"Thanks for coming in early."
"No problem."
"Listen, we caught the show last night. Me and my wife."
"The Green Thumb episode? What did you think?"
"Almost no frowns from the lead guy. Marcy liked that. His hair looks even blonder. That also worked for her. Here's a thought I had driving in this morning. How about giving him one of those One Direction haircuts? That might bring my daughter and her friends into the viewership. Never forget the younger cohort in this business. But listen, Marcy misses the sarong. We discussed it could be a signature for him. What happened to that?"
"We tossed the idea around but decided it wouldn't work in the colder climate of the U.S."
"So he'll wear knee high socks when it's cold. You had the perfect set up for that when the old girlfriend gave him the socks. She could have rolled them slowly up his bare legs. And the winter sarong could be wool. I'd have no problem with a variety of sarongs."
"We were thinking about maybe bringing back the vest—-"
"If you want to him to wear the vest, skip the shirt underneath, OK?
"We'll revisit that."
"I'm not finished with my wardrobe comments. When am I gonna see that girlfriend in a skirt? He's worn a skirt for god's sake. I want to see that broad in something revealing. She needs a wardrobe that's aspirational for the female 18 to 49. And that means halter tops, short shorts, micro-minis and f-me shoes. She's always in these frumpy pants and blazers. No wonder the poor bastard doesn't want to do it with her."
"That's an interesting way to look at it."
"On a positive note, Marcy liked the shot of his ass when he got in the van. Very tastefully done. Put a few more of those in every episode."
"We'll look for those opportunities."
"I have to go to my kid's recital so let me leave you with one more point. The code with the list of names, what was it, The Blake Society? That Red John thing? Enough with that. No one cares what happened there. Pretend he never had a wife and a kid that were killed. Or that he killed the guy after ten years of looking. Enough with the depth. Now he's sassy, sexy, smart and ready for love. Get it? Got it? Good."
