What you don't do, if you're an adult, is decide that you're going to budget things through a sequester. What does that word have to do with budgeting?

I was a novelist first. But in the mid-'80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, 'You know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.' View quote
