But here’s another one…and you watch this because you must get intense about it. A gentleman, who is in the audience tonight, he writes this, that he finds…of course, he’s an artist and so maybe he has to fire his Imagination with some peculiar twist, as he said, a negative twist. And so, “This is what I do. I stand in a long line for a deposit in the bank and the very last, and I’m annoyed. I’m annoyed that I have to wait in this long line to make a big fat deposit. And so I get a kick out of my own annoyance, because I’m annoyed that I have a big fat check in my hand to deposit at the end of this long line.” He said, “That’s the twist in my mind.” “And so, I’ll go back eight years. I was new to TV eight years ago. And so, one day I discovered my house needed painting when at the moment I didn’t have the funds for a real job of painting the house, and so this is what I did. I imagined the house painted. I was annoyed with the painters at the window; they could see me taking a shower. That annoyed me that they could look right on me and see me taking a shower. And then I saw and could smell the wet paint. Then I took my hand, all in my Imagination, and put it on the paint. I didn’t trust the sign and it was wet. So I got more annoyed that I had paint on my hands.” Well, he said, “The very next morning after I did this, I had written a pilot which was under consideration back East, so I called my agent and I asked the agent if he had any news about the pilot. He said, “No, but I was just about to call you because” (he mentioned this person by name) “he just called me and asked me if you would take twenty-one thousand dollars cash for your residuals? Well, he said, “At the moment, I didn’t know I had residuals. I was so new in the business I didn’t realize I had residuals coming from things already shot. But this man appeared, bought out his partner (he’s a producer undoubtedly), he bought out his partner and was trying to buy out everyone connected with this series and hold it all for himself; and was trying to get it for fifty cents on the dollar. So my agent said to me, ‘Knowing this man’s attitude towards money and how he operates, I’m going to suggest that you take this $21.000 and just run like a thief…because, just take it, take the twenty-one thousand.’ So, he said, I did, and to my knowledge I don’t think anyone else in the series ever received anything from their residuals. But he said, I was so new in the business I didn’t realize I had residuals. So the house was painted.”787 ¶13
