DAYS I HAVEN’T MET CHARLIE BROOKER
Rejection, Guidance…Brainstorming again.
Inner Dialogues
- Us are not schizo -
Day 60
9. INT. DAY. MY HEAD
ME 2
You alright?
ME 1
Yeah, I’m cool. It’s just…well, guess I’m used to it. Maybe I’m overreacting.
ME 2
Maybe. But it’s alright, we all do it every now and then. You don’t have to beat yourself because of it.
ME 1
I just feel like I’m repeating myself, that’s all. Like I might bother people complaining over and over and over…
ME 2
You’re high-maintenance, I’ll give you that. But at least you keep it between us most of the times…well, and to this “Days” thing now…
ME 1
Think I’ve always been a crier.
ME 2
Yep. Anyway, you should be thinking about your next spec. What do you have so far.
ME 1
Not much. I know it’s going to be a drama, but I can’t decide in what way. I’m still having some issues concentrating because of…well, you know…
ME 2
It’s not like you have much of a choice, is it? You haven’t written a new spec in a long time, they just rejected one. You kind of have to pick up your shit and start creating.
ME 1
I love how sometimes you talk like you weren’t part of me.
ME 2
I became your motivational coach over the past few weeks, that’s what’s going on. If it was up to me, Charlie would be buying us a beer right now!
ME 1
Now it just sounds like I have schizophrenia. Ok, you got to understand, it was the same script I sent to S, you know?
ME 2
Dude, you want me to go hop on my DeLorean and replace it with another one a few days ago, before she reads it? Move the fuck on!
ME 1
That was harsh…
ME 2
She’s a different person than those over-bloated contests. She might actually enjoy it. And if she doesn’t, which is a very real possibility, you need to improve yourself and keep writing. And how the fuck do we do that?
ME 1
Yeah, you’re right. Thought you said it was alright for me to complain between us.
ME 2
It is. Then it’s time to do what you have to do. Otherwise, you are just schizophrenic…
…Day 60, Charlie, Us is going to work now!
