Okay, now put yourself in my shoes for a minute. You’re sitting in the kitchen, it’s after three in the morning, and your girlfriend’s dog has just told you an idea for an entire movie.

“So what do you think?” Bob asks me. “Does it have legs?” And, I swear to Christ, he kind of chuffed at his own joke.

By now I’m so fucked-up I don’t know what to do, so I tell him, yeah, it’s a pretty good idea, it’s obviously a kids’ movie, Disney maybe, maybe animated, I gotta think about it, maybe we should turn in, sleep on it, blah blah blah.

“Okay,” Bob says. “No problem. If you like it, it’s yours.” And he gets up, pads over to his water bowl, takes a few laps, and goes upstairs to bed.

I could tell he was disappointed. I wanted to follow him, tell him it was an excellent idea, it’s just that I’m more of a realistic drama–type writer, plus I don’t have a lot of experience listening to movie pitches from a dog. But I didn’t. I thought it was a better idea to go back up to bed, sleep for a couple of hours, and, in the cold light of day, reassess what I’d just been through. Assuming, that is, I even remembered it, which, I gotta tell you, I was more than half hoping I wouldn’t. And of course I swore to myself that I’d never say a word about what happened to a living soul. I mean, would you? Especially not to Diana, who I’m pretty sure would have sent me packing, or at least sent me off to the puzzle house for extended observation.
