How they pitched this movie

Writer: Okay, here it is. We've got a kid needing a liver transplant. They find one and they've got a limited time to get the liver to the kid. And all sorts of things get in the way. But don't worry, his mom is a doctor. And his dad is a paramedic.

Producer: Yawn. You need a gimmick. Something we can sell in theaters. Liver transplant? Booooring. Why don't we just do a whole two hours of sick kids and Marlo Thomas asking for money.

Writer: I know now what kind of a person we'll have being the doctor's boss. Okay, the plane crashes in a storm. In fact, the storm causes all the problems in getting the liver to the kid.

Producer: No. Not just a storm. The storm of the century. The worst storm in the history of MAN!

Writer: But this is a movie about a kid needing a new liver.

Producer: And the whole town is destroyed like Germany in World War II! Except of course for the hospital.

Writer: Are you crazy?

Producer: You want me to make the movie or don't you?

Writer: How about the kid's mom does the liver transplant herself?

Producer: Oh, come now. No one will ever believe that.
