P 4 (Leo): “…he’s an ok high school player I guess, but good enough to go pro?…there ain’t no Oakwoods or Valley Techs in that league…gimme’ a break!….pro windbag maybe….But you two clowns will probably cut my interview from your little movie, so what does it matter what I think?…”
I work for a publisher, and most authors are clueless about the process so it’s up to the publisher’s staff to take care of such detail. No way would Dingles even know what release/permission forms are, much less be handing them out at a book signing saying “would you mind signing this?”. If someone refuses to sign, no biggie….they just won’t use their name or anything else that identifies them while the book is still being written. Asking them to sign after the book is printed and sold just leaves the author and publisher twisting in the wind and open to litigation. Bringing it up to someone like her is just plain stupid. This bit today is true fiction for sure.
Not Cannes, but maybe from America’s Funniest Home Videos
