Sharon: [On Zoom call with Samantha] This. This is a real book. In fact, I got several interested nods from David Remnick last night at a dinner party in Balthazar last night.
Pete Martino: These fancy pants New Yorkers. Give me a twice baked at Tony Roma's and I'm a happy pappy.
Samantha: So what are the next steps?
Sharon: Oh, well, we're looking at doing a spring launch. Probably do a little book tour. Maybe some morning TV.
Sasappis: Oh my God! You're going to meet Hoda!
Sharon: In the meantime, we'll need to have one of our people verify your primary sources.
Isaac Higgintoot: [to Samantha] But I'm your primary source.
Samantha: [to Sharon] I was hoping that the copious notes I took would suffice. The actual primary source documents are incredibly old. I wouldn't want to risk sending them.
Sharon: Don't worry. We'll come to you. Our authenticator is a pro. He will handle them with care. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Zoom about an erotic vampire novel called "Bitten and Smitten".
[Sharon signs off]
Sharon: [Sam closes her laptop]
Hetty Woodstone: What about appliance erotica. Is that a genre? Could that be a genre?
Isaac Higgintoot: I shouldn't need verification. Everything I told you is true.
Sasappis: Yeah. It's shocking that they won't take a ghost's word for it.
Hetty Woodstone: The Maytag Chronicles. Writes itself.
