Blue Jay Page #5

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

[water splashing]

[Amanda] I know, I'm sorry.

I meant to call you, yeah.

The minute I got there she sent

me right out to get some food.

Oh, yeah she

seems really...

she seems really good.

Yeah, she's just hungry.

[laughing]

I think we're just

gonna stay in.

Just you know...

watch a movie or...

you know and eat.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

Wait, can you just say

that again I didn't hear you.

Yeah.

This is amazing.

This is amazing,

it's like a time capsule.

It's all here.

You needed

the black light...

Hey it was 1993 you

needed a black light.

Yeah I adore

the black light.

You want to watch

some, Friends?

-Try outs?

-Try outs.

The other option is I could

draw a little Gin Blossoms.

Yes would you?

Or...

Maybe Tilda weds Brocket?

I hate the sound

of Tilda weds...

Fine, Blues Traveler.

I like Blues Traveler.

Oh, Well, well...

[chuckles]

You literally have every shirt

you wore in high school still.

My mom kept stuff,

that's just...

God, yeah.

I remember

wearing this one.

This one.

I think this one is mine.

[laughing]

Oh, I always

hated this one.

[Jim] I looked

good in that.

You did not look good in it,

like a weird lumber jack.

You say that,

like it's a bad thing.

It is a very

bad thing.

Well, you know I'm sorry.

[gasps in surprise]

[vocalizing]

-That's private property.

-Oh really?

Have some respect, okay?

For what? For your privacy?

Yes, exactly.

You probably read

these to me out loud.

It's called privacy.

No, no, that's private.

Oh, my...

"The winds of change

are f***ing blowing tonight."

-No. Don't read.

-No.

-Don't read, no.

-"Amanda...

Amanda.

Who knew her name

was going to be Amanda.

-What a face."

-Hey!

"What a spirit.

My lips said hello

my friend

but my heart said

hello my future.

I don't even know

myself anymore.

Jim has been

ripped in half

but I'm so happy

to bleed,

for there is Amanda."

Oh, my God!

You want Japan

or New York?

New York

Oh, my God!

[laughing]

I found a picture of you

that is outrageous.

You don't deserve

this by the way.

Digging through my stuff.

Listen man, you don't have

lock on your sh*t

it's bound to get

broken into.

Man, I can't believe

you still have all this stuff.

Little crazy.

[Jim] Mom was a bit

of a hoarder.

Yeah.

Do you dare?

Are you brave enough?

"The winds of f***ing change

are blowing tonight."

F*** you.

"This first classic

performance is entitled

hanging out, May 1994."

Oh my God!

I don't know whats

happening. Good luck.

[Amanda]

What's it gonna be?

Oh boy!

[rap dual playing]

[Amanda]

Oh, she jealous, she jealous

[Jim]

That's right folks

and mamma her mamma
