:29:02
l'm so excited. l've always wanted
to come to an orchid show.

:29:05
l think these flowers are so sexy.
:29:10
Let's see what's around back.
:29:33
What?
:29:35
-You wanna hear my pitch?
-Go away, goddamn it.

:29:40
You know, l'm just trying
to do something.

:29:47
Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Cool.
:29:49
Okay, there's this serial killer, right?
:29:51
Well, no, wait.
And he's being hunted by a cop.

:29:54
And he's taunting the cop, right?
Sending clues who his next victim is.

:29:58
He's already holding her hostage
in his creepy basement.

:30:01
So the cop gets obsessed
with figuring out her identity...

:30:03
...and in the process
falls in love with her.

:30:06
Even though he's never even met her.
She becomes like....

:30:09
Like the unattainable.
Like the Holy Grail.

:30:12
-lt's a little obvious, don't you think?
-Okay, but here's the twist.

:30:16
We find out that the killer...
:30:18
...really suffers from
multiple personality disorder. Right?

:30:21
See, he's actually really the cop
and the girl.

:30:25
All of them are him.
lsn't that fucked up?

:30:29
The only idea more overused than
serial killers is multiple personality.

:30:34
On top of that, you explore
the notion...

:30:36
...that cop and criminal are
really two aspects of the same person.

:30:39
See every cop movie ever made
for other examples of this.

:30:42
Mom called it psychologically taut.
:30:45
The other thing is, there's no way
to write this. Did you consider that?

:30:49
l mean, how could you have somebody
held prisoner in a basement...

:30:53
...and working in a police station
at the same time?

:30:58
-Trick photography.
-Okay, that's not what l'm asking.
