Back in his office, Ken was on the phone with his friend at the actor agency. He'd just explained his plan to his friend James Grant.

"That's... quite a lot." James said when he'd heard it all. "I'm not going lie, this might put me at a lot of risk."

"I understand." Ken Davis said. "That's why we plan to give you an equity share of the profits, a five percent chunk of a 50 million dollar project."

"That's... quite a lot." James said, trying to hide his excitement.

"This is important." Ken said. "If I'm leveling with you, it's the future of the company."

"Well, then we better make this work!" James said.

"You'll do it!?" Ken breathed a sigh of relief.
