When Rachel's husband Max gave the texts of the movie Two Night Stand (2014) to his father to read, he discovered the relationship mantra in the script.

In an interview in September 2014, he recalled the moment saying, 

“He wisely introduced the topic of whether Megan and Alec’s relationship to ambition was a pitfall—whether it would make them unsympathetic, or unrepresentative. We ultimately concluded that they were giving each other permission to want what they really want, rather than what they’re supposed to want. And that’s a mantra I first heard from my wife when we were dating.”

Max's father, Mike died later at the age of 83 in 2014. Some of Mike's greatest films include The Graduate, Primary Colors and Wit.

Following his dad's footstep, Max then out on to direct many movies such as Heft and Day 5.
