Revision as of 04:26, 6 June 2007
This is the first seduction of the film, in which we realize that Kati and Alex are definitely going through with the bet. In this scene, Alex "seduces" Hallie by making a bet with her that if he wins (some game), she'll kiss him. He cheats, and wins, thereby getting his photo.
They are playing chess. Hallie gets up for a moment and Alex switches the position of some of the pieces while she's not looking. When she kisses him, they both start getting somewhat more into it than anticipated. He caps the photo while they have their eyes closed. This is almost unimportant, as the most important aspect of it is that Hallie gets quite disturbed--not only by Alex's behavior, but by her own willingness to betray Dylan.
Stop it. Stop it, that's enough.
Here's another draft for the scene, tell me what you think, keep what you like and re-write the rest Hallie/Alex Seduction Hallie knocks at Alex’s door, slowly Greg stands up and walks toward the door, doing a sort of impromptu spin as he approaches, and then opening it, Hallie stands there awkwardly A: Ah, come in, you’ll find that all the preparations are in place for our game, madame
