(sighs, mutters)
Oh, shit, Mr. Haywood, if you're not
interested in my offer, why the hell
did you bring two lawyers and three
agents from the William Morris office
along?
MURPHY
(Mr. Cool)
What Mr. Haywood was saying, Ms.
Christenson, was that our client,
Ms. Hobbs, wants it up front that
the political content of the show
has to be entirely in her control.
DIANA
She can have it. I don't give a
damn about the political content.
WALLIE
What kind of show'd you have in
mind, Diana?
DIANA
We're interested in doing a weekly
dramatic series based on the Ecumen-
ical Liberation Army, and I'll tell
you what the first show has to be --
a two-hour special on Mary Ann Gifford.
We open this two-hour special with
that bank rip-off footage, which is
terrific stuff, and then we tell
the story of how a rich young heiress
like Mary Ann Gifford becomes a
flaming revolutionary. Would you
people be interested in making such
a movie for us?
Everybody looks to LAUREEN HOBBS.
LAUREEN
The Ecumenical Liberation Army is
an ultra-left sect creating political
confusion with wildcat violence and
pseudo-insurrectionary acts, which
the Communist Party does not endorse.
The American masses are not yet ready
for open revolt. We would not want
to produce a television show cele-
brating historically deviational
terrorism.
