No scene is ever about the words being spoken.
The absolute worst thing you can do in a scene is be apathetic.
Where do the really best laughs come from? Terrific connections made intellectually, or terrific revelations made emotionally.
The only real mistake here is ignoring the inner voice.
If the whole is to be Art, the parts must not try to be.
It's not about the journey. It's about the people you meet.
