LESLIE (O.S.)<\/center>
\n
Come in.<\/center>
\n
JOSS (entering)<\/center>
\n
Hey, Leslie.<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
Hey, Joss. What\u2019s up?<\/center>
\nThey shake hands and JOSS sits in one of the chairs across from LESLIE.
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
Well, here\u2019s the thing. I think I can get Sarah to sign up for one more season with Buffy.<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
JOSS, that\u2019s great news!<\/center>
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
Yeah. Listen, there\u2019s sort of a catch.<\/center>
\n
[beat]<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
A catch?<\/center>
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
Yeah. Remember the promise you made to me about Angel when we moved from the WB?<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
Yeah. The offer stands. Why?<\/center>
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
Well, I want the same deal for Firefly. Next season. Complete control. In exchange for Sarah\u2019s signature.<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
Umm. Okay…<\/center>
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
I want it on Wednesdays, with Enterprise leading into it so we can get that lead-in demographic while simultaneously displaying our complete superiority.<\/center>
\n
LESLIE (hesitant)<\/center>
\n
Jeez, Joss. I\u2019m not sure if those guys will —<\/center>
\n
JOSS (cutting in)<\/center>
\n
As an added bonus I\u2019ll let you continue to pretend that you have a network without me.<\/center>
\n
[beat]<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
Really?<\/center>
\n
JOSS<\/center>
\n
Promise.<\/center>
\n
LESLIE<\/center>
\n
Aww hell, you should have led off with that, buddy! Let\u2019s get our contracts team on this!<\/center>
\nLESLIE picks up phone in an excited rush.
\n
JOSS (templing his fingers)<\/center>
\n
Excellent.<\/center>
