At least the writer can now say that said Beverly Hills agency thought his script was "the bomb!" Har-har!

Rim shot!

I approach the query process a bit like I approach golf -- etiquette. I don't play golf without a collard shirt and I would never send a script without a manager or agent asking for it. I'm not a member of their "country club" -- yet. And this may open a can of worms but another thing I would not suggest -- asking your favorite blogger to read your script. We all have to take our knocks and fight our way through the process like ladies and gentleman. Etiquette. Yes, I bend the rules... but I practice restraint at the same time. Just keeping it classy!

A Hollywood agent wakes after a night of hard drinking to find a locked briefcase Krytopnited to an iron collar around his neck. Just as he realizes the briefcase is ticking, the phone rings. He picks it up. "Have you read my script yet?"

Ray: It's "The Player 2"!
