I Want Candy Page #2

Let's take this mountain to Mohammed.

Baggy, start the car,

because we are going to London.

The film industry is just like

any other business, Bags.

It's all about supply and demand.

Film companies demand a great script and we

are about to supply them with exactly that.

We're like a dream come true for these guys.

And we're going straight to the big dogs.

Working Title. The most successful

British film company ever.

So, we're just going to walk in there,

pitch the film and get the money?

Come on, Bags, don't be so negative.

It's like God said to Moses,

"You've got to have faith."

Wasn't that the fella from Wham?

- No, Moses was never in Wham.

- No, I mean...

Hi, there. Joe Clarke, producer.

Oh, my God, do men get lost in your eyes?

If you keep pointing those things at me, I'm

going to need a search party, because I am lost.

And I'm hungry.

I may have to eat my friend here.

Tasty!

Hello, Working Title.

Yes.

Wonderful.

OK, Chris, putting you through.

- Sorry, sir. You were saying?

- I may have to eat my friend here.

What?

Because of the eyes thing.

You've got massive eyes.

- Sorry, can I help you?

- Yes, we're here to pitch a movie.

- Right. Do you have an appointment?

- No, but we do have a fantastic script.

- Really?

- Yes. It's perfect for Working Title.

Hang on, because we're Working Title.

This is fantastic news.

I'll ring Mr Bevan and Mr Fellner,

the head of the company, really important.

They're in a big meeting with Universal Studios,

but I'm sure they won't mind if I drag them out.

I'm going to get them

to read your script straight away,

then the guys and the girls

can start casting and budgeting

and we'll all go out for champagne

and teppanyaki.

- Are you being sarcastic?

- Yes, I am.

You do need an appointment.

I can't see your name here, Mr Clarke.

- I'm sorry.

- Well, keep looking.

Just think, they could have stopped checking at

Preparation G - they would have had nothing.

No? OK. Well, Mr Brown,

it looks like we're in trouble.

- Our appointment's not in the book.

- Are you lan Brown?

I'm Mr Brown.

I'm terribly sorry.

It's under Mr Brown's name and not yours.

- 11 o'clock to see Graham Rose?

- That's right.

- Do you want to go through?

- Yes. Thank you.

It's The Big Chill meets Remains Of The Day.

It's kind of a noir romance,

but with elements of Welles, Capra, Soderbergh.

It's a drama, but it's witty.

Classic themes, but with a contemporary edge.

Baggy, set the stage.

Night. Thunder.

Lightning. Rain.

A secluded farmhouse on the edge of town.

Our heroine walks to the door.

Hands bound, face muddied,

a haunted look in her eye.

This is the story of an enigmatic woman
