Under the night sky, a black van drove out of Beverly Hills and headed straight for Burbank.
In the van, Martin flipped through an invitation that featured Tom Cruise's portrait and the "Mission: Impossible 4" poster.
Nicholson asked, "Are you sure Megan Ellison will show up at Tom Cruise's celebration party?"
"There's no mistake," said Martin succinctly, "Megan Ellison's brother, David Ellison, who established Skydance Media, invested in 'Mission: Impossible 4.' The film's success has reversed the recent downward trend in Tom Cruise's career. Among the guests invited by Tom Cruise, the Ellison siblings are the VIPs."
Leonardo patted Martin on the shoulder, "Good thing Jack and I followed you here, or else you would have been outmatched. If you lost, it'd be too humiliating for our Trio of Scoundrels."
The van arrived at the Burbank Hotel, and the three of them got out, walked the red carpet, and followed the signs into the banquet hall where the party was being held.
