True West Act 2, Scene 6 Summary

  • Saul shows up to try to convince Austin to write the first draft of Lee's movie idea. He even tells Austin he'll pay him $300,000. Sometimes, though, it's not about money. Austin refuses.
  • Saul leaves, and tells Lee that they'll talk soon.
  • This is a fast scene, but it's an important one. Austin could very well have agreed to a big payday, and even written the script, which is what he wants to do as a screenwriter. Instead, though, he stands up for his own project and stands up to his brother.
