    To save you time later

    Why don't you just list all the coaches you've ever met.

    Sorry that just won't do, I've just got pictures of Terry Thomas in my mind now.

    What about O'Malley?

    Well I'll leave the details to you as long as there's foxy bird with a big 's' on her top, I'm happy.

    RE: Moustache twiddling

    Patrick O'Malley sounds good, years of investigative journalism have left him scarred and cynical, sub-editing has made him hard and coffee stained and the last few years of editing the whole damn paper has resulted in the gnarled old veteran we see today, solid, dependable and just a little bit crazy.

    Ah, that'll be O'Shaughnessy/O'Malley's daughter, the love interest for the diminutive hack. She goes to Stockholm University (hence the 'S') where she's been studying the runes for some time. It's she who first suggests that they may have something to do with Dave's disappearance.

    RE: Don't worry

    Any chance you can make the film first, so I can work out if the book will be any good?

    I'd like to be involved in casting O'Shaughnessy/O'Malley's daughter if that's possible. In fact you focus on the screenplay and I'll focus on casting.

    Rosco can supply pipe tobacco or something.

    OK

    I'll do the screenplay and you can do the film. I'd like it to be in the style of Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe films. You can phone me up to expand on unexplained plot detail, like Howard Hawks, and I can feed you some guff about keeping the action going while pouring myself another whiskey.

    RE: OK

    Phillip Marlowe, didn't he write all that Shakespeare stuff - "Thou art cometh unto mine bedchamber" and stuff? Think it was in black and white.

    RE: OK

    I'll get Rosco to supply the whiskey as well then.

    Don't worry about keeping in touch, you leave the film to me. If I don't read your screenplay is that going to be a problem, because it'll be like reading a book and I'd rather watch the film first.

    I'm sure we're on the same wavelength though. Hot girls in leather and the odd werewolf thrown in to make the sex scenes more frantic and that?

    I'm good thanks, I wouldn't mind a cafe creme though? Are they in your contract?

    Hang on

    Sounds more like Buffy the Language Slayer. I think I've lost overall artistic control of this project rather early on. Still, if it sell the book then go for it. I'll be drinking whiskey and working on the sequel if you need me.

    Marlowe

    That'll be Christopher, his long lost brother. Many similiarities, though, such as the fact they were both in black and white as you pointed out.

    RE: Casting suggestion

    I saw that but he's already applied for any role of any of the cast that gets to touch up any women.

    He doesn't want paying either.
