You needn’t have a script to critique and needn’t even want to talk about writing. Doris will talk about the weather and show you pictures of her dog; whatever you prefer. You will need to be in the LA area if you want to do lunch. If you live out-of-area but still want a script critique, we can do it by phone and e-mail.Desperation Can Tah prop, signed
