And now for my next act...
I have here for you my favorite scene in the whole movie. This happens to be the best scene in the film. Now that may be an overstatement on my part, but I can name a few reasons for this scene being great. This is some of my best writing, it features the counter point of seriousness and comedy that I have loved in other feature films. This scene comes about halfway through the film, and makes a great addition to the movie. Its going to be shot outside a bar... perhaps in my mothers home town (I will talk more about that later). Now I could keep talking about this scene... or I could show it to you. So here it is.
Trina and Trevor leave the bar for the outside. Trevor is still very much drunk, Trina is painfully sober. (We could shoot this scene outside of gavins... same with the scene before*)
Trevor
You are really nice... You know that. Hey, hey... Why are you helping me?

Trevor

Trina
Because... This is my bar. And you are some drunk. And I have a certain ammount of respect for this bar, so I don't want you passing out in there. Its just not Kosher.

Trevor
But why do you even care... You are pretty... You could be in there picking up any guy you wanted... but you are out here with me.

Trina
Well maybe I don't want to meet just any guy, maybe I want to meat some one cool.

Trevor
You wouldn't... would you. You probbably want to meet a nice guy... a good guy. Maybe some one cute. Some one funny.

Trina
You know you are a good guy, Trevor... you know that right.

Trevor
Some times I don't think that. I wish I was an asshole some times... and asshole. I know that I am not... its kinda dissapointing, but I was never raised to be a asshole. But I alway wished I could be one.

Trina
Why?
Why?
Trevor
People don't like assholes. It means that people don't hang out with assholes, so it avoids bullshit. I think I like that better. I don't what to have to deal with bullshit... and people... people make bullshit. I hate that... Bullshit.

Trina
You realise that is bullshit. You know that right? By being some one that you are not, in your case an asshole. You are lying to your self and others. that lie will fester within you and will make you unworthy of what you do have.
Trevor
So what do you do... This is my sheild, its stops me from being hurt. It is hard for me to drop that sheild. I only ever did that with Mary... or when I am drunk.

You find some one who doesn't judge you... and doesn't give you that bullshit...

At this point he tries to kiss her, but Jeffery and Nathan bust out of the bar, running and giggling.
Nathan
Come on, Trevor... Run.
Come on, Trevor... Run.
Trevor
Huh (Sobering up quickly... but not completely) What happened.

Jeffery
Long story short, there is a man named lucey that isn't very happy with us.

Cut to Jeffery and Nathan standing at the bar next to a biker dude.
Nathan
Wait... wait... wait... Are you trying to tell me that your name is lucey? like... seriously. Lucey?
Wait... wait... wait... Are you trying to tell me that your name is lucey? like... seriously. Lucey?
Lucey
Yep.
Yep.
Nathan
So when your husband comes home... does he ever say, "Lucey! You got some S'palining to do"?

Jeffery
Or do you ever hold a ball for some bald headed kid... and then he falls on his ass.

Back to them running
Nathan
Punch it, Chewie!
Punch it, Chewie!
Trevor
Bye, pretty lady!
Bye, pretty lady!
Trina
(She is odly sad when she says this) Bye.
(She is odly sad when she says this) Bye.
Now none of you may be asking why I would use my moms home town for this scene. It is an hour out of the city, it is small... well, the reason is simple. I know the town... not well... but well enough. I know that I could call in a few favors and get us a "nice" bar to shoot the movie in. Plus it makes a good place to shoot the scenes for Susans house (thats right, my grandparents home would make a great place to shoot a "rich" home).

2 things, not sure if you want to hear it or not, but i got bored and read your entry, dont be offended, i'm jsust a picky person, so iguess heres my opinion, whether you use it or not. i dont want to offend you or your style of writing. so yeah 2 things :
Trina
Because... This is my bar. And you are some drunk. And I have a certain ammount of respect for this bar, so I don't want you passing out in there. Its just not Kosher.
Trevor

Trina
Well maybe I don't want to meet just any guy, maybe I want to meat some one cool.
Where is the connection between that girl Trina being like" well your jsut some guy in my bar" to her and trevor talking about her wanting to meet "not jsut any guy"... if trina doesn't know trevor, then you need to spend more time, or make the lines more effecient and clever, to establish a relationship between the two characters. AND dont use the " its no kosher" line.. its SO old its not even remotely funny. Other then that your scene is pretty good even though i can't really picture it AND i dont really know teh rest of the story. Anywayas dont take any offence, i'm jsut feeling bored and opinionated. And ONE MORE THING.. did you write your script on your own? becuase sometimes collaboration with others makes scripts 10x better. just a suggestion. DONT HATE MEEEE!!! <3
