Knowing:

Int: The Oval Office

Aide: Mr. President, we have a situation. It’s about the Giant Nicolas Cage Head orbiting our planet.

President: Yes, the GNCH. What’s its status?

Aide: It crashed into New York City two minutes ago.

President dramatically removes glasses.

President: My god. Are you sure it was the same Giant Nicolas Cage Head?

Aide: Yes, sir. It had the same puzzled-yet-determined expression, just like Nicolas Cage had in The Wicker Man.

President: Puzzled-yet-determined? I thought it was more sorrowful-yet-stoic. Like in Bangkok Dangerous.

Aide: No, Bangkok Dangerous was confused-yet-furious. You’re thinking of National Treasure 2.

President: No, he was totally sorrowful-yet-stoic in Bangkok Dangerous. He totally was.

Aide: Sir, I don’t know, he kind of has the same expression in all of them.

President: No way! No way did you just say that about one of our most versatile living actors! Guards! To the dungeons with him!

Ext. Pier

Woman: Sometimes I just come out here to think. I leave work and my family and all that stress behind and I just come out here. It’s so peaceful, you know? There’s the seagulls, and the water, and the sound of the surf and the big blue sky. And there’s you, of course.
