You may have narrowly won the election, but my IP is still mine. Mr. Luxon's feud with me wasn't a referendum on my screenplay. It wasn't a referendum on the Beatles either. It was an election. In fact, AMPP swinging the polls via a campaign which cost fuck-all is a statement that our party is more trusted than most politicians or showbiz phonies. - Our ads creamed the lot of you, including the left-wing parties. Everyone else spent hundreds of thousands on online ads. We spent under $10,000. Our marketing stats were really strong. I was told privately that we were polling around 40%. It was a satirical party, but people really dug our policies and messaging. Most importantly, we managed this without breaching the Electoral Act. AMPP is likely to continue; the rest of the team are keen to do it again in 2029. - I wrote Weeded Out. You tried to steal it from me. I wrote The Perfumed Garden. You tried to steal it from me. I wrote serious classical music. You stole it from me. - McCartney didn't steal my songs from me. He promoted them. You can't spin my Imagine Triptych as an audition to be Tina. Sorry. That ship sailed when Sir Paul put AMPP on American TV. If my show was good enough for NBC, then it replaced Weeded Out. You want to steal my new songs to make money; don't lie to me. - You can't ask me to replace dead cast members in London. I don't need the money. The new covers are apparently worth millions. Even if they're not, I've got things to do in New Zealand. Lots more Māoritanga to learn, including rongoā (if possible). I'd also like to get a grounding in Samoan, now that I've discovered my ancestry. That can't be done via correspondence. I need immersion to level up. I've worked all year without being paid because Paul was broke. It's not money that motivated me to write the new albums and scripts. One of the themes of this year was that the Beatles are a global thing, rather than something that belongs to England. The boys were all of Scottish stock anyway. That's where my Scottish heritage came in handy. - At the end of the day, you'll need to change the Hobbit Law to bring in the bucks. Given that you're all national parties, I'd think a $200 million investment is substantial. We're actually willing to waive the rebate. If Imagine has billions to spend, then it's moot. That makes the investment even more substantial. If Imagine bases itself in Wellington or Auckland as well, it'd be like Xero or TradeMe. My efforts with Sir Paul and Sir Peter to save their business might net y'all billions in tax. All it takes is giving screen workers sick pay, sick days and unionised benefits. I'm sure lots of your kids want to work on the proposed movies too... - Everyone likes the Beatles; they just hate that I'm the new one. I've been an official Beatle since our feud with Sony led to Paul's kidnapping. Were you this rude about Adam Lambert replacing Freddy Mercury? Were you this rude about Lawrence Arabia joining Split Enz? Wētā has other clients, but the Beatles films are roughly a quarter of their business. If you want them to touch up Disney films, then they need this account. I know that ACT doesn't care about workplace safety, but Apple Corps does. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W7T3uLRrURXBTpWh3wE0FgftGs0N3FBQ/view?usp=sharing
