Erwin- The truth is I've had some bad luck lately.
Well to be honest guys a string of bad decisions have come back to bite me on the ass. Like for example, I had a deal lined up for an amazing Frank Stallone jungle pic but I kinda insulted his brother.

Kevin- What can you possibly say to make Frank Stallone turn down work?

Erwin- Well, we were getting blasted and I just said Sly was looking very strange these days, like a tomato with a wig on.

Bernard- Erwin you're a card, but surely you have other projects ready, and finance in place?

Erwin- Mmm. There's a problem with our financiers. The ones that aren't in state prison, well they've blacklisted me.

B- Why, you seem so persuasive and full of ideas?

Erwin- If you must know, it was one certain pitch and a production that went to the shitter.

Kevin- What was the pitch, oh go on Erwin?

B- Yes Erwin, you're with friends here.

E- Okay Ok, but let me give you background. I've been exploring and trying to resolve
religious issues in my life and looking to enhance my spiritual self so to speak. So anyway I read about a group of dedicated assassins who live by a moral code higher than even the Samurai of old.

K- Wo man

E-Yeah, but the problem is: I don't know if the world is ready for Hassidic Ninjas: they strike with deadly speed. and then they eat.

B- Your money men shunned you for that?

E- Well almost, the final nail was the Chuck Morris film I showed Kevin in the break.

K- I thought that was cool.

E- They thought I was on crack. Or a Scientologist.
