Sample dialogue
No, really. Memory’s not perfect. It’s not even that good. Ask the police, eyewitness testimony is unreliable. The cops don’t catch a killer by sitting around remembering stuff. They collect facts, make notes, draw conclusions. Facts, not memories: that’s how you investigate. I know, it’s what I used to do. Memory can change the shape of a room or the color of a car. It’s an interpretation, not a record. Memories can be changed or distorted and they’re irrelevant if you have the facts.

scene 4 — INT. DERELICT BUILDING — DAY <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>I can read people and I‘m thinking bad actor. Now I’m suspicious and I order more tests.
scene 41 — INT. JANKIS HOUSE FRONT HALL - DAY ##BLACK AND WHITEThe police gave me the report themselves. I dealt with them a lot in my insurance job, and I had friends in the department. They must have figured that if I saw the facts of the case, then I would stop believing that we needed to find John G.

We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I’m no different.
