You'd have a pretty amazing team with Ricky Gervais as The Hawk and
Hugh Grant as Lyle, but they'd have to be based in London. Jim
Broadbent could be their agent.

Also, briefly, about Grease 2 -- to me it feels like the kind of 'bad'
that isn't all that fun to watch. The cast look a little pained.
Which is NOT like Xanadu, where most of the people seem to be having a
great time or maybe they're just not sure of what's going on, which is
fine - join the club! I love Xanadu.
