You are a genius and I worship the ground you walk on and I want to have your baby… I mean if I was a girl I’d want to have your baby! You should keep me since I’d do anything for you, hell, I even bought your daughter Michelle a birthday present for you last week…”</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Sienna">“It’s <em>son</em>. I have a son, not a daughter. His name is Mitchell, not Michelle. Also, you bought Mitchell a copy of ‘<u>Are you There God? It’s me, Margaret</u>,’ and you put the present in my name. So because of your stupidity he is not talking to me. You are a worthless brown nosing idiot and you are fired, so get out of my office.

You should cast her….”</p><p><span style="color: Sienna"></span></p><p><span style="color: Sienna">“Good job, Cory.

Seriously, get out. If I see any of you on a security camera in ten minutes I’ll have you arrested for trespassing. Now, as for the rest of you, I want you to tack twenty of those photos onto the wall. It doesn’t matter who you choose, just place them on the wall. I’m going to do the same thing that all of you should have done hours ago.”</span> Richard walked over to his dart board then grabbed five darts. <span style="color: Sienna">“I’m going to let fate decide the remainder of our show’s cast...”</span> </p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Last Wednesday..</strong></p><p><strong>My Tea Productions: New Hope City, California.</strong></p><p></p><p>Emily Holland, the associate producer of Salton City NEEDS Heroes, walked into Richard Diceman’s office in a panicked manor. <span style="color: Plum"> “Richard, we have a code red situation… The mayor wants to hand over our cast’s headquarters to another hero on Monday.

Got that?”</span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: Plum">“Yes, sir...”</span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: Sienna">“Good.
