Murray threw down the script. Rising out of his plush leathery chair, he tapped cigar ashes over the open pages. He looked Eddie straight in the eyes and shook his head. "What the hell kind of script is this? You expect me to take this to production?" 

"Listen, Murray, keep reading. On page thirty-five Harlan makes it back to the main camp and there's the scene where he rescue Mina from the Alligator people. It's perfect symmetry, since the Alligator people stole the princess's daughter two episodes ago." 

Murray rolled his eyes and tapped on the glass partition, signalling his secretary to bring fresh coffee. Loosening his collar and running his hand through his sparse hair, he replied, "Eddie, think of the sponsors. Tiger Flakes, Gumbi Nuggets and Bambi Loops. They don't want hardcore monsters, they want cuddly critters that they can package. Think marketing rights, promotions, store openings!"

Shayra snorted. "You began a fine tale of terror, then switch to this inscrutable gibberish." She licked her paw as though Bargar were beneath her notice. Infuriated, Harlan sat down at his computer a few hours later to bang out his answer to Murray.
