Book Cover & Preview Text
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM- MORNING
A place where deals are negotiated. There is a large conference table. A tray of refreshments is on top: various drinks, Danish cakes, etc.
Gekko stands as Rolando enters the room, approaches Rolando with outstretched hand to shake, Rolando taking his hand to shake, both shaking and smiling, but both do not stop shaking.
GEKKO
Hi. I’m Gordon Gekko.
ROLANDO
No you’re not!
GEKKO
I’m not?
ROLANDO
Just what I said. Gordon Gekko doesn’t exist...He’s a movie character.
GEKKO
He may also be that. But I’m him... I’ll show you my business card.
ROLANDO
You could print business cards with the Pope’s name. Does that mean you’re the Pope?
GEKKO
Don’t be silly. I’m not the Pope. I’m Gordon Gekko.
ROLANDO
(Getting Exasperated)
Look. You’re not getting my point...( Trying to pull his hand away) And let go of my hand, will you!
Gekko release Rolando’s hand.
GEKKO
Sure. No problemo.
Rolando shakes his right hand to regenerate blood circulation.
ROLANDO
Why don’t I just call you Mr. President?
GEKKO
Because I’m not the President.
Rolando just sighs.
ROLANDO
You could get a card.
GEKKO
That’s just silly.

About the Book
Beware the Eyes of Stink!
Author Takes on Oddly Enchanting World of Horror in Newest Screenplay
NEW YORK – Stink Eyes. It is a look of incredible hatred, a look that – if intense enough, if long enough, if delivered by a person who truly hates – can result in a curse. And it is the look given to Rolando Karputchnick by his soon-to-be ex-wife, Neptune, as she lays dying in the street after a hit-and-run.
Lawrence J. Corneck has done it again, shocking and satisfying readers with his eccentric, outlandish characters and trademark brand of sinister humor in his dark new screenplay, Bald Lubavitcher (published by AuthorHouse).
A companion to Corneck’s previous books, Bald Lubavitcher follows the outlandish and arrogant Rolando from Geezer Pleaser (published by AuthorHouse), who, in typical Rolando fashion, doesn’t seem too upset about his wife’s sudden expiration. His only cause for concern? Neptune’s departing serving of Stink Eyes.
As Neptune fades out of his life, a Movie Buff walks in.
“Not an ordinary Movie Buff,” writes Corneck. “But a Movie Buff from Hell, a Movie Buff who assumes the persona of Major Characters in Movies and then proceeds, if one is a believer in the Occult (and dare one not be), to enforce Neptune’s Curse.”
Rolando sues the Movie Buff, an ex-con who owes him money, and the two hot-headed men get caught up in an obsessive and unusual rivalry that involves company takeovers, a mind-altering painting, mystery and, of course, murder. The Movie Buff’s last big role? A big surprise.
Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. He is also the author of Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy, Big Cigar, small d**k, FAT FAT Snitch and Geezer Pleaser (all published by AuthorHouse), companions to Bald Lubavitcher. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Mime’s the Word, Bubble Catcher, Asphalt Bungle and Bitch Fight at the KO Corral, will soon be available through AuthorHouse. According to Corneck, each of his screenplays will be written in a different genre: cat and mouse, domestic drama, high adventure, coming of age, comedy, romance, horror, tear-jerker, show biz, caper and western.
