about anyone who studied acting at college
Chris: I can portray any of Shakespeare's
major characters. I'll be right back to take your drink orders.

might, just to get my foot in the t.v. door

rules of fonts and physics"
Jessi: Sure I'll fit it on one page - OF
MICROFICHE
Chris: Do you ever just tell him no?
Jessi: Well, I said, "of course, you know
the font will have to be tiny"
Jessi: and he said, "so what do you
think?" and I said, "I think we should put it on however many pages
are required to make it neat and legible"
Jessi: and he said, "ok, great"
Chris: Wow - what an amazing exchange
Chris: I honestly would not have thought to
simply express an honest opinion
Jessi: So, in essence I always say no, but I
make it sound like brainstorming
