He had finally reached the distributors of the movie.“No it’s alright, I understand,” Don said. “And you’re right a deal is a deal. I am not sure that Mrs. Lockwood feels the same way about this though.” “You think she will sue us?” The distributor asked.“No, I don’t think she’ll sue you. But she’s not going to be happy when the movie opens up in the USA either,” Don said. “So for the sake of my marriage it would have been good if you could have stopped the USA release.”“I’m sorry if it will cause you any personal problems Mr. Lockwood. But everything’s already been put in motion so that’s really quite impossible to do now.”“But it could be done if you pulled some strings right?” Don enquired.“No like I said it is impossible,” the CEO said and Don swallowed, as he just knew that Sue Ellen was not going to be thrilled with this news.“Oh I see, I guess if it’s really impossible we just have to accept that.”“Yeah and don’t forget about the publicity deal either. You promised to promote the movie and well even if Mrs. Lockwood is unable to do that we still expect you to fulfill your part of the promotion,” the CEO at the distribution company reminded Don.“Alright I’ll do the publicity tour,” Don sighed. “I mean, if the movie really can’t be pulled it won’t hurt cashing in on it instead.”“I’m glad that you see it our way,” the CEO said, then after a beat he added, “Also don’t forget what this movie has done for your career. I mean in this business a director is only as hot as his latest movie and take it from me Don. You are smoking hot right now.” “I know it’s never been this easy to get backers for my film projects before,” Don smiled.“Well good then I think we have an understanding.”“Yes we do,” Don replied. “And if you’ll excuse me I’d better go home and pack now. It seems like I have a lot of travelling to do.”“That you do, bye Don.”“Bye,” Don said and the distributor boss hung up and Don sighed, since he just knew that this might spell the end of his already vulnerable marriage. Yet he knew that if worst came to worst it was better to be a divorced rich man than to be a poor married but miserable man. Besides maybe Sue Ellen wouldn’t divorce him after all. Maybe his marriage could still be salvaged, if he made some sacrifices. Like let’s say move to Texas. However at this point Don was not sure if he really was ready to give up everything that was home to him and relocate to Texas just to stop Sue Ellen from divorcing him.</blockquote>
