Blue Jay Page #3

Synopsis: The two main characters, Jim and Amanda (Mark and Sarah) were high school sweethearts, but as time has passed they moved on with their lives and they have now become adults who have had their own different experiences along the way and now that they have reunited, we find they still have that chemistry between them. This was great casting, these two actors work really well together, normally I throw 9's and 10's all over the place These characters are so natural, so done with this earth in the sense that they live in our world, they are believable and now need an escape even if it is just for a single day. This movie focuses on just them, these two people for the entire film and I cannot thank Mark Duplass for this (he is the screenwriter) because I have not seen a film where the two main characters are the only characters, I didn't get sick of them, I did not find them boring, ever, they were very fleshed out and they felt like genuine, real people who were put in this situation and n

and I don't want to stay

there anymore

but I don't really

know where else to go.

And it's...

I'm having a...

just having a hard time, so.

I'm sorry, yeah.

I'm not...

[laughs embarrassingly]

I'm gonna start

crying again.

-Yeah.

-This is a thing with me,

all right?

I really think

it's your fault, honestly.

Why is it my fault?

You use to give me

the best head rubs.

And they use to really

take the edge off.

Quit hiding the jelly beans

Hand 'em up.

Come on.

Give me some

jelly beans, okay?

That's why I'm so sad

'cause you won't [chuckles]

give me any jelly beans.

[Jim sighs deeply]

It's also little hard 'cause

you're really impressive.

Your life is really impressive.

-Yeah...

-So there's a part

of me that's...

just saying.

I was getting on the plane

and there was this family

and this little boy,

he was so mad

and just irate

and of course he has no way

of expressing any of that

except sort of just like...

scream and stomp

his feet and...

I mean, he was screaming

so loud that tongue

was curing to the back

of his mouth and tears

were just like...

you know, springing out

of his face he was...

leaking you know.

And I just remember

looking at him and being

very jealous.

You know,

that's my soul-mate.

[laughing]

Me and that four year old.

That's my soul-mate.

I don't know some point

we just learn it's better

not to do that and...

I don't know

at what point...

Here.

You ate a lot of them.

I did eat a lot.

You left me all the pink

and purple ones

[chuckles]

Yeah, they are

your favorites.

[phone buzzing]

What's up?

Miss Elissa wants to know

where's her ice-cream is at?

Of course.

Oh God!

Does she like

ice-cream soup.

[chuckles]

I'm just telling her

I ran into some one.

Don't take it person... sorry

yes. Okay fine I'll tell her

it's you just...

-She'll ask me who.

-She's gonna ask...

-there is is.

-Jim.

Lisa, Lisa the interrogator.

Holy fuckity f***!

Jim, Jim?

She's Lisa Lising you.

[laughs]

Yeah Jim Jim,

Yes.

She wants to know

how you look.

[phone buzzes]

She wants to know, when I'm

coming back.

I kinda want

to see your house.

You want

to see the house?

[Jim sighs deeply]

It's been really great

catching up with you.

But if the reason you spending

time with me is because...

you feel sorry for me.

You don't have to do it,

it's okay. Okay?

[mellow music playing]

[lock clicking]

Sorry, just the boxes.

Sorry.

[Amanda] It's okay.

Here we go.

Yeah, still got

a lot of...

her stuff to pack up.

Yeah

That's a good one

in particular.

Yeah, I'll say.

Yeah, pretty much

how she left it so...

I've been thinking about...

dry walling where
