Taken from a Voicemail from Oscar Nom, to whom I FINALLY gave the pilot:
Oscar Nom (O.S., filter): Hey, Melissa, I just finished reading (THE PILOT), and I gotta tell you, I think it's wonderful. You've done a great job, you should be very proud, and I'm blown away. Call me, though, because I want to know who you've shown it to and what's going on with it. If those agents don't sign you off this, they're idiots, and we'll find you someone else.
I mean, granted, he's a little biased (okay, a lot - my ego's not so big that I don't realize this), cause it's me, but anyone likes to hear the stroke, stroke without the slap.
I feel like you're passive agressively (your trade mark move) taking me to task for my stroke, stroke, slap (my trademark move). Newsflash: I'm not changing. So you have two choices...deal or pretend to deal.
Oh, I know you're not changing. Just don't blame me when I have to seek other avenues for my pure stroke fix, as I like to call it.
I can see it now...in the year 2010 we'll be checking you in for stroke addiction. Which would be a great name for our as-of-yet formed band, except that it's a complete rip off of Jane's Addiction.
Your comment makes it sound as if we have already formed a band. Please do not be such a cruel tease to the rest of the world, Demon - unless you consider your couch-dancing and my vibretto rendition of "Forgivness" band-worthy. I, for one, am holding out for our cover of Michael Bolton's "I Said I Loved You But I Lied" before proclaiming the existence of Stroke, Stroke, Slap.
Exactly. I make it sound like we are going to form a band. But until you take some vocal lessons, I'm guessing our talents in band-ing will amount to squat. Don't hold your breath too long, you might damage your brain cell.
How did I suddenly become the non-talent of this duo? You're the one who couch-dances like Julia Stiles.
Wait...Julia Stiles can't dance. And don't think I don't know what you're saying. You're glad I'm not that "physical" because you really enjoy the verbal beatings more. 'Nuff said.
Ah, yes. The verbal beatings which you post for all the world to see. Clearly, you are okay with the world knowing you are an abuser.
