Hello?? why are you fading out??
Ethan snaps out of his flashback
Flashback...
Okay..
Chloe walks closer to Ethan
You cannot leave until I leave..
(scoffs)
Really??
No...but it would be nice if you
stayed on..
To accompany you?? Or so that you
don’t need to go to the Everglades
to catch a crocodile with them??
(blush)
A little of both..
Ethan smiles and looks towards the sea
(long pause)
I guess you want your own space now
....I will see you tomorrow??
(smiles)
We will see..
(smiles)
Okay..
Chloe walks away from the beach and into the hotel
Ethan walks to an empty lazy chair and sits while he stares blankly to the sea
FADE TO BLACK.
FADE IN:
1 1/2 years after Miami
INT. LECTURE HALL - MORNING
The SCENE opens in a lecture theater. Ethan in formal dressing is standing on the stage presenting in front of a lecture hall full of student in casual wear
To me..a story is all about how
you tell it..never mind if your
writing is good or not..its HOW
you relay it..
A Malay female student raises her hand
Yes??
So Mr. Haan why did you decide to
write Meeting Point out of sequence??
Well I just thought that if I wrote
it in normal order, the story would
be very plain..
A male Indian raises his hand
Did YOU get confused when you wrote
it??
Oh yes..I lost track so many times..
anyway..some stories just have to be
told out of sequence..you all
remembered Pulp Fiction by Quentin
Tarantino?? it was a superb movie..but
if it was told like any other movie..
it would have been just an average movie..
don’t you think so???
So your work for Meeting Point was
inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s work??
Yes..and also the song Lips of an
Angel by Hinder..both this factor
inspired me to write Meeting Point..
A female Indian student inquires
Sir..the character Steve..is he....
you??
(laughs)
No..I just named him after Steve
Tyler..I am an Aerosmith fan..
You like Quentin Tarantino also..why
didn't you name a character after him??
(scoffs)
Do you all have any question that is
regarding why you all are paying me so
much to learn about writing??
The lecture halls laughs
Well..today’s homework is to write
15 pages of an half hour comedy..
remember on the scene heading there
is a line and below the line is the
names of the character in the scene..
make sure it makes me laugh..else..
you are gonna rewrite it until it
does..okay NOW you can ask me things
about Meeting Point
I wanna know...what was it that Steve
wanted to tell Lina in Coffee Bean..
before she died...
I am leaving that part for you all
to decide..
We are asking cause the movie AND the
screenplay did not say anything
That’s why I said..YOU all decide..
Steve told Jimmy he wanted to break
up with her..and told the two best
friends that he wanted to tell her
‘I love you’ and it was ended so
abruptly
(laughs)
Its just a screenplay..next time when
you all write your own screenplay..you
all can pull this thing I did to everybody..
But don't you think you just complicate
things when you added Cerie and Michelle
into the picture???
Both of them are very important
character in the screenplay, because
of Cerie the other half of Meeting
Point was told in present time..because
I didn’t wanted to introduce her until
the end, Michelle was added to add depth
into what happened between the Steve and
Cerie
You portrayed both of them as plagues in
Steve’s life..
That is YOUR imagination..I never portrayed
any of them as you described it..
The voice over scenes..Cerie is quite
quite a bitch..
She IS a girl..
All the girls in the lecture hall jeer off Ethan’s comments
All the guys and Ethan laughs
Anyway..class dismiss..I wanna see
your homework tomorrow..I am serious..
The students in the lecture halls disappears into the exit one after another
Ethan takes out his Sony Ericsson Z610i and there was a text message from Sophia Ethan smiles and read the text message ‘Dinner later??’
FADE TO BLACK.
