- One million dollars.
Whenever I get good news, I always take a moment to
enjoy it on my own. Dahl's news was crazy good, life-changing, I'm-going-to-Japan-for-nine-months-to-make-a-million-dollar-movie
good, so I lay on my bed for a long while, savoring the moment before it was tainted
with anything real.
I walked downstairs, went into the living room where
my dad was watching TV, and laid down on the crummy old white sofa with a huge grin
on my face.
"What?" My dad asked.
"ESPN is going to pay for the movie."
He gave me a look to see if I was serious. His face was stunned. Then he pivoted
in his chair and grinned. There's no better feeling than making my dad proud. One
of the first things he said was something I will never forget.
“Someone else
has now given you money to make a movie," my dad said. "This is real."
