For Your Consideration Page #7

...and I wanna go see that.

Oh, okay. This was also trying to be...

...a kind of family kind of presentation,

kind of a comedy thing, but--

What's creepy about this one is how

y'all made it where they eyes follow you.

That's scary.

Everywhere you go, they follow you.

You actually do want that in a poster...

...because when you set the posters

in the theater...

...as people walk by, you want that,

you actually do want that.

I'm really glad that you picked that up.

That's what we're trying to do

with both the visual...

...and maybe even something

with the eyes.

And, of course, this is just a gay romp.

- It's a party. It's fun.

- You also see the wistfulness here.

What's good about this is it's real.

It's very real.

I've been to a party before...

...where people's heads

were actually on the balloons.

I wanna go to this party.

This is a party I would go to...

- Okay, great.

- ...because it's got balloons with colors.

This is so stupid and I'm sorry

to bother you, but I just wondered...

There's something on the Internet.

Somebody had been on the set,

here, at Home for Purim...

...and brought up the idea

of there being...

...a possibility of a nomination

for an Oscar.

It's nothing, no big--

It's a big deal. Who cares?

I mean, it's no big deal.

It's nothing. Forget it.

- Forget I said it.

- Okay.

- I just thought, because...

- All right.

...if you Googled Simon Whitset,

apparently, you could--

Okay, this is a rumor that's out there

on the Internet and you think it's nothing.

Tell you what. I'm gonna look into it.

This could be very interesting indeed.

Okay, quick question. The Internet.

That's the one with e-mail, right?

- Yes.

- Got it. I'm on it.

- Why, did I get--? I had some salad.

- You're good.

Philip. Lane, Lane,

Philip, Philip, Philip.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Tell me. Purim. Writers.

- Purim.

- You're writers.

- Yes.

Home for Purim.

This is probably the most personal play

that we've written.

There are elements of my family life.

Purim is strictly your territory.

I didn't know what it was.

I thought Purim meant "a face."

Cute little Purim.

- That's a punim.

- You straightened me out.

It's the one in the shack,

where the shrubs--?

No, no, no, that's Sukkot, Sukkot.

No, Purim, a lot of people

don't really know.

I mean, I didn't know that much

about Purim, but I like Purim a lot.

And it's got a tremendous amount

of symbolic...

...and metaphorical resonance

wrapped up in there.

- You like writing?

- We love to write.

- That's great.

- We would write if they didn't pay us.

And guess what, they usually don't.

- Some--

- That's why we're still teaching.

We write just enough
