In the first scene of the play, Ian is finishing off his new screenplay for a bloody, action movie. His part-time secretary / part-time lover is typing for him and Ian displays all the cynicism, nonchalance, and laissez-faire attitude that will be questioned later on in the play. During the scene, he discovers that his movie has been bought for $1 million and he celebrates by hitting the bottle - which is a regular occurrence for him.
