Tommy and Greg.

These are the guys

I was telling you about.

-Oh, hi.

-How you doing, man?

Hey, hey, pleasure to meet you.

How long is the shoot?

As long as it take.

All right.

Uh, we just wanna

make it right, you know?

Well,

I think you're gonna find

everything you need here

at Birns and Sawyer.

Our rental packages

start at about--

Wait, wait, I stop you right there.

Okay.

We don't rent, we buy.

Is that not normal or?

Industry standard is

pretty much that you

would rent the equipment because

it's so prohibitively

expensive to own it.

Okay. I said no problem.

Okay, I guess we'll buy.

You wanna shoot 35 or HD?

Well, we'll shoot both on this film.

Digital and film?

But you'd need twice the crew,

uh, twice the equipment. I mean...

Hell, both--they're lit differently.

It's just not done.

I have vision.

Tommy, the pioneer, man.

He-- that's--

He wants to go outside the box.

It's what he does.

So what, we have deal or what?

Well, let's discuss.

Yeah, give us a minute,

you know, it's just...

you know, not normally

how we do business.

This is weird, who

buys equipment?

-Apparently, this guy.

-I don't know about these guys.

-If he has the money...

-Does he have the money?

How do we know

if he has the money?

We are a business,

we sell stuff.

-Let's sell it to him.

-Okay.

I have an idea.

Follow my lead.

-Do it.

-Okay, okay.

Great.

So...

We are able to sell you

all the equipment you need.

-Okay!

-There we go.

Now, you say yes.

And we're also...

willing to give it to you

at a reduced rate...

if you decide to shoot

here in our studio.

What do you think?

We shoot here?

We wanna be in business

with you, Tommy.

Okay, we make American movie

with American discount!

-Right?

-Perfect!

-Okay, that's a deal, right?

-Deal. Great.

-The character is Lisa.

-Okay.

romantic or a scientist?

-Or is she...

-She is Lisa.

Okay.
