The decisions in this movie in macro and micro are an endless source of discussion. From the books she reads to her nickname. This is what I try to get my authors to do all the time. Every decision, every sentence advances the piece. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Love this scene!

Thank you so much!! I think about this scene all the time - it never strays far from my mind when I think about monologues I love.
I’m sorry, did you just write the perfect early summer post??
Aw, shucks folks. ❤️💙
One of my favorite movies

Thank you!! More in a few weeks on (strangely) another 1987 film.
Such a classic. I hope Hollywood never attempts a remake...
They did! A TV version starring Abigail Breslin that mercifully died a quiet death.
One of my favorite movies!
I dare anyone to name 10 movies from the 80s that are better! And thanks!
This was such a great review and unpacking of that scene. 🥰
Oh thank you. I really appreciate it. Now that I’ve committed to this feature the ideas are pouring out faster than I can keep up with them.
Look forward to reading more like it!
