      Charlie tells us that everyone has the capacity to do what I do here but maybe only one person will watch it.

      Not true.

      Who else has those penetrating eyes that Lena mentions? Sorry, very penetrating eyes.

      (The little minx.)

      Lena says, "Love the possible" and then Charlie adds "imagine the impossible".

      Here's what Dirty Harry says: http://youtu.be/_VrFV5r8cs0

      Realism.

      Yes, the Pretty Girl Syndrome. I have seen it explode in a room of engineers.

      It works well in a meeting if you know how to play it.

      "The Big Bang Theory" has done very well with it as a comedy generator.

      "Toddlers and Tiaras" takes it to the dark side.

      Both Lena and Charlie tell us they hung out with the adults as children.

      There is something to say for the learning environment this creates.

      If memory serves so did Tiger Woods (father), Venus and Serena Williams (father), Ron Howard (child star), and many other celebrities.

      In China with the one child policy "the little emperors" have six adults.

      Sounds like a PBS special--compare and contrast the majority of black children raised without a father versus the huge families of Mormons and Catholics versus the one Chinese child with a set of parents and two sets of grandparents. Perhaps a sub-plot would be home schooling versus the 5A high school of three to four thousand.

      Yes Charlie, she is an exhibitionist.

      The writing for the part is the standard line.

      By the way Charlie, how about Lena and Quentin on the same plane as you and let's see them work together writing during the flight.

      Magic lies in that combination.

      Girls are so complex one is given to wonder if they can all be considered girls.
