:11:02
The script I'm starting,
it's about flowers.
:11:06
Nobody's ever done a movie
about flowers before.
:11:08
- So there are no guidelines.
- What about Flowers for Algernon?
:11:12
Well, that's not about flowers.
And it's not a movie.
:11:15
I'm sorry. I never saw it.
:11:17
How...? Okay, keep going.
:11:18
Look, my point is
that those teachers are dangerous...
:11:21
...if your goal is to try
to do something new.
:11:23
A writer should always have that goal.
Writing is a journey into the unknown.
:11:27
It's not building, you know,
one of your model airplanes.
:11:34
McKee is a former Fulbright Scholar,
Charles.
:11:37
Are you a former Fulbright Scholar?
:11:43
Say something. I dragged her here,
and now I'm not saying anything.
:11:46
Make her laugh.
Say something funny.
:11:49
I hate parties, Amelia.
Why did we come here?
:11:52
Because we're hip, young trendsetters
on the make, aren't we?
:11:54
More like old losers
sitting on the floor, maybe.
:11:57
Jesus, Charlie. Speak for yourself.
Okay...
:12:03
Charlie, we're gonna fix you up.
:12:05
We're gonna solve the whole Charlie
Kaufman mess for once and for all.
:12:09
- Okay.
- Okay, let me see.
:12:11
What do you need?
What, what, what?
:12:15
Well, I'm glad you took
the orchid script.
:12:18
I think it will be good for you
to get out of your head.
:12:21
I think it'll ground you to think about the
bigger picture, about nature and stuff.
:12:25
I still can't believe they gave me
that job.
:12:28
I mean, after that lunch.
I was sweating insanely.
:12:32
I was ranting. I was a mess.
:12:35
You were just nervous
because she was pretty.
:12:37
How do you know she was pretty?
:12:39
After eight months of knowing you,
I think I get what makes you sweat.
:12:44
Well, whatever.
Well, moving on, what next?
:12:47
You need a new getup.
This whole flannel shirt thing...
:12:50
...it's not really doing anything
for you anymore.
:12:57
Thanks for coming out
with me tonight, Amelia.
