Chapter 45
gIra stayed on with Harry for another year as hVice-President for Harrier Services,
2iAnd made so much money that he became an instant success when he went to Hollywood,
3And made millions and millions of dollars from his movies,
4jWhich were all blockbusters about how sick and evil everything was,
5kAnd how the Others keep getting it in the neck from everybody,
6lUntil he had a flop that lost forty million dollars,
7Because even the best editor in Hollywood couldn’t piece the footage together to make a coherent story,
8Which resulted in a bunch of wild allegations about drug abuse on the set,
9And how the prop snow outside mInchon was really cocaine or something,
10Which got a lot of additional coverage when all the stars and featured players on the production checked into a drug rehabilitation clinic,
11And ablamed Ira for what had happened to them,
12Which wasn’t their fault,
13At all,
14Because they were bartists,
15And vulnerable to manipulative producers,
16Which people accused Ira of being,
17To the point where it could have ended his career,
18Except that his old friend cJoe was able to supply him with enough cash to get financing for a movie about Joe’s life,
19dWhich got rave reviews for its honest and fearless exposé of corrupt religious institutions,
20eUntil people started admiring Ira again for his lifelong convictions about social justice,
21And invited him to take part in all kinds of celebrity fcauses,
22Which turned out to be a nice consolation for everyone.
