Hidden Bodies

Joe meets Forty at the diner, where he is flirting with a waitress. Forty is obviously high, and he pouts that Joe didn’t congratulate him enough. Joe regrets not telling Love about his involvement with the scripts. Forty says that Joe made some great adjustments to the material and seems to believe that he actually did most of the writing.

Forty says Joe thinks that LA owes him something and compares him to actors who improvise great lines. The actors don’t get a writing credit and they don’t expect one. The waitress gives Forty a free ice cream because the chef read about him in Hollywood Reporter. Forty says it’s all due to fifteen years of hard work. Joe listens but keeps asking Forty to call Love to put her mind at ease. He knows that killing Forty will be more difficult because the cops will take a greater interest in a rich person’s death. His past emails with Forty will be a problem. Forty says that Joe got Love and should be happy with that. If Joe can kill Forty, he can have Love without complications. Joe understands that it must be hard to be a twin who is unequally loved.
