Studio Reader Stan pays a visit to Ms. Pantsworth, one of the studio executives he reads scripts for.
Studio Reader Stan enters Ms. Pantsworth’s office at Demure Studios.
Studio Reader Stan: Ms. Pantsworth, I just read that Demure Studios bought that book, “The Librarian.”
Ms. Pantsworth: That’s right. It was my decision. I just love seeing my name in
"Variety."
Studio Reader Stan: But when I recommended the screenplay to you about six months ago, you rejected it flatly.
Ms. Pantsworth: That’s because I didn’t want to have to read it. I hate reading movie scripts.
Studio Reader Stan: But...you’re a maker of movies...which come from movie scripts.
Ms. Pantsworth: Yeah, that used to be a problem. But now none of us actually read scripts anymore. It’s quite liberating.
Studio Reader Stan: Well, as insane as that is, at least you still read books.
Ms. Pantsworth: Not really. I listen to them on tape when I do Yoga. The only things I actually read anymore are wine menus.
Studio Reader Stan: But the book you bought is about a librarian who inspires a whole new generation of readers.
Ms. Pantsworth: Yeah, we’re changing that part of it. The librarian now inspires a whole new generation of racecar drivers. Cars are hot right now.
Studio Reader Stan: But that makes no sense. She’s a librarian.
Ms. Pantsworth: It doesn’t need to make sense, Studio Reader Stan. It just needs to do well overseas.
Studio Reader Stan leaves, demoralized.

Soldier's Gap
by David Schwinghammer
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
