Production meeting for a Bond movie

A: Comrades, welcome. Now we need to decide on this new film, OHMSS.  Yes, B?'

B: There's a gignormous international conference in a clinic in America and they plan an epidemic:

C: Make it a medical research place, say Johns Hopkins -

B: Good and we run it in, say, October and they say it's just looking at scenarios to circumvent and things will be back to normal in weeks -

A [coughs]: We can't actually run that, B, there are reasons I can't ... er ... go into just now.

B: But it's so far-fetched, A, no one in a million years will buy that it's less than fantasy.

A: [coughs again] B, just look at this if you would [hands the article across].

Officials in the state of Saxony — which is experiencing one of the worst outbreaks in the European nation — have already approved plans to hold quarantine-breakers in a fenced-off section of a refugee camp, the Telegraph saidAnother state, Brandenburg, also plans to use a section of a refugee camp. 

In Schleswig-Holstein, repeat offenders will be kept in a special area in a juvenile detention center, the report said, citing Germany’s Welt newspaperThe state of Baden-Württemberg has two hospitals with rooms to hold the scofflaws, which will be guarded by police, the report said.


B: [Reads, sits back, stunned] You don't actually mean.  Right, I do see that, I do.  All right, how about Blofeld escapes, he's in a mountaintop lair, developing a vaccine for a virus which ... oh I don't know ... the Chinese made, in collusion with elements within the States.  He has a whole lot of girls up there and they'll super-carry it around the world, in each of their countries -

A: Er B, still not farfetched enough, can't be any suggestion ... I mean, there was that idea we shelved of some Star Wars facility in Iceland - it just can't run, too thought provoking.

C: I know, how about Man attempts a moon landing, our man stumbles upon the film set -

A: Er C, I can see you're crestfallen at my being a wet blanket here but [cough, strokes his cat] well ... there are reasons.

B: We did mock up this scenario, A.  Care to look? [All eyes turn to the screen]

A, C: That's the one, let's run with that - completely unbelievable, well done, B.
