TEXT: BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian trains for his speech in front of the network people. JULIAN: I think the story needs to breathe... the small moments, the evolving relationships. I think it works even better if "an unkindness of ravens" is serialized. You know, make it a TV show instead of a movie. BROOKE: Isn't that a lot like "the creek"? JULIAN: Ah, to some degree, sure, but it'll have its own voice, find its own audience. Besides, all you people do is remake everything now, anyway. Okay, maybe I won't say that last part. BROOKE: Good. What about vampires? We were hoping for more of them in the pilot. We like vampires. And werewolves. We like werewolves. JULIAN: There's not gonna be any vampires or werewolves in this show. I might consider zombies. BROOKE: Hmm, and Nathan's meeting in act 4, where does that take place? JULIAN: They're not gonna ask me that. BROOKE: But if they do, where does it happen? JULIAN: A conference room. BROOKE: Hmm. You might want to go with something a little sexier. Like a hot tub. JULIAN: Wow. This has been a really great meeting. BROOKE: Mm-hmm. Can you tell me more about the stunning, some might say brilliant, character of Brooke Davis? MEETING Julian tells his speech. JULIAN: She's pivotal. Brooke's heart is so vulnerable, and that's why she's so central. That's why the audience will root for her. They'll identify with her... her mistakes, her victory, her heartache. MAN: That's our feeling, as well. WOMAN: And Nathan's meeting in act 4... where does that take place? JULIAN: Uh, a conference room. Or I was thinking it might be cool if it was in a hot tub. MAN: Nice. BURNING BOAT FESTIVAL Brooke comes with her mum to put some
