[Here in the kitchen cabinet, Roxanne is having a snack break is the bag of salted crackers to eat]

Arnie Becker:
Roxanne, you got crumbs all over the Barringer File.

Roxanne Melman:
Better than the alternative. At least salted crackers stay down. [Roxanne looking up the file] But this note.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Any word on Lucy?

Roxanne Melman:
Still missing. Oh.

Arnie Becker:
What?

Roxanne Melman:
I guessed wrong about that salted crackers. Whoa. [Roxanne is heading somewhere to cool off. Douglas saw Roxanne took off]

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
So what's the latest on Mike Hoover.

Arnie Becker:
Over a budget.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
How's that?

Arnie Becker:
Long and short, I read your books ever written, we have to make cuts.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
What did you take out?

Arnie Becker:
A little judicious trimming here and there. Chapters 4 through 12.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Those chapters were the heart of my stories.

Arnie Becker:
Douglas worldwide wouldn't have to make any cuts, if we reschedule the production. The scope for the material may be too intimate for a big-budget release.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Ah, a smaller boutique presentations, similar to a foreign film?

Arnie Becker:
No. More like a movie of the week. It - it now takes place, no women's prison. Haa.
