On Writing

Earlier in Act one

E - I used to write most of my scripts but with my stuff
well I could never get the emotional scenes just right, you know?
Actually some of the stuff I wrote was pretty bad, I have to say...

[Stage lighting illuminates an actor speaking one of Erwins monologues in a cut scene]

[His hands are behind his back, his is speaking intensely, from the heart to an unseen person]

Film actor - Why did you let me down. We were inseparable, I was there for
you after Bonnie left.It was me who helped you pick up the pieces man.
In my life I've never seen anybody so wiped out emotionally, it was like [cut up]
I don't know man, rescuing a child from a buring caravan, and now we're here and I'm telling you........
.....GIVE ME THE MICROFILM COCKSUCKER!!!!!![raises a pistol as he says it]

Pause

P - Erwin, that's awful!

E- Yeah, total dreck. That's what we have writers for.
Plus someone has to be at the bottom of the pile, right! [chuckles]
