EI: I've got a few pitches to run by you. Feel free to move on these.
AM: I've got two lines on the phone, so if one's really cooking, I'm going to make it happen.
EI: Will Ferrell as an easy-listening DJ whose station flips to urban format.
AM: [laughs] There's a restaurant called Earth, Wind and Flower. We used to joke that that's a movie pitch, and that's what this movie would be called. You could actually sell that idea.
EI: That's kinda sad.
AM: It is. You could sell that. In fact, someone's going to read this and go, "I will buy that idea."
EI: Well, on the record, they need to talk to both of us first.
AM: God bless you.
EI: Will Ferrell as the Mr. Roarke figure in a new reality show called MILF Lagoon.
AM: Where did this word "MILF" come from?
EI: Um, since this interview is unrated, I guess I can just say it means a "Mom I'd like to [have relations with]."
AM: I think it does. "Mom I'd like to [have relations with]." I like the first idea. The first one's actually working.
EI: I'll have my people, which is me, talk to your people.
Probably a total coincidence but still. Look out for Earth, Wind and Flower, coming soon to a multiplex near you!
