“Let’s be risky today,” says Jerry Renfro.

“Huh?” says Bowfinger.

“I’m gonna go with this,” says Renfro. “You know, you bring me this script and Kit Ramsey, and you got yourself a ‘go’ picture, Bobby.”

“Uh, okay. Thanks,” says Bowfinger. “Thanks.” Bowfinger turns to Renfro’s assistant.

“I love what you do,” he says to the assistant. “Here’s my card.” Bowfinger hands the assistant his business card, along with the fake ponytail that was in his pocket. “Oh, just keep that.” says Bowfinger, leaving the restaurant.

“What was that?” asks Renfro, laughing.

Outside, Bowfinger leaps up in the air. “A ‘go’ picture! A ‘go’ picture!” He turns to the valet and asks, “You don’t know anyone who knows Kit Ramsey, do you?”

Meanwhile, at Kit Ramsey’s house, Kit is yelling at his agent. “Damn it, Hal! I’m the biggest black action star in the world! Where’s my ‘Hasta la vista, baby’?”

“What are you talking about?” asks Agent Hal.

“My ‘Hasta la vista,'” says Kit., “Look, if Arnold Schwarnzencracker is gettin’ to say lines like that, you better make sure that Kit Ramsey has s**t that’s equally well-written.”

“The script has that moment,” explains the agent.
“When?” asks Kit.

“You say, ‘I enjoyed meeting you, Cliff,’ ” says the agent. “Then you push the guy right over the cliff.”

“That’s too much for the audience to think about!” says Kit. They have to know the guy’s name is Cliff,

that he’s on a cliff, and that Cliff and cliff are the same. It’s too cerebral!”
