This week, Studio Reader Stan meets with studio executive, Mr. Brick.
Studio Reader Stan enters Mr. Brick's office.
Mr. Brick: Good, you’re here. I really need you to start chopping down the trees in my backyard. They’re ruining my view of my neighbor’s pool.
Studio Reader Stan: Uh, I’m not your gardener. I’m the studio reader that your receptionist told you three seconds ago was coming into your office.
Mr. Brick: Oh yeah, the studio reader. I called you in because all of our big summer blockbusters last year tanked. I need you readers to stop sending me such crap.
Studio Reader Stan: If you’ll recall, no readers read any of the scripts you filmed last summer.
Mr. Brick: So what am I paying you for?
Studio Reader Stan: You aren’t. We only get paid when we read.
Mr. Brick: So how’d those movies get made?
Studio Reader Stan: Each script was given to you by one of your producer friends, and therefore they bypassed all the readers.
Mr. Brick: I don’t accept excuses for your failures. Just don’t let me down me again.
Studio Reader Stan: Okay, well, I just read one of the scripts in your pipeline called, “Rats meet Bats” and it was a horrible piece of dreck. I would suggest you take it out of your pipeline immediately.
Mr. Brick: That’s our number one project. We expect it to break box office records.
Studio Reader Stan: Have you read it?
Mr. Brick: No. One of my producer friends gave it to me.
Studio Reader Stan: When it fails miserably, are you going to remember that I tried to warn you about it?
Mr. Brick: Are you suggesting I can’t remember who deserves praise and who deserves scorn?
Studio Reader Stan: Based on our conversation so far, yes.
Mr. Brick: That’s ridiculous... It’s your memory I worry about. How many times have I asked you not to over-water the begonias? Now hurry back to work. There’s pruning to be done.
