Synopsis: Cloverfield follows five New Yorkers from the perspective of a hand-held video camera. The movie is exactly the length of a DV Tape and a sub-plot is established by showing bits and pieces of video previously recorded on the tape that is being recorded over. The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character.

a going-away present, you know?

Yeah. Wait, were we supposed

to get presents?

-They did. They had sexual intercourse.

-What?

-Lily told me.

-No way.

-No, you are so...

-No, I promise.

Why do you make up stuff like that?

-No, I do not. I have a nice car.

-You make sh*t up.

I didn't say what kind...

Hey.

-Good luck in Japan, Rob.

-Good luck tonight, Travis.

Hey, dude. Dude, dude, dude.

Are you all right, man?

-Hey. Come on.

-This is not the time, Hud.

-What is it, man?

-Let him go.

-We should talk to him.

-We're not talking to him.

I could talk to him now.

Dude, you already talked

to the whole party!

-...have to do something.

-No. Everyone needs to just calm down

-and give him space.

-He's just gonna stay

-locked in his room all night?

-Lily, look at you.

-It's fine, trust me.

-It is not fine.

-It is fine.

-You are his brother.

You are his best friend.

Go and make him happy.

So, how do you wanna do this?

Do you wanna do most of the talking,

or do you want me

to do most of the talking?

-You're not doing any talking.

-Okay, cool.

We got to talk.

You don't know

what you're talking about,

-all right?

-Okay, well, then tell me.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Yeah, well, Beth told Lori

that after you guys got together,

-you totally blew her off.

-I didn't blow her off!

She said you never called her.

Look, I'm leaving, all right?

So what am I supposed to do?

I don't know, man.

She was heartbroken.

Look, there's no "together." It's just

her and me, two separate things.

It's better if we just stay friends.

...not that I feel like I'm not

good enough for her!

No, stop, stop!

I didn't say "feel," Rob.

You're not good enough for her.

That's it. That's fact. That's science.

Beth Mclntyre is, like,

from a whole 'nother planet, man.

She's beautiful. She's charming.

And you... I love you,

but let's face it,

you're kind of a douchebag.

And going to Japan is not gonna fix that.

She's crazy about you, bro.

-Like, right now, as you are.

-And you're in love with her.

-But you got to go after her.

-It's not that simple.

-No, it is that simple, Rob.

-Come on, man. Don't be scared.

It's about moments, man.

That's all that...

You got to learn to say,

"Forget the world,"

and hang on to the people

that you care about the most.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, my God. What the hell was that?

That scared the sh*t out of me.

Lil! Lil!

Did you feel that?

It was like an earthquake.

-You guys...

-Lil, where are you?

-What was that?

-What was that?

-Hey. Are you all right?

-Oh, my God.

-Yeah, that was really scary.

-Did you see anything?

Hey, Marlena! Marlena, are you okay?

Guys, look out!
