INT. NORTHWOODS BAIT SHOP - DAY
A two-room institution, built from odds and ends. The outer room sells t-shirts and coffee mugs. The back room — much older — is cramped and visibly stinky from live minnows and nightcrawlers.
A guy emerges from the back, 110% local. Start at CREAKY LEATHER BOOTS and rise past worn jeans to a black t-shirt that reads:
BAIT WHISPERER
Comments
awesome.
Thanks. It was totally inappropriate tonally for the script it was written in originally (Whisper Lake), but it obviously had to go somewhere.
I knew immediately that that was from WHISPER LAKE.
Oh, totally, but by the end, it was quite clear why it wasn't in there anymore, right?
Strangely, that seems like the sort of thing that holds a script up with managers and readers, but makes a movie distinctive and a potential cult favorite when it happens on screen.
Really?
::thinking::
Yeah, I guess maybe.
It seemed too wacky, and too tonally out of place because of it. But on the other hand, I probably have a unique ability to meld wackiness onto anything. And by "meld onto," I think I mean "stick onto," much as flung poo might stick to something.
Jeff? Do you... shit wackiness?
If you're asking whether a given bit of wackiness was excreted by me, my only response can be, "No comment."
