development meeting minutes

July 2, 2008

In attendance: Landry Marks (Principle), Katie Delano (Head of Development), Martin Banner (Screenwriter), myself (Scribe, Office Wench)

Agenda: Discuss sequel to horror movie MOMMY TRIED TO KILL ME (previously SPOILED MILK), opening wide in August.

10:00 AM

Meeting begins. Landry re-announces our film will be getting a wide release. Many rounds of "congratulations" consume the better part of an hour. It is generally agreed upon that we are all great geniuses, brilliant artists, sexy beasts, etc.

10:45 AM

Landry brings up the recent title change for the film, spurring a second round of needless self-congratulations. Each attendee takes a turn explaining the intricate, yet vast greatness of our new title. Generally takes the form of:
- This new title is so amazing. What were we ever thinking with the old one?
- I know, we are such unparalleled masterminds of the universe.
- I have such a very large penis!

11:30 AM

Landry approaches Martin with the idea of doing a sequel. Martin appears interested. They discuss whether he will be paid nine or ten times the amount of my yearly salary. They settle on ten.

11:50 AM

We determine the following things in the next forty-five minutes:
- The sequel should be scary.
- The lead character should be in it.
- The mother (who died in the last film) should not be in it.
- People should go and see it.

Martin suggests Abigail and her "father" become engaged in a tryst. I laugh out loud as he is obviously joking. I am told to leave the meeting.

12:40 PM

Am invited to return to the proceedings in order to take the lunch order.
