The  Rules

  • Rule Eight:
    • Timing is everything.

    MIKE
    What time's this party tonight?

    TRENT
    It starts at eight...

    SUE
    ...which means no one will get there till ten.

    MIKE
    So, what? Eleven?

    TRENT AND SUE
    Midnight.

    There's nothing like a good entrance. You wouldn't want to sit at a table that wasn't set. If you're there too early, you look desperate. Show up late like you're "just stopping by," and you come off like the man about town.
