Hey, I have a bit of a time problem in a script I was working on.
I have a scene where the lead character burst into his ex-wife's house in the middle of a business dinner and creates this huge scene.
Problem is I recently realized other elements of the script force his arrival to be between 2PM and 4PM.
And nobody has a business dinner at that time. The actual dinner part of is really not an issue, I just needed unrelated people at the house to be witness to the scene; these should be people of class and importance (in a business not story sense). What's a good substitute for a business dinner?
@MrIVI,
Let's do lunch, is it going to be an animated scene?
@MrIVI,
Hmm, dropping things off at the house, maybe even a company vehicle? Oh, stay for some tea .... Love in the afternoon? Could be all getting back from some sort of a part of the day business trip (I used to audit for a living, and sometimes we'd finish early in the day -- we'd pretty much never go back to the office until the following business day).

I don't ususally think of a business dinner being held in a home, more like in a restaurant.
Can the people just be working on a project at the womans house?
@chai2,
Actually, that's a better idea, just working together.
@chai2,
an architect and an interior designer?
@MrIVI,
Could this person have an office at their home? Maybe some sort of business meeting in general?
Bridge party?
Tupperware party!!
Afternoon delight?
Argument in front of carpenters, painters and floor installers?
