Sample dialogue
... so Mom. Truly no grudges -- truly. A little odd that you didn't come to see me when you heard I was hurt, but the important thing I want you to know is your son is happy. I'm working again. I'll make do -- I don't want a thing. Wouldn't take it if it was offered. I'll drop you a note from wherever I land and then it's up to you. I hope we patch things up but know that if we don't, I wish you both the very best... I can't hear you. You heard me, though, right? Good -- take good care. 'Bye.

scene 5 — INT. SIMON'S APARTMENT, ENTRANCE HALL - NIGHTYes... well, there's one more stage -- trying to figure out if it's any good.
scene 19 — INT. SIMON'S APARTMENT, STUDIO - DAYOh, my gosh.
scene 61 — INT. SIMON'S APARTMENT - DAYNo... Okay. What I do is watch and wait for, um... You ever watch someone who doesn't know you're watching... an old woman on a bus, kids going to school and you see this flash come over them and you know immediately that it has nothing to do with anything external -- that it's in respond to a private thought they just had? They are just sort of realer and more alive. And when you notice it so are you. If you look at someone long enough, you discover their humanity.
