Tom: Like France?
Lynette: Yes, like the greatest city in the world.
Bruce：Gee, I'm getting Lynette excited. Too bad you don't have any advertising experience.
Lynette: Actually, I have 12 years of experience.
Bruce：Really?
Lynette: Yeah. I was account executive for eight years, v.p. for four more after that, and by the way, I wrote my graduate thesis on the rise of the nonfiction novel. I know. So what kind of starting salary are we talking about?
Tom: Lynette, can I see you for a sec?
Lynette: Okay. Bruce, could you hold that thought? I'm gonna be right back.
Bree: Well, we're on pins and needles. How's it going?
