If I do say so myself,
I thought that the Antarctica submission
was pretty good. Have you read it?
Absolutely not. Why would I do that?
Let me explain something to you.
All your best books have everything
you need to know in the first five pages
and the last five pages, okay?
Pregnant. War. Alone.
War over. Baby older. New man.
Happily ever after. Bestseller.
Wow.
Did you prepare the conference room?
Yeah. PowerPoint's all set up,
nobody knows a thing.
Okay. Well, get out of here.
Everyone here is familiar with Dr. Sinja.
Dr. Sinja is the most popular
nondenominational religious leader
on the planet.
He's a holistic healer
and a New Age dispenser of wisdom
with a following in the tens of millions.
This guy can fill up
a football stadium on a Tuesday.
Our conventional spirit guides
always ask the seeker,
"What do you want?
I challenge you to ask yourself;
"What does life want from me?
"What does the greater purpose
want from me?
Look at this guy's attendance figures.
He's outselling Cline Dion, U2,
Billy Graham and Hannah Montana!
What's his actual philosophy?
"In quiet, there is truth."
Some sh*t like that. Something like that.
Just your typical New Age bullshit crap.
That's what my Aunt May used to call it.
New Age bullshit crap.
And if anybody can sell
some New Age bullshit crap, it's me.
Jack, it's a spiritual movement.
Yeah, I have a spiritual movement
every time I eat a bran muffin.
- God!
- All right, all right, Jack.
Assuming you can actually
get an audience with the guy,
you're not the only agent in town
who has this information.
What makes you think
you can talk Sinja into signing with you?
I'm Jack McCall. This is what I do.
Hey, I can talk anybody
into doing anything.
Help me sing it
Breathe in.
And release.
Quiet your mind
until there are no thoughts.
Then you can see your true nature.
Your face
before your parents were born.
"Your face
before your parents were born"?
That's a great title for a kids' show.
It has many names.
Nirvana, kensho, bliss,
divinity, illumination.
Let's call it the Blue Pearl.
It's okay. Our truth can be painful.
Pain is the touchstone of growth.
- That'd be a badass T-shirt.
- It's okay.
Laugh, cry. They're close cousins.
Just let it out.
He sees the Blue Pearl.
It's okay. It's okay.
Students meditate for years
and never see
what you have seen today.
Your inner self.
That makes you
a very special person, Mr...
McCall.
Jack McCall. Thank you so much.
Sorry, I don't know what happened.
I just got overcome with emotion.
I'm sorry.
