Good Night Good Morning Page #2

Synopsis: Good Night Good Morning is a black and white, split-screen, conversation film about two strangers sharing an all-night phone call on New Year's night in New York City. Writer-Director Sudhish Kamath tries to discover good old fashioned love and romance in a technology-driven mobile world as the boy driving from New York to Philadelphia with buddies after a wild night out of drinking, calls the enigmatic girl alone in her hotel after a brief encounter at the bar. An all-night phone call becomes a surreal, dream-like experience especially when the limited validity of the adventure gives you the freedom to be who you want to be. Anonymity could be comforting and such a situation could lead to an unlikely romance. Or something like it.

experience for the both of us.

Yeah, I don't really

want to have an orgy,

a threesome... I mean phone sex

What? I can't hear you.

You want to have sex with all

three of us now, you sick b!

Dude, I got a dead body

back here. My hands are full.

I wasn't implying phone

sex Mr. Virgin drunk dialer

or is it Mr.

"L-have-never-done-this-before".

Aah yeah, well! Boy!

Looks like it is going to snow.

Oh my God! You are a...

Virgins do exist?

You know if you worked

for my escort company

I would've had your a

fired a long time ago.

I have a bad feeling

about the weather you know...

I bet you do virgin boy.

How old are you?

Tell me your name.

Don't change the subject.

Ok. I'm gay. I'm gay. I'm gay!

So gay.

Alright. Too much

information for a one-night stand.

You got to pull over. I

got the munchies real bad.

I could eat a horse. An ostrich.

A piece of A.

We're hungry. We

should've eaten at the bar.

All of us. Are you hungry too?

Yeah. Me too.

Let me see what's in the fridge.

Get something for me too please.

Slim pickings.

Oh, there is a long banana here.

I bet you would like that!

No, I am more of a

melons guy. I like melons.

Ouch!! That's below the belt.

What are you talking about?

Wait a second.

No, I wasn't trying to say...

We know what you really meant!

It's ok. I don't have melons.

No, I wouldn't know anything that.

About what?

- About you know...

you know...

- B*obs?

Well... I wouldn't know... No.

I don't know they...

Oh you poor boy.

Would you like a preview?

Look, that's not what I meant.

I wasn't talking about...

Right! You said I was hot.

You said I should wear a corset.

What does that mean?

That means you checked me out.

No, no... I was just saying it

just like that. You know, just words.

So, then I am not hot?

No...

So then, tell me.

Tell you what?

Do you think I am hot?

Yeah.

So, what did you

mean you prefer Melons?

I just was saying it

because I liked...

You could've said

mangoes or apples or oranges

I mean why did you say Melons.

Who thinks of Melons?

I do. I like Melons.

I have always liked Melons

since the time I was a kid.

I liked watermelon,

winter melon, muskmelon.

I like jackfruit. I like honeydew,

cantaloupe. I like them all.

I mean... It was nothing to do

with you or your physicality.

I wasn't even talking

about your physicality.

So my physicality has

nothing to do with Melons?

What is the right answer

to this? I don't even know.

How do I answer this?

The truth. The absolute truth.

I like Melons and I

think I need another look.

So you admit there was a first look?

Oh boy you should have been a lawyer.

You would have been a great lawyer.

Thank you. But answer me.

You admit you looked.

Yeah, I looked.

And...

And they are nice.

They are perfect.

They are beautifully

round and gorgeous globes.

On a scale of 1 to 10?

Eight.

Eight. Why eight?

Well because I like the number eight.

There is two round

things that is together...

I like that.

Ok rapid-fire question time.

What's on your mind?

Actually you first.

What is on your mind?

I'm thinking they are fine too.

And I'm thinking I would love

to have some Waffles

with White chocolate and

maple syrup fresh from the oven.

Or mint and chocolate huh?

I love that. Do you?

Mint and Chocolate. I

love that. After eight.

No anytime of the day.

My friends got me for my birthday.

Bailey's Mint & Chocolate.

Sex in a glass.

Sex in a glass.

And how would you know?

Oh! Who is hitting

below the belt now?

No but seriously, I love liqueur.

I'm not saying that just in a

please be my friend kind of way.

But I can just picture myself sinking

into a tub full of Creme De Menth.

Now I can picture you

doing that too. Remember?

So how old are you?

You didn't tell me.

You didn't tell me your name.

Do you remember that

movie where two strangers

spend the entire night in the

streets of Vienna and just talk?

Before Sunrise! It's my

favourite movie. I love that movie.

Hey maybe we're doing this

coz we saw them do that right?

Okay, that's lame.

No wait. Just hear me out.

Everything we see in the movies,

read in books, things established

as facts by society and the news,

all become a part of our existence

so that somewhere down the line

we forget where we

even heard it or saw it.

So the entire length of

the movie Before Sunrise,

I have been in Ethan Hawke's shoes.

I have lived his life.

I have become that.

Oh God! Somebody

thinks he's Ethan Hawke.

No, no. Wait, wait... You

have seen When Harry Met Sally.

You must have

thought you were Meg Ryan

when you watched the movie.

I got it the first time.

You are not Billy

Crystal short either are you?

Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe.

It's like he knows me.

Oh is he on the other line?

Is that him on call waiting?

No Cameron Crowe is

the director who made...

Yeah, I know I know. Jerry Maguire.

It's a cute rom com (romantic comedy).

Aargh! Jerry MaFing

Guire is not a rom com.

It is the celebration of

being the man who you want to be.

Which happens to be being

the man we want him to be.

Hence, it's a rom com.

Oh God! So wait,

according to you, The

Godfather is some family

soap drama and the

Matrix is what some fashion

show of black trench coat with

technology thrown in

or something like that.

Just when I thought we were

starting to have something in common.

Anyone who likes the

Matrix is suffering from

a serious case of the

Emperor's New Clothes.

Oh, Anyone who doesn't like

the Matrix is suffering from Oh,

Poor Me, I got left out of the cult,

so let me b*tch about it.

I dare you. Explain The Matrix to

me in four lines. No more. No less.

Explain the Matrix in four lines.

It's not that simple.

Trinity, we need to find a hard line.

Look in your pants Mr. Anderson

Thanks Morpheus and Agent

Smith or JC and Hussain.

See Matrix has that

effect on us. Think about it,

we grew up in the nineties name a film

that went to be the Star Wars or The

Godfather of the nineties.

You can't name one.

The Matrix is the single most

definitive film of our time.

Amore. I think Friends is the most

single most

definitive show of our times.

Well Friends... That

whole sitcom, it was on TV.

I am talking about film.

The Matrix is deep and

loaded like Star Wars.

Stories are meant to be simple.

No matter what kind of bells

and whistles they come with.

Harry and Sally. They meet.

They become friends.

Over time, they fall in love.

Now explain The Matrix to me.

The Matrix is not just

a sci-fi action film.

It's about how everyone has a

chance to search and find the truth

and that's what Neo does. He

has a chance to find the truth,

he takes the pill and

finds out that's the truth

is a dream fabricated by

someone else... Hello...

Blah Blah Blah... I

said simplify in English.

Oracle. Clones. Conflict. Bullshit.

Lets just agree to disagree.

You know even love

stories are about conflict.

The conflict being?
