the karate kid guy

he has worked all this life for this moment. he had studied communications. he had worked as a runner for eight years. he had chosen carefully the people he slept with, leaving the love of his life behind. he had spent more hours at the office than any other. he had wiped, and painted. he had got his promotions. he had bribed and manipulated and betrayed. and he was there at last. at the scheduling meeting. finally there when the moment came and someone said, damn, what the fuck are we going to show on sunday at midday? finally there to say, casually, hey, why don't we show karate kid again? everybody loves it. and to see all round the table nod. and to make sure that karate kid gets shown on the telly, again.
