Like all people whose talents consist chiefly of being somebody’s boss, they view the final product with misgiving. Anything seems better to them than what they have wangled out of a half dozen scenario writers by sneer and bamboozlement. You have only to come up with some new cockeyed psychology and some fresh plot turns, no less half-baked than the original ones, to be hailed as a literary Marine. The main requirements are to be firm about the whole thing, and to be ten or twenty times overpaid for your services. The movie Satraps respect, above all other evidences of genius, bullheadedness and anyone who is earning money for nothing; for these are the two qualities with which they, themselves, are gifted.
