You know, Nick, I think a kidnapping could give this movie a wider appeal. I mean, it's pretty hard to find an audience these days, right? Unless you're a marvel movie, star wars, whatever, yeah. Yeah, doesn't sound like this is that. No, Vivian, it isn't. This is an intelligent film for grown-ups. Now, personally, I want a smart, character-driven, adult drama about real life, real people. But the reality is, most people need a bit of a hook to get 'em into the theater. Okay, now you're talking about marketing. And if you're talking about marketing, then, yes, you do need a hook to get them into the theater. Well, get 'em into the theater. Come on. All you need is a trailer moment.

Vivian, this is a grounded, adult drama about two tough, sensitive men and their unlikely friendship. They're kind of like dueling Christ figures. Which is obviously a pretty revolutionary idea in itself. But what is not a revolutionary idea is a kidnapping. And if I bring that into the mix, Javi's gonna know something's up. He's a hardliner for tone, and this mission will be blown. Okay? Jesus fucking Christ!

Bad news. Girl's not there. Good news. Script's cooking. Feels like cassavetes meets inarritu with a dash of Von trier. Nick, but... I know what you're gonna say. Javi has his issues but, my god, he has an unbelievably intuitive sense for story. He kidnapped a young girl. And every day that passes, the likelihood goes up that she's gonna be murdered by Javi or one of his men.

Custom Springfield armory. Made specifically for the film. Is this supposed to be me? It's... Grotesque. Just look at the guns. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for this disturbing statue? Hmm. About $6,000. I'll give you $20,000 for it.

What do you want me to do now? I don't know. I'm still figuring that out. But for now, why don't you add a plotline to your movie where someone gets kidnapped? That way you can see where he might, theoretically, hide a hostage. I'm working two jobs here.
