The document outlines two potential film scripts. The first script is about George and Nathan, film students where George is the ideas man and Nathan is cynical. George proposes making a film about two guys who can't decide what to film, but Nathan says that's too cliche. George then proposes a more complex film about making a film about making a film, and Nathan slowly smiles, finding the idea amusing. The second script is about a drug exchange between unnamed characters, where one character asks for "the stuff" and they exchange money for broccoli, playing on expectations.
