people.
Michael was not at all famous. In fact, he was still planning his first film. He knew it would be hard to
persuade (说服) the actress to work for him. He decided to take her out for dinner.

took their order. During the meal, Michael noticed that Herbert Grange was in the restaurant. Grange was a very
famous producer. When Grange left his table to go to the rest room. Michael asked Sarina to excuse him, and
went to the rest room as well. As Grange was washing his hands, Michael said, "Mr. Grange, please help me.
