:29:16
What?
:29:17
- You wanna hear my pitch?
- Go away, goddamn it.
:29:22
You know, I'm just trying
to do something.
:29:29
Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Cool.
:29:31
Okay, there's this serial killer, right?
:29:34
Well, no, wait.
And he's being hunted by a cop.
:29:36
And he's taunting the cop, right?
Sending clues who his next victim is.
:29:40
He's already holding her hostage
in his creepy basement.
:29:43
So the cop gets obsessed
with figuring out her identity...
:29:46
...and in the process
falls in love with her.
:29:48
Even though he's never even met her.
She becomes like...
:29:51
Like the unattainable.
Like the Holy Grail.
:29:54
- It's a little obvious, don't you think?
- Okay, but here's the twist.
:29:58
We find out that the killer...
:30:00
...really suffers from
multiple personality disorder. Right?
:30:03
See, he's actually really the cop
and the girl.
:30:07
All of them are him.
Isn't that fucked up?
:30:11
The only idea more overused than
serial killers is multiple personality.
:30:16
On top of that, you explore
the notion...
:30:18
...that cop and criminal are
really two aspects of the same person.
:30:21
See every cop movie ever made
for other examples of this.
:30:24
Mom called it psychologically taut.
:30:27
The other thing is, there's no way
to write this. Did you consider that?
:30:31
I mean, how could you have somebody
held prisoner in a basement...
:30:35
...and working in a police station
at the same time?
:30:41
- Trick photography.
- Okay, that's not what I'm asking.
:30:43
Listen closely.
What I'm asking is:
:30:46
In the reality of this movie, where
there's only one character, right?
:30:51
Okay?
:30:53
How could you...?
:30:56
What exactly would...?
