JACK
Jamie, you can't be suggesting--this is what happened in the damn movie--

Weber is really great here, I esp notice at these aside-lines like: "what - this - this is what happened in the movie" and also a min before, not in the rough script: Jordan says you can't keep the Big Three from talking to the press and one guy says What does Detroit have to do with this? and Weber as Jack: no - not - not the car company -
his frustrated sputter-speaking is great.

(Bravo is airing the pilot right now. I like this pilot a lot.)

Television Without Pity » Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip » Pilot:
Someone else is puzzled about the 'big three' comment: 'what does Detroit have to do with this?' Oh, for Pete's sake. I have never, ever heard anyone mention 'the big three' in reference to auto manufacturers outside of an Aaron Sorkin movie or TV show. He can't seem to shut up about them. huh - funny. And that's fine when we're in the White House -- those guys are paid to know these things. But some random network flunky, in the middle of a crisis like this, is going to hear 'big three' and think 'car companies' off the top of his head? Anyway, Jack's almost as exasperated by the question as I am and says the 'big three' that they're concerned with are 'Harriet Hayes, Tom Jeter, and Simon Stiles,' the leaders of the cast.

exasperation. Weber does great exasperation. (do I dig exasperation or what?)
