I agree.13 s.lot or was it a script? No. We were bought on that from this kind of a thing presentation. ?╟≤ .in other words, we told them what we were going to do we told them the people who would play the leads and we told them the kind of show it would be and it was sold in that way. There was no ttkStm pilot. Just as there is no pilot involved in this. Well, I'm just asking a very Simple question about this particular thing. We'll stay on this and forget serf aides and ail the other products. I just want to know whether whea you get through with a film, an hour's picture, and if I show it on a TV screen, are we going to be able to See the second one before a you start shooting? Yes, you can see this....I mean the first one before you start the lead. If you get approval today does that mean that you'll give it by episode?

I have no idea what's gonna start happening. I give a short exerpt and a man falls out of a door..he's dead. That takes about five seconds. This thing runs an hour. I don't know what's gonna happen. I get the feeling that the best we can get is the worst of it, you See, under this type of an arrangement. Mow I don't want to be belllgerant, but we're going into something here where Las Vegas has got a lot less to gain.than it has to lose.about ten thousand to one and I'm gonna state flatly that I am not gonna commit the Dunes Hotel to 32 or 39 one^hour episodes' series, have it all toonwld (sounds like) together and then at the end Sit back there and watch It deveiope in front of me for 39 weeks .with the pock Shots at the Dunes infiltrated into different things and guys falling out of garbage cans, which may be a little unkind. 1 just cannot tell what's gonna
