JAMES TRYING TO ENJOY BEING ALONE. Last edited by ifhollywood, 8 months ago. 0 comments. More scene info.

JAMES TRYING TO ENJOY BEING ALONE.

He texts every male name in his phone if they want to hang out. He tries to play Atari games on the internet. TV. Practices catching stuff in his mouth. He uses stuff on his desk and plays with them like action figures. He thinks about masturbating but is to lazy. He reads the newspaper on the toilet. He looks at the dishes and they "stare" back at him. He goes back to other stuff. He decides that it's stupid he can't hang with the ladies and heads over to them.

JAMES SEEING "ADULTERY" Last edited by ifhollywood, 8 months ago. 0 comments. More scene info.

JAMES SEEING "ADULTERY"

He drives around trying to find the place where his wife and her friends are. He sees the place and parks before he gets there. He is walking to the restaurant and sees his wife with a man. The man is whispering in her ear. Her skirt is unkempt and she fixes it and they both laugh. She grabs his arm lovingly and they part ways. Her friends are no where to be seen and it looks very suspicious. He is shocked and hides as she walks by him to her car. He pauses and then runs after the man. He sees him getting in a nice car and he texts the license plate number to himself. Again, he pauses. He pulls out a fifty dollar bill from his wallet and crumples it up. He takes the fifty in his hand and walks in the restaurant. He tells the waitress that the guy dropped a fifty dollar bill but drove off before he could give it to him. Does he eat there a lot? What is his name? That kind of stuff. He gets a name and leaves the fifty dollars just in case the guy comes back. He got a name!

SETTING UP THAT HE WAS HOME

As soon as he leaves the restaurant he runs full speed towards his car. He speeds home taking odd side roads and alleys. He gets home before his wife. He runs inside and puts in a DVD and puts it to a chapter near the end of the movie. He goes on the internet on the "family" computer and goes to four porn sites and x's out of the browser. He runs to the dishes and starts working on them. When she comes inside he tells her that he was watching a movie and just remembered about the dishes. He acts like nothing is wrong. She goes to bed and he says he is going to stay up to watch some over-the-top TV sitcom he likes.

ANGER TO FACEBOOK Last edited by ifhollywood, a year ago. 0 comments. More scene info.

ANGER TO FACEBOOK

He watches the show for a while just to play the charade. He is sitting directly in front of the TV brooding with anger and it cuts back to the TV show. The show is juxtaposing his attitude which makes the scene humorous. After we cut back and forth a few times he actually starts laughing at the TV show and enjoying it. Then something will happen in the show that reminds him of what his wife has done. The music crashes and he is fumed with anger. He thinks about what to do and a light bulb goes off in his head. He turns the show down a bit and grabs his laptop. He searches for Samuel in Facebook. Finds him and requests him as a friend. He clicks in the area where you can send a message with the request.

SAMUEL/ROOMMATE AND FACEBOOK JOKES Last edited by ifhollywood, 8 months ago. 0 comments. More scene info.

SAMUEL/ROOMMATE AND FACEBOOK JOKES

Day time. We cut to Samuel excited and confused about what he received from James. He communicates the contents of the message to his roommate. The contents basically say that he needs help with a Private Investigation and to give him a call at his office and gives the days/hours to call. James knew Samuel from 6 years ago when Samuel was level-headed and wanted to go into law enforcement or private investigating. They want to check out what James has been up to for the past six years and check out his pictures on Facebook. They joke about how stupid he looks as a husband. He is the antithesis of their life and goals. They imitate what they think he would act like with his family and laugh at themselves. Samuel decides he will call him later in the day.

Funny working out. Mousercize possibly. Odd daily routines set to music. These guys are losers, but they have a formula for happiness. Word of the day card in the bathroom. They keep using the word of the day throughout the film. Changed from day to day.

CALLING HUSBAND Last edited by ifhollywood, a year ago. 0 comments. More scene info.

CALLING HUSBAND

Samuel calls the husband about the job. The husband wants Samuel to follow the dude who he thinks is cheating with his wife and figure out who he is and report back at a certain time or whatever. Samuel's roommate is mocking the situation in front of Samuel the whole time to try and make him laugh. Samuel makes up this whole thing about how he has started a PI business and that he might have to wait a couple days to start on the project. Samuel's roommate is being silly, but right before the call is forcefully encouraging. After being silly and after realizing that Samuel is going to get the job we keep cutting to him cheering and fake having sex with items around the house.
