"What's up MG?"
"What are you doing?"
"Flipping through channels, taking a break from painting."
"Are you painting me another picture?"
"If you want it, you can have it."
"Are we still talking about the painting?"
"There is nothing on tv."
"I like the way you by passed what I just said."
"I swear I'm going to cut the cable."
"Wow and a second time. Zero for two."
"Yeah right, Nikki would kill me if she couldn't watch Are You The One."
"Fine. What is Are You The One?"
"Glad you asked . . . It's a show where they have twenty-two single hot people living in a house and they're supposed to find their perfect match. It's quite drama filled, you should watch it. Rumor has it they're going to do a celebrity edition and Demitri is going to be on it."
"Listening to the gossip again I see."
"They were talking around me. It was hard not to."
"Who's they?"
"The director and assistant director. They want to get in touch with MTV and propose the idea. I guess to help Demitri get more noticed but the guy is already famous with millions of fans. I think he's doing fine - Oh here's something."
"Did you hear anything else about the show?"
"Um . . ."
"Runner?"
" . . . . "
"Are you listening to me?"
" . . . . "
"Runner, what are you doing?"
"I'm . . . I'm watching . . . an interview . . . with Demitri Guerrero . . . Is this his house?"
" . . . . "
"Why does that look so familiar?"
" . . . . "
"Hold on a sec, MG. I need to look at something."
" . . . . "
"That fire . . . place."
