When I got to L .A., like every other girl, I thought I was going to be a

actress.

But after spending hundreds of dollars on headshots and casting websites with

zero bookings to my name, I realized that a future in acting was going to

lot more than I anticipated.

I'm just paranoid about anyone new.

Why don't you just sell your agency and let me take care of you? You can be my

full -time mistress.

John, we both know that I'm smarter than that.

Uncomfortable?

No, not at all.

It's just funny how similar this is to acting.

Why? Do you feel like you're on a casting couch?

No, just getting the pictures taken and all that.

Where are these pictures going?

Some on the website and some to clients that may hire you.

And all the girls have to do this?

All the girls and all the guys.

Who hires male escorts?

Women.

Women? Why would they do that if they could just go to a bar and get laid for

free?

Escorts get paid for companionship, not sex.

Right.

I'm being serious.

Not every encounter is sexual.

Your job as an escort is to service a need.

Now, those needs can be interpreted in many ways.

I have a client who used to hire one of my male escorts to go over, make

out with her.

No sex.

What? She was going through a divorce.

Her husband just left her for some younger woman and she wasn't feeling

confident or sexy anymore.

His job was to make her feel like the most beautiful and wanted woman in the

world because that's what she needed. He didn't just run over there and rip off

her clothes.

He paid attention to what she needed, even if it was just to cuddle.

She wanted to feel close to someone without it being just about sex.

So this woman never slept with him?

No, she did.

Eventually.

When she was ready.

It was about a year after she started hiring him.

They just returned home from a wedding.

He'd gone as her date.

Are you okay?

I think I'd like to try something different.

Like what?

Just keep in mind, every relationship and every client is different.

It is your job to cater to what they need.

Are you telling me this because your first client is Saturday?

Are you serious?

Yes.

And he's a movie producer.

Don't even think about it. I won't.

I promise.

You only do what he needs and not what you need.

Are we clear?

In the acting world, most people aren't overnight success stories.

You labor for years just hoping for your big break.

But, with Escorting, I was an overnight success.

The film producer, James, quickly became a regular client, paying me obscene

amounts of money to role -play with him.

One day I was a secretary, the next a cheerleader, kitty cat, and a naive

actress.

Captain Director is on a lunch break, so you're going to read with me?

Adam! No.

I'm tired of these games. I'm tired of pretending like you don't want me. I do

want you.

Improve it.

Yes, yes, yes.
