“Need name of old TV series pilot A few years ago (possibly many years ago) I saw part of a pilot of a TV series. The plot: the main character was trying to secure funding for a film. I remember two hilarious scenes and would like to see them again:
(1) The main character is in a nightclub, kind of out of his league, with some slightly unsavory characters from which he’s trying to get funding. Finally they agree and he’s happy for a moment. thereupon one of them pulls out a monster knife and cuts the palm of his hand, hands the knife to our hero to do the same, and says, “let’s shake on it.” As I recall, the main character faints.
(2) Towards the end of show, he’s giving a speech to

the folks in his office telling them how they’ve got funding, but everyone’s going to have to totally focus and not spend a penny on anything frivolous. During that, a helicopter lands and he says that he’s taking a vacation for a couple of weeks in some exotic location. As part of that speech he says something really funny about some women at the office treating an accidental pinch as a sexual assault and whether they can’t work as a team soon after possibly they don’t belong (that’s the gist, but probably not 100% accurate). What is the name of that TV Series pilot and who is the main actor? I can picture him. I’ve seen him before. But I don’t think I ever knew is name. Thanks.”
