Sample dialogue
My mother calls me Teddy. I’m John Edward Gammell. Cheer up, there’s a lot of John G’s for us to find. All you do is moan. I’m the one that has to live with what you’ve done. I’m the one that has to put it all together. You just wander around playing detective. You’re living a dream, kid. A dead wife to pine for and a sense of purpose to your life. A romantic quest which you wouldn’t end even if I wasn’t in the picture.
scene 178 — INT. DERELICT BUILDING - DAY <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>No! Should I?
scene 69 — INT. DODD’S MOTEL – DAY <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>I get it – amorous neighbors.
scene 69 — INT. DODD’S MOTEL – DAY <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>Like how’d you get this car? That suit?
scene 115 — EXT. NATALIE’S HOUSE – DAY <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>You tell everyone about Sammy. Everyone who’ll listen. “Remember Sammy Jankis, remember Sammy Jankis”. Great story. Gets better every time you tell it. So you lie to yourself to be happy. Nothing wrong with that - we all do. Who cares if there’s a few little things you’d rather not remember?
scene 174 — INT. DERELICT BUILDING — DAY - CONTINUOUS <<COLOUR SEQUENCE>>174
