I'm talking about what does it do?

And she walked in, she said, your client, Bob town, who was one of the great writers in the, in the movie business wrote, um, uh, Chinatown and Cinderella Liberty and, uh,

Tarzan and some of the best scripts ever written in the community.

I just read a script by his brother, Roger Towne.

that it deserves attention by this company, by CA.

Because our company worked as a group.

So if you brought a script in and then a couple of the senior people read it and endorsed it, it got a lot of attention.

So it had to be good because we put a lot of assets on it.

And at the end of the day, all we have is our time.

And you run out of time very fast.

I mean, in the

Agency business, we were like one-arm wallpaper hangers.

You know, I mean, there's just no time.

And she said, here's what the script is about.

And she said, it's about a guy who's washed up and comes back to a professional baseball team.

He's a washed up baseball player.

And at a later age, he comes back and it's his journey.

I got a little tingle on that.

And I also had indexed in my head that our client, Robert Redford, was looking for a baseball movie.

So I took the script home.
