You know, what can you actually cut off, right? Because we all have to deal with everything on some level.

Well, honestly, you know, the script came into our production company and it was a spec script, a script sent to see a writing sample. And Jackie Cohn, who worked at our company at the time, read it and she gave it to me and I read it. And I was like, this is great. It's a great writing sample. And also, is anybody doing this show?
