DAY ONE

[Louis' Office, 12:45 p.m]

Louis: "I don't photograph men.. that's just weird."

Niall: "Come on Lou, just give him a chance. I heard he's really pretty."

Louis: (scoffs) "Guys aren't pretty Niall.. only women are pretty.."

Niall: "That's not true.. Ryan Gosling is pretty." (chuckles) "Come on.. Liam said this guy could be the next big thing."

Louis: "How have I never met this guy before?"

Niall: "I haven't either. Liam says he's really shy. He just moved here from Manchester to pursue his modeling career."

Louis: (snorts) "I just don't know if I can photograph a GUY."

Niall: "Why? cause boys are sooo scary.." (teases)

Louis: "Shut up." (walks over to his desk, sits down) "This is my first time ever photographing a man, I'm just a little nervous.."

Niall: "There's nothing to be nervous about. You're straight, he's straight. Just think of it as 2 dudes hanging out!"

Louis: "Dudes don't photograph each other in just their.." (gulps) "underwear.."

Niall: "He's only gonna be wearing only his underwear? Why?"

Louis: "When he emailed me, he said he wanted some pictures for his portfolio. He said they needed to be.. topless." (shakes head) "and bottomless.."

Niall: (laughs loudly) "Ok.. that's a little weird."

Louis: "See I told you it was weird!" (grabs phone) "I'm calling him right now and cancelling."

Niall: (takes phone from him) "You're being ridiculous! He's a paying customer right?"

Louis: (shrugs) "Yeah.."

Niall: "Then just photograph the dude in his undies and call it a day! It's not that big of deal!"

Louis: (takes phone back, hangs it up) "You're right. I'm being stupid."

Niall: "Yup." (smiles) "So when will this guy be here?"

Louis: "He said he'd be here at 1." (looks down at his watch) "Oh, great.. that's in 10 minutes!"

Niall: "Dude chill out. He's just another client." (pauses) "I just don't understand why you're getting all worked up about this?"

Louis: (defensive) "I'm not getting worked up about anything. Shut up."

Niall: (shrugs) "Okay.."

[Harry's apartment, 12:45 p.m]

Harry: "Okay.." (turns around, wearing a blue blazer) "How do I look?"

Liam: "Like a million bucks.."

Harry: "Are you sure?" (twirls around) "I don't want to look too flashy."

Liam: "You look fine, Harry.." (sighs) "This is the 10th outfit you've made me look at!"

Harry: "I'm sorry Liam. I just want to make sure I look good!"

Liam: "Like I said for the 10th time.. you look great!" (gives thumbs up)

Harry: "This is my first photoshoot with a real photographer! I heard he's the best in the city." (shrugs) "I'm just a little nervous."

Liam: "Ok, do you even realize how hot you are? Trust me, you'll do fine."

Harry: "What if the photographer doesn't like me? What if he thinks I'm no good?"

Liam: (scoffs) "Then Louis' clearly an idiot.."

Harry: "I'm just a little nervous to be photographed by a.. GUY."

Liam: (confused) "Why does that matter?"

Harry: "I don't know.. shouldn't a woman do it?"

Liam: "I guess I don't understand the problem? You're straight. He's straight.."

Harry: "I know that.. (looks down at floor) "I asked him to photograph me in just my underwear.. I hope it's not weird."

Liam: "Then why are you wasting my time by trying on a bunch of outfits!"

Harry: "I want to make sure that I make a good first impression!"

Liam: (snorts) "You're crazy.."

Harry: (looks down at his watch) "Oh shit! I'm gonna be late!" (Grabs his bag, runs out the door) "Thanks Liam!"

Liam: "Wait Harry!" (Holds arm out)

Harry: (peaks head through door) "Yeah?"

Liam: "Good luck.."

(Harry smiles, runs out the door)
