Is he a reputable literary agent?
AVOID EVERY book publisher or (agent) for screenplays that sends you a release form saying you basically own NOTHING and have no rights to complain if they steal whatever they think is NOT original. Here's a clue. Nothing is original. If you thought of an idea, chances are lots of other people have too. Words and sentences become original by the order you put them in on a page. Do NOT fall for it and do NOT let them steal your hard work.
