Life Lessons: How Movies Work

If You're Dylan McKay:
1) Mention you'd like to write a screenplay with your rehab buddy, a 50 year-old guy working the front desk in his parents' motel
2) Immediately find yourself at a Hollywood party filled with producers who approach you and claim to be very interested in working with you on your project which at this point doesn't actually exist
3) Your partner somehow recognizes so and so as “the hottest sound guy in the biz, he should definately score our film,” to which you skeptically respond “well, he’ll have to understand my sensibilities about the film.”

If You're Anybody Else in the World:
1) You write a screenplay
2) Nobody cares
3) You eventually die
