[the way Robert is acting is unusual, but Veronica has learned to expect the unexpected with him. He's an eccentric and he continues to surprise her every day. She's not entirely sure what he is up to, but her ability to read people is impeded by how taken she instantly is with Cooper.

She's certain she told Robert about her infatuation with him... so he's clearly not jealous...

Her mind is clouded the moment Cooper compliments her. This can't be real. When did this dream become her life? Seems like just yesterday she was sleeping outside a motel in Burbank. ]

I'm not sure about that... im not a compelling movie star like our guest, Mr. Howard.

[Veronica looks back up from beneath her false eyelashes and locks eyes with Cooper.]


Which, by the way, you've been my inspiration to be an actress. I'm where I am because of you.
