0:00.0	Thanks, everybody for coming to the table read. We know, obviously, that without writers to actually work, it's pretty difficult to make
0:23.5	shows. But I think we got something really good here. It was given to us actually by a guy who
0:29.8	had a crack at being a screenwriter earlier and is really developed in another industry and has
0:34.8	come through for us today. So I'm going to do stage direction and then
0:39.6	you all know your parts. Okay, let's get going. Okay, so interior, studio executives office day.
0:45.6	We see a screenwriter, Jim, sitting in front of a large desk facing a studio executive, Mr. Smith.
0:51.7	The room is nicely furnished with large windows overlooking the bustling

1:32.6	That's cinema.
1:33.8	That's movies.
1:34.7	That's television, you know?
1:36.4	What we're not going to read out is the sequence afterwards, where Oscar Isaac comes in and says
