Matt Winston looked at the two dogs as they both were panting, and then he looked back to William. Matt could tell immediately that William was really serious about having these two dogs co-star in a multimillion dollar movie production.
“Dogs?” Matt asked. “You want our movie to star a couple of dogs? Brad Green (the head of Paramount Pictures) may be nuts, but he’s not that nutty.”
“What if I told you that Muff Dog and Leon Hound were devoted followers of the Zigog religion, just like Brad is. And, on top of that,” William said, “they’re gay dogs.”
Matt looked at the two dogs, visualizing what William had just said, and shook his head to get the image out of his mind.
“They’re dogs, William.” Matt repeated. “Dogs are not gay.”
“And that’s the beauty of it,” William said, trying to make a point. “They just do whatever or whom ever they want to do, and no one says anything.”
“And they’re Zigog believers?” Matt asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
“I have been reading up on the Zigog religion.” William said. “Not only do they believe mankind came from space, they also believe that dogs carry the souls of unborn followers who will be reborn as humans in the future. In fact, Muff Dog here, according to his owner, Alan Alda, will be the President of Peru two hundred years from now when he’s reborn.”
“Really?” Matt asked softly. “What about Leon Hound?” Matt asked. “What is he destined to become?”
“According to his Zigog priestess, he will be reborn as a blond transgender prostitute in Amsterdam and her name will be Lilly,” William said, with leering eyes and lust in his voice. “I’ve been thinking about plying Leon with wine and kibbles and bits. Maybe he and I can...”
“I don’t want to hear about it,” Matt said. “Okay, well great, the dogs are Zigog followers. That should get us the funding. Zigog followers are the second most represented religion in Hollywood among the big money players.”
“Exactly,” William said.
William stood up, and walked over to the writing desk in the corner of the den. Matt found it hard to keep his eyes off of William’s well shaped nylon covered legs and fought back the urge to lick his lips. William opened up his desk and brought back the script and handed it to Matt to read.
“Did you write this?” Matt asked.
“Of course,” William said, “and I think you will agree with me that its an instant classic.”
“Why am I not surprised; you wrote it.”
“Exactly,” William said casually.
Matt read the title of the script.
“Star Trek; The Movie Mission, DOD’ger,” Matt read it out loud, and then repeated. “I like the title,” Matt said. “Do you have a director in mind?”
“Yes, and I already spoken to him and he’ll do it.” William said, excitedly.
“Who?” Matt asked.
“Now, before I say who it is, you have to trust me that I know what I am doing. This guy has never directed a movie before, but I really think he has the chops for this; I trust his vision.”
Matt sat back, preparing to hear who William had in mind to direct the movie. Matt closed his eyes, hoping to God, or Zigog, that this person was a real power name, someone who could do the movie justice. Matt hoped it was someone who could work with not only William Sergeant, but with Muff Dog and Leon Hound.
“Ozzy Osborne,” William said.
Matt slowly opened his eyes, and again, found himself having to force a smile on his mouth instead of yelled “f” word seven million times.
“Ozzy Osborne?” Matt said. “You trust his vision? No one can even understand a word that man says anymore.”
“I had Ozzy read my script at a Lakers game, and he loved it.” William said.
“Was he sober?” Matt asked.
“He was able to get the message that the movie tells,” William said. “Then he told me the things he wanted to do with the story, and the guy is a total genius. There‘s a subplot about Lee Hound finding out that his foster father is actually, get this, his real father.”
“He does?” Matt asked.
“Yes, he does,” William continued, as a tear came from his left eye. “Lee Hound has a scene where he is licking his balls, and then he has a memory of being a puppy. In this memory we see Lee Hound playing with his father on Talos V, and we see that his father has a unique stripe behind his left shaggy ear. And, when Lee Hound is a older and mature dog, he sees that same stripe,” William says, breaking up crying as he does, “on his foster father’s ear too.”
“And Ozzy came up with that idea?” Matt asked.
William dabbed at his now running eye liner, and shook his head.
“No, I came up with the part about the foster father being his real father. Ozzy said something to the effect that it sucked balls, and so I changed the scene, and now it all works. The man’s a genius!”
Matt, speechless, looked at the script. He had to remind himself that what he was about to read came from the warped mind of William Sergeant. But, if the movie was going to get made, and Matt was going to executive produce it, and get paid for it, he had to set aside any trepidation and just push forward.
“Alright,” Matt finally said. “I’ll read it tonight in bed, and I’ll let you know tomorrow.”
“Thanks,” William said, as he tried to compose himself. “I think its going to touch you in ways you can’t even imagine.”
“I bet,” Matt said with sarcasm. “I’ll get back with you tomorrow.”
William snapped his fingers and the dogs ran out of the room, and up the stairs. William walked over and pulled a bottle of Captain Morgan out of the collection alcoholic beverages contained inside of it, as well as a glass for him, and a dog bowl for Leon Hound.

Two hours later, in his own bed in his house that over looked the Pacific Ocean, Matt closed the script, having just read the final word. He breathed in a deep breath, and made his hands into two tight fists. William Sergeant had written a classic! And Matt would have his name attached to what would be considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Now that he had read William’s masterpiece, Matt was now very sexually aroused.
Matt reached over and picked up his phone and called a number.
“Sally, its me, Matt.” Matt said to the voice on the other end, “want to come over and play around?”
Matt listened to what she said to him on the other end.
“Yes,” Matt said as he opened reached over to medicine bottle on the side of the bed on a night stand, “I have three of them left,” Matt said as he looked inside of the bottle that contained three blue pills.
Then he listened more.
“Yes,” he told her, “I’ll take all three right now; just hurry up and get over here.”
He listened further.
“Yeah, I have cash.” Then he paused. “500$? Last week it was 200$.” She spoke more. “Oh yeah, I forgot about the Saturday rate. Alright, I’ll go down to the ATM, just hurry up and get over here.”
Matt hung the phone up, popped the three Viagra pills into his mouth, and put on his Pajamas and gathered his car keys, and zipped out the door to head down the street to the ATM and get Sally’s payment. Sure, Sally was a prostitute, and it wasn’t true love, but Matt didn’t care. Whenever the thought of making large sums of money came into his mind it aroused him; mentally at least, and he had to act on it. The three Viagra would turn that mental arousal into physical arousal. His Erectile Dysfunction posed a problem for most men his age, but thankfully God, or Zigog, had created Viagra.
As Matt sped away in his Mustang, and blew the stop sign at the end of the street, he was unaware that he was now being followed by a black and white cop car.
