ID: Ask about the screenwriter and the big guy.

"They're two of the guys in that group. Curious Screenwriter, I think his name is? The little guy. It doesn't seem like he's a screenwriter anymore, I guess."

"How do you know him?"

"Oh, I don't really know him. He just came in a few years ago to do some research on bein' a bartender. He and the big guy seem real close."
