It seems weird that I feel that this is a dialogue when really I don't have contact with anybody else. However I'm going to announce that I am going to bed in about three or four minutes, just so it's obvious where I've gone. Because I suppose I do feel that this is a dialogue. A pretty slow-paced and frustrating one, but nevertheless. (and if everyone else has already gone to bed, then I certainly feel stupid, don't I?)

Thanks. Same to you. Text is horribly impersonal, isn't it? I mean, for example, an exclamation mark seems really insincere sometimes, although people do exclaim things.

I always thought it was spelled "Rafe". (That's how I've always done it.) Credit for the locker room snapshot idea ought to go to Hallie, because I think she thought it up (I did, however, write it). In that case, I suppose this film will have to be rated R (of course it won't ever get to have that level of distribution, but you know), although even without that it would have anyway since I enjoy using the word "fuck". Yes, good night.

Oh, and I suppose it's not "see you tomorrow" anymore. It's "see you today". Either way, I will.

'''I'm here.  I wasn't, because I was reading, but now I'm back.'''

- - It was see you tomorrow when I wrote it. Yes, I spelled Rafe's name incorrectly. It looked peculiar when I was reading through what I had written– but it makes sense: I can't recall a time when I've needed to spell Rafe's name *or have thought about it for that matter.). Anyway, I'm going to go to bed.

I don't even know what you're talking about, but it's totally Rafe.

Well, I might not go to bed at this exact instant, if everyone is here (metaphorically). That was mostly an expression of loneliness...

Oh, never mind, I suppose I will, if it's the general consensus. I do that sort of thing SO OFTEN. Good night.

Wait, did everyone else go to bed or not?

Whatever.  Night.

Welcome to the wiki for the work-in-progress Rom Com (a marginally elaborate romantic comedy).

Feel free to explore and work on the characters, overall plot, list of scenes, or soundtrack.

Note to all: Entire screenplay idea cancelled due to lack of initiative (it would require updating every time you make a scene change.)

Other Note: I decided to delete the script list. Maybe we should communicate better. Although when it comes to it, was either one necessary at all?

Note the Third: I don't think either one was, really. But I am also a sycophant and therefore untrustworthy.

Note the Fourth: I don't believe you.

Fifth Note: That's sort of sweet, I guess.

Fifth Plus One Note: I always call people liars when I'm trying to be sweet. That's why you cast me as the sincere one.

Note VII: That wasn't exactly what I meant. I mean, you said that I was lying about being untrustworthy, thereby implying that I was trustworthy. Which is nice.

Note the Maybe Last?: I know.

Aimee–I like where you're going with the Chinese dinner scene and I'm envisioning my exit. I assume you mean over Aimee's shoulder shot. This is good because then Alex and Aimee dominate the frame, while Dylan seems insignificant. The shoulder shot should first focus on Aimee as Dylan gets up to leave. As we follow Dylan to the door,the camera begins to focus on him. Perhaps we see him only from the back: he is rejecting all of us, viewers included. Then, as he is leaving, focus turns to Aimee, and you try to convey Saddness? Longing? with your facial expression. Something subtle and heart-wrenching. I remember watching "The Man Who Cried" with some of my extended family. There was a scene in which the Cate Blanchett character glances seductively at her boyfriend, John Turturro, and their eyes meet for a mili-second, before he quietly looks down and ruins the moment. It's not too subtle a moment– but subtle enough that only they share it. And that could be a similar, very poignant scene in our movie.

I think that would be very lovely.

I have two minor dilemmas: The Party and Photo Montage. So if anyone has a free moment, help would be greatly appreciated. (Although come to think of it, we could deal with those things a little later, as they are minor.)
