He goes, well, do you have an idea? I said, kind of. He said, well, what I do is I use note cards. And I outline. And so then when I get all my cards, then I start writing the scenes. And so I went back to my hotel, and I was staying in the Essex House in New York. You know that hotel? Sure. It has the big beautiful park views, right?

I had the shittiest room in the hotel. I had the back, tiny little room in the back of the hotel that looked out over an alley. And I went home, and I went to the drugstore. I got note cards. I got pen. And I started writing the note cards and outlining the script. But I had a really small room. And I had the note cards kind of all over the room.

And I'd go to work and come back and more note cards. And I had this whole crazy system. And one day I came back and the note cards had all been moved and cleaned up. And I'm like, who did this? And they told me it was Manuela, the housekeeper. So I found Manuela. Manuela, you can't do this. I'm writing a movie. And she's like, what?

And I told her it's about these guys who go to Vegas and accidentally kill a hooker and then have to chop her up. And she's like, oh my God, then what happens? And Manuela helped me write the script because I would bounce it all off of her. That's so good. And I had the script up all throughout the room. It was on all the walls. So I was like living in it.

One day I came back and I went to go in the room and the key didn't work. And I went down and they said, Mr. Berg, we have a problem. We had to move your room. And I'm like, holy shit. They took me up to the top floor. I went to turn to where the shitty rooms were. They go, no, you're this way, to where the good rooms were. Walked me down into the park suite.

And I walk in this beautiful suite and the staff at the Essex house had cleared out the walls and put my script up on the walls. No. No way. And they said, Manuela told us what you're doing. We wish you the best of luck. Come on. Finish your script. That's amazing. And that moment really changed everything for me. That's incredible. I never knew that.

That's so fucking incredible. What a great... story about humanity and people and belief and all that kind of... Also, I like to think that Manuela, before she knew it was a screenplay, she was nervous because she had all these cards about going to Vegas and killing a hooker. She's like, I got a serial killer here.
