:12:00
I don't have any use for it!
:12:02
I don't have any bloody use for it!
:12:07
Okay, thanks.
:12:12
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
:12:13
No. Thank you.
:12:15
Thank you so much, Mr. McKee.
:12:18
This course makes you look at writing
in a whole different way.
:12:23
- Mr. McKee.
- Yes?
:12:25
I'm the guy you yelled at this morning.
:12:30
I need more.
:12:31
I'm the one who thought
things didn't happen in life.
:12:36
Right. Okay.
:12:37
- Nice to see you.
- I need to talk.
:12:41
Mr. McKee, my even
standing here is very scary.
:12:44
I don't meet people well.
:12:45
But what you said this morning
shook me to the bone.
:12:48
What you said was bigger than
my screenwriting choices.
:12:50
It was about my choices
as a human being. Please.
:12:56
Yeah.
:12:59
Well, you know...
:13:00
...I could sure use a drink, my friend.
:13:05
"...but a little fantastic
and fleeting and out of reach."
:13:09
Then what happens?
:13:12
Well, that's the end of the book.
:13:15
I wanted to present it simply...
:13:16
...without big character arcs
or sensationalizing the story.
:13:19
I wanted to show flowers
as God's miracles.
:13:21
I wanted to show that Orlean
never saw the blooming ghost orchid.
:13:25
It was about disappointment.
:13:29
I see.
:13:32
That's not a movie.
:13:34
You gotta go back, put in the drama.
:13:38
I can't go back. I've got pages of
false starts and wrong approaches.
:13:43
- I'm way past my deadline.
- I'll tell you a secret.
:13:49
A last act makes a film.
:13:52
Wow them in the end,
and you got a hit.
:13:55
You can have flaws, problems,
but wow them in the end...
:13:59
...and you've got a hit.
