weeeeell, in that case, he probably would've been hitting on her on the set of mud. well, maybe not on the set, but certainly if she went out with the crew over the weekend, or stayed late to drink beers with everyone after wrap. he was mostly doing that film because he has a hard time saying no to jeff and his godfather, jeff's dp. he's intense, serious, though he has a dry sense of humor so sometimes he uses his aloof persona to fuck with people for a laugh. he would've been writing on weekends, mostly, so if they were at the same hotel she would've spotted him off in some section outside with a view and final draft open. also, he was like 25 around this time? so she was free to laugh at him for his attempts.
