Debra Salhany: So, how did you meet your wife?
Peter McGowan: She was a lap dancer, I had a pocket full of singles... No, she was a dancer. For a brief period, she gave acting a try. She came in for an audition, and the rest as they say is histrionics.
Debra Salhany: So, you employed the casting couch?
Peter McGowan: Hey, whatever works. You know that, Deborah.
How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog (2000)
Plot summary
Directed by: Michael Kalesniko
Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Robin Wright, Lynn Redgrave, Suzi Hofrichter
Peter McGowan is a British playwright who lives in L.A. with his wife Melanie and mother-in-law. In the 80s, Peter had many hit plays in theater but now he has a streak of flops. Complications surround him: his wife wants to have a child (but he doesn't), he's impotent, his mother-in-law is senile (and must be taken care of 24/7), he's having trouble writing a new play and he's suffering from insomnia (and his neighbor's dog's barking certainly isn't helping him get some sleep). But then new things come into Peter's life: a single mother and her daughter move into the neighborhood and a stalker who claims that he is Peter McGowan (who likes to take late night walks in Pete's neighborhood).
