                       NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:                        

               The Production Assistant, or PA, is                
              essentially a "go-fer", responding to               
                whatever demands for miscellaneous                
              props, labor, etc. the filmmakers have.              


               The Top 9 Signs the PA May Be a Spy

    vans.

 7. Unplanned explosion sequences keep interrupting the wedding
    scene.

 6. Shreds the budget and keeps blacking out sections of the

 5. Knows 27 ways to kill you with a coffee stirrer.

 4. You have to go to the third stall and look behind the toilet
    to find the script revisions.

 3. It's a single-location film with unknown actors but the budget
    is $200 million and the king of the country just died of
    "the flu."

    spooks, twenty nondescript guys in black suits and sunglasses
    show up.
