Money Guy: So tell me about this movie you want financed. Scriptwriter Guy: Well Brad & Angelina... MG: Good start. Very bold. I smell money. SG: ...are assassins who are married to each other, but they don't know it. MG: Super premise! So what happens? SG: Well, there's a car chase cribbed from Ronin, but that's ok cause it was like 20 years ago and the kids have never watched it cause it was a De Niro flick, and who's he anyway. And some fights reminiscent of John Woo. MG: Hmm, yes, nice sounding set pieces. But what happens? What's the story? SG: It's like I told you. There's a car chase and some fights. MG: I've got that, but what's the story? SG: I'm afraid I don't follow you... MG: I expect you don't. Brad & Angelina you say? SG: Yup. MG: It's a green light for go.
