Burn After Reading

The Coen brothers work up a script.

...

Joel: We could have this CIA guy who quits…

Ethan: …and decides to write a book about the organization…

Joel: And then his wife copies stuff off his computer…

Ethan: … onto a CD and then she goes to a gym and leaves it there…

Joel: And then a trainer finds it and tries to sell the secret stuff to the Russian embassy but it’s not enough, they ask for more…

Ethan: …so the trainer breaks into the CIA guy's house...

Joel: But runs into another guy who's having an affair with the CIA guy’s wife…

Ethan: …and this other guy shoots the trainer…

Joel: Pretty violent.

Ethan: But we write comedy through violence. That’s what we do.
