Every fucking day,
somewhere in the world...
1:06:04
...somebody sacrifices his life
to save somebody else.
1:06:06
Every fucking day, someone somewhere
takes a conscious decision...
1:06:10
...to destroy someone else.
1:06:12
People find love. People lose it.
1:06:14
Christ, a child watches a mother
beaten to death on the steps of a church.
1:06:19
Someone goes hungry.
1:06:21
Somebody else betrays
his best friend for a woman.
1:06:24
If you can't find that stuff in life...
1:06:27
...then you, my friend,
don't know crap about life!
1:06:30
And why the fuck are you wasting
my two precious hours with your movie?
1:06:36
I don't have any use for it!
1:06:39
I don't have any bloody use for it!
1:06:44
Okay, thanks.
1:06:49
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1:06:50
No. Thank you.
1:06:52
Thank you so much, Mr. McKee.
1:06:55
This course makes you look at writing
in a whole different way.
1:07:00
- Mr. McKee.
- Yes?
1:07:02
I'm the guy you yelled at this morning.
1:07:07
I need more.
1:07:08
I'm the one who thought
things didn't happen in life.
1:07:13
Right. Okay.
1:07:14
- Nice to see you.
- I need to talk.
1:07:18
Mr. McKee, my even
standing here is very scary.
1:07:21
I don't meet people well.
1:07:22
But what you said this morning
shook me to the bone.
1:07:25
What you said was bigger than
my screenwriting choices.
1:07:27
It was about my choices
as a human being. Please.
1:07:33
Yeah.
1:07:35
Well, you know...
1:07:37
...I could sure use a drink, my friend.
1:07:42
"...but a little fantastic
and fleeting and out of reach."
1:07:46
Then what happens?
1:07:49
Well, that's the end of the book.
1:07:51
I wanted to present it simply...
1:07:53
...without big character arcs
or sensationalizing the story.
1:07:56
I wanted to show flowers
as God's miracles.
1:07:58
I wanted to show that Orlean
never saw the blooming ghost orchid.
