      PITCHING PORNOS

      INT. OFFICE - DAY

                          BOSH
                    (Calling out.)
                Warrun, could you come in here for
                a minute?

      WARRUN, a frazzled man with thick glasses wearing a mis
      buttoned sweater vest, rushes into the room carrying a stack
      of papers.

                          BOSH (CONT'D)
                Warrun, take a seat.

      WARRUN sits.

                          WARRUN
                What's up, Boss?

                          BOSH
                Warrun, let me ask you something.
                What is the purpose of a
                pornographic film?

                          WARRUN
                To, uh. To make people feel ...
                good?

                          BOSH
                That's right, Warrun. The purpose
                of a pornographic film is to make
                people feel good. So that's why I
                was so disappointed when I read
                your latest pitch?

                          WARRUN
                You didn't like my pitch, boss?

                          BOSH
                No, Warrun. I did not like it at
                all. You see, most people associate
                the Holocaust with misery,
                violence, tragedy, senseless loss
                of life. Not good things, Warrun.

                          WARRUN
                No, sir.

                          BOSH
                Not things that make people feel
                good, you know?

                          WARRUN
                Yes sir.

                          BOSH
                So why, Warrun, did you propose
                that we make a film entitled
                Schindler's Clit?

                          WARRUN
                Pornographic films that parody
                other stories are very popular,
                sir.

                          BOSH
                Yes, but it's important to pick the
                right story to parody. For example,
                your previous pitch-

                          WARRUN
                Which you rejected.

                          BOSH
                Yes, which we rejected. Your
                previous pitch was that we make a
                pornographic film entitled,
                "Angela's Asses".

                          WARRUN
                No good?

                          BOSH
                No, Warrun. No good at all. In
                fact, unless you can pick things
                up, I'm afraid we're going to have
                to let you go.

                          WARRUN
                Oh! No sir! That won't be
                necessary! I have a whole bunch of
                good ideas! Hang- hang on!

      WARRUN shuffles frantically through his pile of papers, and
      pulls out several sheets which he reads off of.

                          WARRUN (CONT'D)
                Okay, okay! How about: "A Wang to
                Remember?"
                    (Beat.)
                No? Okay, how about: "Hanoi Paris
                Hilton"? "Requiem for a Wet Dream"?
                    (Beat.)
                It's okay, I've got others...
                "Sophie's Choice of Sexual
                Partners?"

                          BOSH
                You're fired.

                                                     BLACKOUT.
