At Hydra, they’re having what I’m sure they consider a brainstorming session. Mental patients may consider smearing feces on the walls to be painting, but that doesn’t make it true, you know? Gene says they’re not going to meet with the executives, because that would waste their time. If this were a regular season, that would have been foreshadowing. I actually convinced myself Gene was getting fired, and I felt happy. Stupid reality. Vincent wants to show three celebrities and a dog. Piers suggests a dog looking for a home, and then he finds a home with a naked Lennox Lewis. Lennox just has this look like maybe this is the seventh or eighth time Piers has tried to get him naked. It’s kind of hilarious, actually. Trace Adkins starts talking about somebody wearing silk gloves and it’s a continuous shot, and Gene cuts him off with “I don’t buy the visual”. Trace gets MAD! They insulted his cinematography! Stephen finally plays the seniority card, announcing that he’s been in film for twenty years. Piers, incredulous, asks “You have?” A quick look at his IMDB page confirms that twenty years ago, Stephen played ‘Gutter Pup’ in the TV movie “The Prodigious Hickey”, so he is technically correct. And that, after all, is the best kind of correct. (He has also played characters like ‘Luna Park Drunk’, ‘Party Guest’, ‘Tuff Hederman’, ‘Realtor’, ‘Lefty’, and, bizarrely, ‘Jack Bauer’.) Stephen decides the ad will be Lennox holding a puppy, presumably while clothed, and that he will direct.
