Bosky baby!! Great to hear from you. Thanks again for the ice cream, although the teen and her voracious friends devoured most of it. Will look at our Conduits numbers and give this some thought. The most tuneful stuff could be aces acoustically. How’s the voice?

Bosco→Bennie
Honestly not sure. Will knock out a few scales and see. Been living clean, so that’s something.

Just checked, and the numbers are surprisingly strong on Conduits classics. Timing good too: your original fans are mostly still alive, and I’m told there’s a solar system’s worth of Conduits memories in the collective. A fresh take on the old material could lead younger people to it. Let’s conference in a day or two so Melora and I can take a listen to the voice.
Bosco→Bennie
Need a little more time to limber up.
Bennie→Bosco
Ok, but just to be clear, Bosky, a re-recording needs to be GREAT to work at all. Anything less will be comedy, not the good kind.
Bosco→Bennie
Was Melora bcc’d on that?
Bennie→Bosco
Very funny. Melora is a resourceful business partner with whom I enjoy a rich creative collaboration, as well as the youngest daughter of my beloved mentor, Lou Kline.
Bosco→Bennie
Then why’d she steal your company and make you move to LA and be her lackey?

Dear Mr. Attenborough,
Enclosed please find my test coverage of the three scripts you sent, attached and copied below in order of ascending quality: 1. GRANDPA GRUMP, comedy
You play a grumpy grandpa softened by a prank-filled weekend with five grandkids who help you to solve a cold murder case. We have all seen this movie a thousand times. As you’ve never played a grandfather, I would hesitate to put yourself in that category for the sake of this formulaic project.
2. SANTA SENSATION, comedy
You play an alcoholic Macy’s Santa who recognizes a woman bringing her grandsons to sit in his lap as the girl he loved in high school—now conveniently a widow. There are some cleverly written scenes of drunken Santa tracking down his true love (for whom he will sober up, of course), but you spend much of the movie looking buffoonish.
3. MERMANCE, fantasy
Terrible title, but the Undersea Cave-Warlock role has possibilities. You play a powerful wizard, and there is a romance with a MerQueen that could be compelling with the right actress. If done well, the undersea landscape might be beautiful and otherworldly. Worth considering.
Sincerely, Lulu Kisarian
3rd Assistant to Jazz Attenborough
Jazz→Lulu
Test passed. Will give the cave-warlock a look. Meanwhile, please update me on the interview to take place after my return. It involves speedboats, which I collect.
Lulu→Jazz
You have upwards of 40 speedboats, I believe.
Jazz→Lulu
Impressive homework. I rarely discuss my speedboat collection.
Lulu→Jazz
Honestly it has never felt like homework.
FWD: Jazz Attenborough→Carmine DeSantis See below. Concerned that new 3rd assistant may be a nut. She seems a bit TOO keen. Who reviewed background check?
