So you can't work with anybody else for 18 months.

So they're paying you $50,000 to tell you to stay on ice for 18 months and they try to figure it out.

Right.

Not me, because I didn't option it.

The reporter optioned it.

And we had an agreement where he would pay the kid some money and me some money.

okay so i got a check for like seven grand okay um and then so they he options it and warner brothers picks it up you know they optioned it for 50 grand and then they had 18 months well if they had made the movie then the kid gets then they they optioned it for like a million dollars okay so then i'm going to get a check for whatever 18 or 80 000 or something whatever that came to right so um

And then you get the back end, which there's almost no money on the back end.

So, I mean, they'll tell you there is.

They write it up so it seems like it, but they expense everything out and the movie barely makes any, even as a blockbuster, they show it barely makes any money.

So maybe you're going to get another 20 grand or five grand, whatever.

So anyway, the point is, is that I did that and 18 months later, they didn't do it, but they extended the option.

They said, well, here's another 50 for another 18.

And then, so then they did it again.

Like when I got out of prison,

I just got in the halfway house.

You had three checks waiting for you?

They did it again.

I had four.

And then 18 months later, I got another check.
