Allison: They are trying to make a book called "The New Cool" about FIRST into a movie
Allison: I would like them to get Joseph Gordon-Levitt to be in the movie. Meet him a bunch of times, have him fall madly in love with me and party with him at the championship.
Roberto: lol
Roberto: That's a helluva dream
Allison: A girl can dream
Roberto: You can always try to make it happen
Roberto: I mean
Roberto: I'm assuming they're going to need actual staffers from FIRST on set
Roberto: So
Roberto: Maybe your dream will play out
Allison: Perhaps
Roberto: Just promise me you won't end up with Edward James Olmos
