This is politely politically radical,
but it's funny.
- It's a funny political thing.
- And it's a thriller, too, all at once.
- What's the story?
- I want Bruce Willis. I can talk to him.
It's a story about a bad-guy senator.
He's traveling around the country
on the country's dime, like Sununu did.
It's a cynical, political
thriller comedy.
But it's got heart in the right spot.
Anyway, he has an accident.
And he becomes clairvoyant,
like a psychic.
So it's a psychic, political,
thriller comedy with a heart.
With a heart, not unlike Ghost
meets Manchurian Candidate.
- Go on, I'm listening.
- He starts reading people's minds.
And when he gets to the President's mind
it's completely blank.
- Can I get you anything?
- I'd like a beer, please.
- We don't have beer.
- Red wine, please.
Someone gets killed at the end.
They always do in political thrillers.
- Griffin Mill's office.
- Can you put him on?
- May I ask who's calling?
- I'd like to speak to Griffin Mill.
He's in a meeting right now. I can take
your name and have him get back to you.
- Excuse me?
- He'll get back to me?
- Do you know how often I've heard this?
- Who is this?
- If he doesn't get back to me...
- Who was that?
- I don't know. He didn't say.
- What do you mean?
I don't know how you'll cast it. The
lead is a 50-year-old circus performer.
Let me read the coverage.
with Aaron Camp?
- What time?
- I made it for 1:00.
- Bad day?
- He's having writer's block.
You have a meeting with Hutter and
Frank South this afternoon at 3:00.
I'll be here. Put this morning's
meetings on the computer. Thanks.
- Are you going now?
- I'm going to see Levison.
Order me a Caesar salad
and a Crystal Geyser.
About 5:
00? Thanks, Sandy.Hi, Sandy.
You can't go in there!
He's in a meeting.
It's all right, Celia.
I don't think you've met Reg Goldman.
You know his father Harvey.
Yes, of course. Hi, Reg.
From the bank in Boston.
- Reg is out here for a few weeks.
- Great. Business or pleasure?
A little of both, I hope.
Reg is thinking of producing.
Really?
Yeah. Beats work,
doesn't it, Griffin?
I'd like to play some tennis.
Do you play tennis?
Tennis? No.
- I'm too busy.
- I was asking Walter.
Do you know Meg Ryan?
Is she seeing somebody?
Yeah, Reg. She's married.
Sh*t.
You know, actually,
Walter is the guy to talk to.
Walter's got everybody's number.
- Was there anything?
- No. You're real busy.
I want that number, goddamn it.
I want that number.
Oh, boy. What about this one?
Has she done anything?
Celia.
Griffin, don't ask.
Don't ask, you don't know?
Or don't ask, I don't want to know?
