The Monsters was his.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I met him at a party where we were grubby documentarians and it was New Year's Eve.
And he came in from some fancy thing and he was wearing a tuxedo and he's a great looking guy.
Looked wealthy.
A beautiful human.
Somehow I ended up saying, I want to write.
And he got me a chance to write a show.
It was My Mother the Car.
Yes.
Yeah, and they tried to talk you out of that at some point.

big director, producer, and a ferociously ethical guy.
So they try to say the pilot episode I wrote after so much research, because he was a big research guy.

I did it.
I did it.
