    Around here the deals that stick get made over a table with too many appetizers, not in some glass conference room — I’ve watched casting conversations start exactly like that and go nowhere for months. What stands out is Melton saying yes before the entrées even landed, because that kind of speed usually means the script did the work, not the dinner.
