Unconditional

More than I can count

Gino: "I was talking about you, Anthony"

Ant:"What?! You must be kidding"

John: "I think Gino is right. You know the script by your heart, you know each and every detail of the character and I have seen you act before. You will be fabulous!!"

Ant: "Look I am honoured by all this but I have other works to do too"

Robbie: "But you have done this before. Both acting and directing together. And it's just a few scenes,Ant"

Philip: "Gino is right. You are our last chance"

Simon: Ant, you know how important this is for us. You are our best shot now"

Ant sighs at that "Okay, I- I understand what you all mean, okay"

John: "Great. Then we will finalize the changes in the script and come to you. Now that it's you and not Mac, we can put more into the character of Peter!"

Gino: "Yes. One of the feedbacks we got were about adding more emotions into the play. We have some ideas for that"

Ant: "Okay, you do that. Kieth, you  and Scarlett are on. Come on"

As Ant gets busy with Kieth and Scarlett, Dec moves to Gino and John

John: "Hai Dec, you okay with having more scenes?

Dec: "Yeah, I am..mm..can I ask you something?"

Gino: "Yes, go on.."

Dec: "Why did you both suddenly decide to work together? This started as a competition between you two, right?"

Gino: "Oh it did, it did, and now it is not"

John: "Thanks to you"

Dec: "To me?"

Gino: "Remember the games we all played from Simon's house? And you and Anthony did that stand-up game?"

Dec nods not knowing where they were going with it.

John: "When you both were competing with each other, nobody won. You both were going to lose. But when you both played together, both of you won"

Gino: "So we decided, we will do this together"

John:"Together, we can help you win this competition. But competing against each other will only result in this play to fail"

Gino: "Thanks to you"

Dec: "Oh, woah! Great"

Dec was beyond surprised at that  and leaves them to walk to David and Stephen.

Dec: "Heyy"

David: "Hero!Hero!Hero!"

Dec: "Shut up! God, Stevie. Pull your collar up, will ya. The hickeys on your neck are making me want to throw up"

David: "Don't worry darling he is just jealous"

Dec: "Darling?" Dec imitates retching and Stephen rolls his eyes.

Suddenly Gino calls Dec and he walks to the middle of the room where Gino, Ant, John and Philip were standing.

John: "Okay, so we changed the script a bit, giving Peter more screentime and importance. We have kept the first two acts the same, that is Peter meeting Duncan and being friends are all the same. The first change is made in the third act, last scene where Peter rescues Duncan from Jim and takes him home. As you know the scene involves Duncan confessing his feelings for Peter and Peter simply saying that he also feels the same. We just changed it a bit whereby Duncan talks a bit with Peter before the confession and once he confesses, Peter will kiss Duncan, which ends up in you two making out"
