>"Okay, so you have this kid, and she's from New York, right?""Yeah, big city thing, yeah? We've done a couple of those but it doesn't resonate with the kids. Urban life appeals to adults more."
>"Yeah, so we take the girl OUT of New York!""Okay, great."
>"Then put her on the island with this kid who invents stuff out of coconuts, like Gilligan's Island.""Alright, I'm following. Sounds fun."
>"And the conflict of every episode is that a deserted island is fucking boring and all the island kid does is make modern appliances from coconuts, but in every episodes the modernity makes their life worse.""Huh. I'm detecting a moral."
>"Also the inventor kid mumbles all the time, and the OTHER kid will be a whiny antagonist who never wants to participate in the show's action.""So she sabotages them?"
>"No, she'll complain, but then find other stuff to do.""Okay."
>"Did I mention the theme song will include the words 'on the island where nobody goes', and the plot of every episode will be that nothing happens on this terrible, boring island?""Fund it."
