The Congress Page #3

---

I missed the 2 o'clock landing.

What's wrong?

- You look... you look sad.

- Really?

-Yeah.

Why don't you fly one of Cody Bank's?

-Me?

-Yeah.

- I do not think so.

- You can do it.

Just the little one.

Come on.

You better try it for once, alone.

Gotta see what it feels like.

I'll be there and watch you on,

so it does not go with the fence.

Dont want to get kicked out of this place, do we?

Sarah, [get it]

Me?

Did you ever see someone come to visit me here?

Like you hold it.

It's okay.

You could call.

What good would that have done?

You haven't answer my calls

since the meeting at the studio.

This is Steve. He'll draw up

your contract with the studio.

He's a scanning contract genius.

Keanu Reeves, Michelle Williams - he

did that contracts.

They are [hermetically] scanned.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, kids!

- You want a drink, Al?

- Sure.

- Would you like a drink?

- No, thank you.

- It's a real glider.

- Yeah.

Thank you, this is... this is beautiful.

And who is this ?

This is Steve, a new lawyer I'm working with.

Scanning contract genius

This is one hell of a warehouse

you guys have here.

Oh no, it's not a warehouse.

It's an old hangar for the DC-9s.

It was built in like 1973.

Wow! I mean, you could NEVER get

a 17 [...] permits

to do a residential conversion like this

these days, that's for sure.

Scanning genius, eh?

Well, I've happened to have seen

on the entertainment channel

studios that's turning the sample actors

into these tiny little computer creatures.

I mean, it must change the way

contracting works, completely.

It's absolutely true, uh....

- Sara.

- Yes, that's absolutely true, Sarah.

is a completely different type of contracts,

it's a one-off sale.

Very tricky, lots of details and you have to be sharp.

'Cause it's not going back to fix it afterwards.

- Uh-huh.

What do you mean by "one-off sale" ?

Once they sample you, and you are in the computer

there is no way back.

So whatever was agreed before

the sampling - that's the way it is.

So you have to be really careful.

The studio owns the character.

- W-What character?

- One that used to be the actor.

"Used to be"?

The minute the studio pays and scans,

the actor isn't an actor,

He's just a person, a nobody.

The actor he once was

is now on a character

in the studio's computer.

The studio can do whatever they want.

Unless the lawyer puts a clause in,

saying that they can't some.

It's very tricky.

Very tricky.

It's a new field. We're on the cusp.

- So what happens to the actor?

- What actor?

The one that used to be the actor

is now this... computer creature.

He goes off to play golf somewhere.

And what if he does not like golf?
