Which I believe they use to thatch
the roofs of their traditional chickee huts.

:09:08
How about that?
With the chickee huts, right?

:09:10
Yeah, he's right. That's exactly what
we use them for. Chickee huts.

:09:19
Yeah, but I don't...
:09:21
I can't let you fellas leave yet.
:09:25
- Just hold on there a minute.
- Okay.

:09:30
Charles, is that you?
:09:34
Did you eat lunch?
:09:36
I had that shrimp cocktail in the fridge.
Was it yours?

:09:40
I hope not. I couldn't remember,
so I ate it.

:09:44
Maybe we should write our names
on our food items from now on.

:09:47
- What's with you?
- My back.

:09:49
Charles, you'll be glad. I have a plan
to get me out of your house, pronto.

:09:54
- A job is a plan. Is your plan a job?
- Drum roll, please.

:10:00
I'm gonna be a screenwriter.
Like you.

:10:03
I know you think this is just
one of my "get rich quick" schemes...

:10:06
...but I'm doing it right this time.
:10:07
I'm taking a three-day seminar,
and it's only 500 bucks.

:10:11
Screenwriting seminars are bullshit.
:10:14
In theory, I agree with you.
But this one's different.

:10:17
This one's highly regarded
in the industry.

:10:19
Donald, don't say "industry."
:10:21
I'm sorry. I forgot.
:10:23
Charles, this guy knows screenwriting.
:10:26
People come from all over
to study with him.

:10:28
- I'll pay you back as soon as l...
- Let me explain something.

:10:31
Anybody who says he's got "the answer"
is going to attract desperate people...

:10:35
...be it in the world of religion...
:10:36
I just need to lie down
while you explain this to me.

:10:39
Sorry. I apologize.
:10:42
Okay, go ahead.
:10:44
- So...
- Sorry. Okay. Go.

:10:46
There are no rules, Donald.
:10:48
And anybody who says there are
is just, you know...

:10:50
Not rules. Principles.
:10:54
McKee writes that a rule says,
"You must do it this way."

:10:57
A principle says, "This works
and has through all remembered time."
