Blue Jay Page #6

Synopsis: The two main characters, Jim and Amanda (Mark and Sarah) were high school sweethearts, but as time has passed they moved on with their lives and they have now become adults who have had their own different experiences along the way and now that they have reunited, we find they still have that chemistry between them. This was great casting, these two actors work really well together, normally I throw 9's and 10's all over the place These characters are so natural, so done with this earth in the sense that they live in our world, they are believable and now need an escape even if it is just for a single day. This movie focuses on just them, these two people for the entire film and I cannot thank Mark Duplass for this (he is the screenwriter) because I have not seen a film where the two main characters are the only characters, I didn't get sick of them, I did not find them boring, ever, they were very fleshed out and they felt like genuine, real people who were put in this situation and n

I didn't just irrationally make

the decision to do what I did.

And I know...

I see now that it was

incredibly hard on you.

But I was the one who had to go

in there and actually do it.

Actually go through with it.

You know?

And I do get that I didn't

handle it well, I didn't...

I just... I tortured myself.

Going over the options,

alone in my bedroom.

Going over and over,

what I should do.

And then you sent me

that stupid note.

Making all those weird,

sarcastic jokes and...

And then you sent me

that stupid get well soon

balloon, a balloon, Jim.

I don't know there

was something about it where

it became so clear to me

that you were too young...

to handle it.

We were too

young to handle it.

And I knew that I was gonna

have to go through it alone

and I knew I couldn't,

do it alone.

And you know...

Do I have regrets? Yes.

Yes.

But...

What can we do?

Here.

Please. You just read it now.

"Amanda, I know we can

get through this together.

You are my world.

I will never

stop loving you."

It was the first version

that I wrote to you.

Why didn't you

send this to me?

I was scared.

It was just stupid.

I'm sorry.

[laughing]

I'm contagious.

Apparently.

Now it's just

never gonna stop.

[sighing]
