  -I have to say, it's a very good script, - whispered Winona, taking note of the powerful script. It was a toug love story, along with a small book that had been released not long ago.

  -It is. See why I say it's perfect for you? Even the first time I saw it, it was great. A sed read made me realize it's a wonderful piece, - Billy ented, not lying. When he read the script, he didn't realize it had been read before, but he briefly remembered how magnifit the series was, one of the best films.

  -You're an impossible man, - said Winona, throwing herself onto the grass o the set, and looking at the blue sky. - I'll agree to the script, I'll do the movie... however, you should know that Gwyh won't like us doing a movie together. Besides, I had no idea you two were dating. -

  Billy rexed o Winona, took a deep breath, aed in the suerday, they had done numerous ses, one of which was the night date. Due to his more emphatic performahe directave him a bit more s time, and he was able to solidify the tradi of the boyfriend against the bright and sunny fiancé.

  -We're not dating, we don't have the retionship you might think... she has taught me a lot about women, about people, and has helped me navigate different waters, - Billy said calmly, taking a spot on the grass. The tree's shade allowed them to cover from the sun, but there was no doubt the days were quite lohe desert, and the nights warm, trary to what was thought about the cold. He had acted foolishly, like a plete novice, something that still disappointed him. His emotions were out of pce, his as out of pce, living in a world that annoyed him.

  Doubting how to repay Gwyh, even if he wao, he loved Alice much more than he did Gwyh.

  -We're not dating. She is a willful woman, jealous, sometimes superficial, and possessive. Oher hand, she's sweet, loving, permissive, lively, and homely. We have an uanding. I'll expiuation to her. Besides, we have a promise to act together. Sometimes, she is an excellent actress, and other times, she's nothing more than a spoiled child, - Billy ented.

  -Gwyh be very reasonable when she wants to be... besides, I'll do everything possible to rea uanding. It's not my iion to cause fights between you two. She is a good friend, - Winona responded.

  Both found fort in their friendship, not without annoying each other, but uanding. The ake they were filming would be the st of the movie, the moment when Finn's thesis pages fly all over the pce, the moment to provide some clusions and pave the way for an ending, chosen by myth and superstition, but representing love, a love that helps.

  Billy took note and tinued with his course, the st se a brief moment of handling, while tinuing with his performance.

  Billy left the set in the mid-afternoon with a sense ency; his iion with Winona had proven more beneficial than he initially thought. Taking the route to Los Angeles, he faced a long drive to the Fox studios for the filming of the new and challenging Nixon biopic. This film, with a raw and firm portrayal of Nixon’s life, promised to be a worthwhile watch. Anthony Hopkins' performance was magnifit, albeit somewhat g iain parts.

  Billy was to perform a minor role as Harold Nixon, the brother who died of tuberculosis. Harold’s death haunted Nixon, marking him deeply. His brother’s passing, after providing Nixon the opportunity to attend uy, influenixon's rise in politics, ultimately leading him to the presidential race. The film uniquely osciltes between Nixon's past and his future presidency, undersg the importance of his early experiences.

  -e in, Mr. Carson, we've been expeg you, - said an assistant. Billy, now -shaven with slightly longer hair and loose clothing, looked like a teenager after a few touch-ups. The bd-white filming was set to trast the past and present.

  -Thank you, - Billy replied. Apanied by his bodyguard and a newly hired assistant named Rosa, who ointed by Jim Waitt. Rosa, a 34-year-old woman with rge round gsses and a traditional dress, was his new secretary.

  Billy navigated the rec studio, noting everything he o do. Rosa stood in a er, watg him with apprehension.

  -Rosa, you tact Ian McCalle's assistant to inform them of my dey? Also, call Ae the meeting with Apple. You have until 5 PM when we filming. I won’t need you for much more today. Speak with Anne for any further questions, and be ready to study all the panies and my tact list with me tomorrow m before we head to the studio, - Billy instructed.

  -Yes, sir, -Rosa responded, ready for the opportunity.

  -Good. Make sure to call Anne; she will talk tot. You'll be unig with Margot often, - Billy added.

  Without further dey, Billy immersed himself in his work, fog on his script and preparations. W with child aade filming more plex and required short, effit takes. Adult actors often had to adjust their performao support the children, who might need several takes for the same se.

  The first se was set in a house, studio, and venieore owned by the Nixons. Filming is primarily tered there. With a child actor in a supp role, filming was more challenging, requiring patiend multiple takes to capture the right moments.

  Billy finished his ses exhausted. The day had little to no breaks, and Anthony Hopkins was notably absent, leaving the crew to focus on other ses.
