Yeah, this is the same Pete Jones from PGL. Looks like he finally gave up on them Irish-American family dramas.

This is encouraging news and perhaps will bring some good publicity to Project Greenlight in a roundabout way.

Doesn't the wife in this story seem real dumb? Or maybe by giving him a "Hall Pass" she can also get a "Hall Pass" too. This doesn't look like there will be a happy ending to this story, unless breaking up is the happy ending.

Breaking up is hard to do... but it's worth it. :p

I'll give 10:1 odds that, through his attempts to cheat - which will go poorly - he'll realize that his wife is the only one for him. Happy ending.

You're probably right. I'm such a sucker for a happy ending. :love:

10-1?

Even money. That's the only way this story can end.

Thank you.

Was it supposed to be 1:10? I always get it wrong.

But if it's a sure thing, it can't be even money. That's silly. You have to offer long odds to get the bets balanced.

I have read this script and it's excellent. Laugh out loud funny. You're part right with your guess.
