Every fucking day,
somewhere in the world...
1:06:03
...somebody sacrifices his life
to save somebody else.
1:06:05
Every fucking day, someone somewhere
takes a conscious decision...
1:06:09
...to destroy someone else.
1:06:11
People find love. People lose it.
1:06:14
Christ, a child watches a mother
beaten to death on the steps of a church.
1:06:18
Someone goes hungry.
1:06:20
Somebody else betrays
his best friend for a woman.
1:06:23
lf you can't find that stuff in life...
1:06:26
...then you, my friend,
don't know crap about life!
1:06:29
And why the fuck are you wasting
my two precious hours with your movie?
1:06:35
l don't have any use for it!
1:06:38
l don't have any bloody use for it!
1:06:43
Okay, thanks.
1:06:48
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
1:06:49
No. Thank you.
1:06:51
Thank you so much, Mr. McKee.
1:06:54
This course makes you look at writing
in a whole different way.
1:06:59
-Mr. McKee.
-Yes?
1:07:01
l'm the guy you yelled at this morning.
1:07:06
l need more.
1:07:07
l'm the one who thought
things didn't happen in life.
1:07:12
Right. Okay.
1:07:13
-Nice to see you.
-l need to talk.
1:07:17
Mr. McKee, my even
standing here is very scary.
1:07:20
l don't meet people well.
1:07:21
But what you said this morning
shook me to the bone.
1:07:24
What you said was bigger than
my screenwriting choices.
1:07:26
lt was about my choices
as a human being. Please.
1:07:32
Yeah.
1:07:35
Well, you know...
1:07:36
...l could sure use a drink, my friend.
1:07:41
''--but a little fantastic
and fleeting and out of reach.''
1:07:45
Then what happens?
1:07:48
Well, that's the end of the book.
1:07:50
l wanted to present it simply...
1:07:52
...without big character arcs
or sensationalizing the story.
1:07:55
l wanted to show flowers
as God's miracles.
1:07:57
l wanted to show that Orlean
never saw the blooming ghost orchid.
