Great memo! We need to turn into a concept. Let’s do lunch. Have your people call my people.

I would expect nothing less.
And the dumptruck would be driven by two guys — one kind of like Michael Clarke Duncan and the other kind of like Steve Buscemi.
Who will banter with each other in a way that is supposed to convey how working class they are, but which fails because it’s so obviously two actors doing an improv exercise.
But the audience takes it because it’s a short scene and oddly endearing anyhow.
Somebody should run this movie plot by our @Donald_Petersen. He might know somebody who knows somebody…

Ah yes, but there is also a woman among the Rock’s construction pals. She goes by the name “Babe” Babanovski. She wears flannel shirts and swears a lot. During the climax she takes down a National Guard helicopter with a backhoe.

So, yeah, two women. That seems like enough.
Well, the angelic little daughter has a nickname, as we find out when he says, “Don’t worry, Pumpkin, Daddy’s coming” just as the mother’s cell phone battery dies before she can tell him her water just broke.

Love this comment:
I’m going to post this in our kitchen as a reference chart.
