David Letterman: So, there was a movie opening this week, what was it, _Jonah Square_, _Jonah Pentagon_…?

Paul Schaffer: _Jonah Hex_.

DL: Yeah, that was it. I guess if it’s only moderately successful, there might be some straight-to-DVD sequels. They probably won’t start Josh Brolin, though, and instead of that expensive face make-up, the guy’ll just wear a big Band-Aid.
