'Gossip, the Rabbi's tell us, is a crime which kills three: the listener, the teller, and the subject. Let me, then, costume my gossip as instruction. I shall, additionally, endeavour to frame my instruction as gossip, that is may be more readily recalled, should the need arise. For there are, I believe, some instructive aspects to this book; I will go further and suggest that anyone who reads this book will not stand an appreciably lower chance of selling a screeplay than those not similarly blessed. For this is, I think, the deeper mystery of Hollywood: What forces are at work, and how might one propitiate them? What is a screenplay? I, for twenty years, thought it a drama, written, not for the audience, but for the benefit of the acotrs, and director, to inform the one what to say and the other where to put hte camera. Read and learn from my mistake.'
