Titanic

Quote from "Stop not possible" (c) Jeroen Hofman screenplay:

Hotel lobby. We're listen in on a phone conversation. Two people are seriously talking to each other, over the phone, in the same lobby. Girl sits, seems relaxed and is on her cell phone and stares at her nails. Guy is frantically pacing back and forth, using his free hand to rub his face and through his hair.


Girl: "I want to talk to you."
Guy: "But I don't want to. And let me tell you why (short pauze) you've been rude, insincere and selfish"
Girl: "I have not"
Guy: "No? How come all of your lines always start with "I"?"
Girl: "I don't know"
Guy: "And it's always one way traffic."
Girl: "I've been busy"
Guy: "Ouch, a second knife in the back. Girl, you can never be TOO busy for a friend."
Girl: "I have a lot of friends, it's just hard to maintain all these friendships"
Guy: "Wow, keep on stabbing. It's not that I am human, you know."
(short pauze)
Guy: " But do you even realize that you seduced me, took my heart and then left me to drown with the Titanic?"
Girl: "I did? I guess I was trying to be sensible"
Guy: "Sure... and six months later you sent me a text that says "Friends Yes."

Scar

Quote from "Stop not possible" (c) Jeroen Hofman screenplay:

Southwest Terminal, SFO, GATE 23. Nighttime.
(a voice over announces boarding for flight 899 to San Diego)
Woman: "Oh my, what happened to your eye?"
Jeroen: "Nothing serious, just a brawl"
(short pauze)
Woman: "Were you drunk?" (short pauze, Jeroen studies the woman, woman turns red)
Jeroen: "No ma'm I was merely trying to protect my girl"
(woman leans forward and studies the scar. did she just seriously touch it???)
Woman: "But... That's a mean scar."
Jeroen: "It's just a scratch. You should have seen the other guy, when I was finally done with him."
(woman takes one step back and looks puzzled)
Woman: "Like... seriously?"
Jeroen: "Yes, and I gave him the girl too."
Woman (walks away): "Weirdo"
(Jeroen, smiles and shakes his head)
