Struggles of Screenwriters in Hollywood

You should keep going.

So we were getting kind of signals that, that, that we were in the right, you know, area code.

Um, but then like when we sold Goodwill hunting, when we sold the screenplay that we, we thought that was absolutely it.

And we were like broke a year later, you know,

really? Yeah.

We, I mean, not broke, broke.

I mean, but like here I'll put, I mean, I guess,

so we sold the screenplay for 600 grand, right.

Which was just so much more money than either of us had ever considered.

It was like, which we split. Right.

And then, but after taxes and agent lawyer and all that stuff, now, now we're down under 150 each.

And the first thing we did was buy a brand new Jeep grand Cherokees.

Now we had, and we were renting this place in LA, you know,

like we, you know, it didn't take long for us to be like, dude, we got to get another job, you know?
