And we are talking about an episode of Little America called the Rock, which we all wrote together.

Well, yeah, it's only 65,000 but you see the rock right?

Little America is an anthology series that is eight stories that are based on the actual true story immigrants who have come to America that are dramatized by us and a team of other people.

This episode is about a guy who lives in Yonkers with his family.

They live in apartment, and he wants to buy his first house in states, and he's looking with a realtor and he can't afford anything.

And he finally finds a property that has an 8000 square foot rock on it.

And he's like, All right, I'll get rid of the rock and then I'll build my dream house.

Him and his family are from Iran, and this episode is really about this man trying to defeat this indestructible rock.

It would've been great if we've got to stand there for a whole half hour.

Great time to invest right here in young.

It's exactly like New York, but less loud and much cheaper.

I think this scene represented one beat going from I've got a great credit score.

My credit score is 710 being like, Oh, this is gonna be much harder than I thought and it's on Lee 610,000 a t.

Want to show with this sequence one what his problem is, but also his attitude.

As each house he goes, Thio, you see that he's like, That's okay, I can work with it.

I can work with this and that sort of who he is.

I wrote, at least maybe the first version of this that Ronnie's described as forties poofy hair mile a minute.

And then in the later version, Ronnie is described as forties poofy hair uncomfortable smile.

This is the place bang for your buck on Lee.

What I I hate doing in any draft of anything is describing someone physically connect something.

Right, But to meet movie here signify so much about a human being.

You can kind of instantly picture what that person would be like.

We sort of have an image of what a Realtor is like in our heads and started this description sort of plays into that.

There was the most charming addict with this beautiful floral paper.

You're trying to come up with character names.

You're like, OK, well, Ronnie, we'll figure it out.

Well, it's office and I could be my mom's name.

So basically the original draft, what we had was he's going in different properties and each one is slightly cheaper, but well outside of his rage.

And we just thought it would be a funny montage sequence of him, like tempering his expectations every scene.

And we had sort of a funny beat in each house that he goes to see the houses shrink with, the prices shrink until it just becomes a rock that he can finally afford.

However, the reality of budgeting and scheduling meant that we had to compress it into one that one house.

What happens when you start looking at a production schedule is you guys want to the montage where you're seeing eight different houses, or do you want to do 15 other scenes?

I guess we should maybe haven't ending to the show right on the page because it's so short.

And then each time that there's a sentence that says a different place.

I think we also converted it from square feet two meters.

When he thinks about his place in Iran, he probably thinks of it in meters and not in square feet.

Eventually I wrote the script and then come on.

Emily came in and said, You know what if it was meters way spent the money on for these reasons, I'm after so yeah, it says here that we were going to shoot in a mansion.

Now that means that you have to pay for rent a mention.

Find a mansion you have to pay the neighbor's and asked the neighbors permission to the other mansions.

And so I think that was one of the big rewrites was it wasn't imagine anymore.

It was kind of a modest house, comfortable but not a mansion.

From a grounded standpoint, he probably knows that he can't afford a mansion.

And so it was like not everyone's dream house is a mansion.

His dream house in the show is really nice, but it's not like he didn't choose to live in Versailles.

He was gonna live in a you know, 1000 square foot house is how many.

He's also ripped out from a real estate magazine a picture of his dream house.

He's always kind of looking at this picture that you got from the magazine, as this is the house I want to build for my family go to me.

This is obviously a guy who sees the world as it should be, not as it is on the page, could say, Oh, he keeps talking about his dream house.

But until you see that dream house personified and seeing what the reality is of his situation, where he can afford this one, this one's too expensive.

The listing agent said The squatter will be gone by next week with Farrah as he loves numbers.

By sundown, there goes to SUNY Lehman, 3.65 g p.

He's obsessed with bottom, tremendous pride in himself, and his family is also a musician.

I'm a credit score of 7 10 and my credit score is 710.

My dad always knows exactly what his credit scores and I knew what mine waas.

Whoa, You should see what price Gordon meters.

It's much more sometimes when you do a first pass of something, I'll see like an older person would be like Nah, dawg, And I'm like, Yep, that's me.
