Toxic_Kisses have you googled it? At a quick glance it looks like theres something about it regarding a DVD a Book and a play, It would help a lot more if I knew witch you were talking about, I realize you probibly don't have time to look for yourself other wize you would be doing so, but like I said it would help if I knew if you were talking about the DVD the book or the play, I may not find what your looking for but I'm willing to give it a try. 031016 ... neesh the book is the play, which was probably performed and recorded onto dvd, it's just david mamet's "oleanna". i did google it, but the nearest i could find to the actual script were summaries, which all completely ignore this sentence, because at first glance it's not very relevant. thanks for the suggestions though, TK 031016 ...
