## Role In The Film.

### Elf (2003).

Walter's associates, Morris and Eugene Dupree suggest bringing in Miles Finch (a famous book author) in an attempt to create a better idea for a children's book plans. Walter agrees, and the three men call Miles to see if he wanted to help them. He replies that he will give them only five hours of his time.

In the next day, Miles arrives at Greenway Press corporate headquarters within the Empire State Building in New York City. He is called into the meeting where they discuss a children's book ideas. Right when Miles is about to pitch his idea, Buddy barges in to inform Walter that he fell in love with Jovie, and then when he sees Miles (thinking that Miles is an elf due to his dwarfism), Buddy asks him how he left the North Pole. Unfortunately, Miles takes this the wrong way and thinks Buddy is insulting him. Miles goes on saying by telling him how he gets more action in a week than Buddy does his entire life, and that he owns houses in Los Angeles, Paris, and Vail, each one of those with a 70 inch plasma screen TV.

Then he dares Buddy himself to call him an elf one more time, Buddy takes this literally and whispers to everyone around him that he is an angry elf. Unable to control his temper, Miles jumps on Walter's table, charges at Buddy, and attacks him. Holding him in a headlock on the table, Miles dares Buddy to call him an elf one last time and Buddy again takes this literally and tells Miles he is an elf. As Miles keeps attacking him, Miles violently pushes Buddy off the table. Walter tries to explain Buddy's misunderstanding, but Miles angrily ignores him and storms out of the building without pitching his book idea. Getting up, Buddy, still thinking Miles is an elf, claims he must be a one from the South Pole. Livid, Walter shouts at Buddy for ruining the meeting and harshly disowns him, furiously screaming at him to get out of his life.

During the midst of everything, Miles has forgotten his notebook from left behind, which Morris and Eugene find and read it. However, they observe that it was chock full of genius ideas, so Walter tells them to get the new storyboard ready for the book.

## Trivia.

* He's an angry elf. He must be a South Pole elf.
* It's Miles Finch's notebook, pitching better ideas about Greenway Press corporate headquarters.
* He's not the boss of the publishing company, Fulton Greenway is. I think he was just an established freelance author with a huge fan following that they brought in to help them gurantee their new book would be a hit.
