me: this is as crafty as the cia could get?

"Among the more famous misdeeds included a plot against Castro. In August 1960, the CIA recruited ex-FBI agent Robert Maheu to approach mobster Johnny Roselli and pass himself off as the representative of international corporations who wanted Castro killed. Roselli introduced Maheu to "Sam Gold" and "Joe," who were actually 10-most wanted mobsters Momo Giancana, Al Capone's successor in Chicago, Illinois, and Santos Trafficant. The CIA gave them six poison pills, and they tried unsuccessfully for several months to have several people put them in the Cuban leader's food."

her: slipping castro poison pills? clever. it sounds more like the plot of a bad movie than a cia operation.

me: and by unsuccessful, do they mean that they couldn't get anyone to do it? or were they unsuccessful in the actual act of putting the pills in the food? were pills just barely missing plates of food, landing on the floor?

her: i envisioned more like pills being fork-catapulted into a pile of mashed potatoes on his plate, and he would be about to take a bite and then someone from another room would call his name and he would abandon his potatoes.

me: i think that's a likely story …

her: i thought so. and i picture the movie as a comedy.

me: starring the wilson brothers as those failing in their attempts to get the pills in the potatoes.

her: which means that will ferrell would be playing castro, and there would be cameos by ben stiller and vince vaughn.

me: i do believe we have just written the best movie of ALL TIME.

her: i'm laughing just thinking about it. we would definitely make millions.

me: we've got to have a love interest though … i'm thinking kate hudson.

her: she's already done an owen wilson movie.. and didn't they break up?

me: it's called acting. and she's funny enough to fit in with that group.

her: i don't know.. i liked christina applegate with them in anchorman.

me: omg. you're seriously going to ruin this movie.

her: no way! will ferrell as castro is a brilliant casting move on my part.

me: well, i want kate hudson.

her: i'm not convinced.

me: nor will you ever be.

her: when our movie bombs because of her, i'm blaming you.

me: whatever. she'll be a cia operative that falls for castro … and is the one that foils all the attempts (by oil-ing up the forks) by the wilson brothers to get pills in the potatoes!

her: but i like the character development. i'm willing to compromise. we will have to find a third option for the girl.

me: there are very few actresses that i like, though. how 'bout demi moore? or drew barrymore? or any of the charlie's angels for that matter?

her: i veto cameron diaz's gigantic mouth.
