Somewhere in Hollywood…
MAN 1: So, we gotta talk casting on-
MAN 2: Oh shit… Uhm, I gotta run out of here in a sec - big squash game this afternoon! And I’m out and unreachable tomorrow through winter.
MAN 1: Okay, well-
MAN 2: Let’s just nip it in the bud right now. This is that comedy thing?
MAN 1: Yes.
Man 1 hands a script to Man 2, who absentmindedly opens to a page, which he doesn’t even look at, then closes the script and places it on his desk.
MAN 2: Right, right… We need a good looking buddy co-lead on this?
MAN 1: Yep.
MAN 2: GOT IT!
MAN 1: Yes?
MAN 2: Paul Rudd!
MAN 1: Love it! Done!
MAN 2: What else we need? Foreign guy? White? Russell Brand!
MAN 1: Actually, no… We need the creepy weirdo.
MAN 2: Well… Zach Galiwhat’shisnameis from “The Hangover.” He’ll keep the beard, his wardrobe will be ridiculous.
MAN 1: BINGO! Brilliant, sir. Some of your best work…
Man 2 hurriedly heads toward the door.
MAN 2: And whatever the third thing is, I don’t even care, just put Aziz Ansari in it - got it?
MAN 1: Yes, sir! I love the look of this!
MAN 2: It just feels right.
Man 2 exits. Then pops his head back in.
MAN 2: Ooh, make sure you put some K’naan on the soundtrack! Lovin’ his style at the moment and the boys upstairs said K’naan’s a big priority right now…
MAN 1: Done!
