Sample dialogue
I don’t think so. He’s a wreck about her leaving and she doesn’t need that kind of energy. They sit across from one another at the table. MARIANNE (CONT’D) He focuses so much on her and she can feel it. EVA Isn’t that kind of nice, though? That he focuses? MARIANNE Maybe if he had a girlfriend, or something like that, it would balance it out. But I can’t see that happening. Nope. EVA Why not? MARIANNE He’s just - a loser, you know? I hate to use that word, but it fits. Eva nods, her heart sinking. EVA How so? MARIANNE He just never got his life together. Okay, for instance - and this is just typical Albert. When I met him he had nothing next to his bed, like a table or something. Nothing. He’d put everything on the floor. And I thought, this is cute, kind of bohemian or whatever. But when we got married I got us night tables, you know, like normal people. Then I was in his house, I don’t know, a year ago. And I saw all his stuff on the floor again. I mean, I took the night tables, granted, but you’d think he’d get some new ones. Metaphorically speaking, he’s not building a life for himself. You know what I mean? The phone rings and she looks at it.
scene 70 — INT. MARIANNE’S HOUSE - DAYIt’s so cool you saved her! Marianne just smiles. Eva brings the conversation around.
scene 56 — EXT. PALISADES BLUFF - DAYI tried really hard. He’d go on so many diets and cheat all the time and act shocked when he got fatter. It was so irritating. It almost wasn’t the weight that bugged me, it was hisbehaviorabout the weight. Just then TWO FEMALE HIKERS (30’s), who are going in the opposite direction, give Marianne a double-take. FEMALE HIKER Excuse me, are you Marianne Hope? MARIANNE Yes. FEMALE HIKER Oh my god. OTHER FEMALE HIKER You are our idol. We were just talking about you! FEMALE HIKER We admire you so much. I can’t believe we’re meeting you! Marianne shakes both of their hands. MARIANNE Hello, so nice. Thank you so much. FEMALE HIKER You have no idea how much this means to us. She gave me Beautiful Fruit when my mom died and it literally saved me. MARIANNE How wonderful. I’m so sorry.
scene 56 — EXT. PALISADES BLUFF - DAYYou know, these are all little things. Ultimately, I think I just never felt understood by him. He didn’t understand my poetry. He just nevergotme.
scene 70 — INT. MARIANNE’S HOUSE - DAYFunny, and very sweet. We never stopped talking. It felt like we were old friends already. MARIANNE In a good way? ‘Cause that can sort of kill the chemistry. EVA No, it was good. Flirtatious. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to kiss him though, but I think I do. When I first met him he didn’t seem attractive to me. He’s not typically handsome. But now I think he’s kind of sexy.
scene 27 — EXT. MARIANNE’S PATIO - DAY
