Alex and Kati's Bet
From Rom Com
During this scene, Alex and Kati come up with a bet to see which one of them can seduce the most people. In this scene, Alex and Kati make the bet that will drive the majority of the film. We must really believe that they are rivals and will do anything to show each other up. Probably there should have been some of that in the previous scene. Everyone will have left. They are still in the cemetery. (I think they should reference a lot of past competitions and ridiculous exploits during the course of this conversation.) I think they should also make it obvious that they've noticed Hallie's attraction to Nick (something like "but she won't cheat on him ["him", being Dylan.]." "She'd cheat on him with me." "She'd cheat on him with me." "Want to bet?")
Should we say the first one to take fifty photos?
Why not a hundred? Or two hundred? Why do we need to stop?
Slightly disorienting close shot of Kati. Her head is in much more of the left side of the frame, but she is looking almost directly face-on at the camera. She is quite grave.
This type of game doesn't end with a number. I wouldn't be satisfied.
All right. First one to break?
They shake hands.
First one to break.
