Good Night Good Morning Page #3

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.

Well some loves flourish because

of the conflict not in spite of it.

Through all the disagreement and

going through all the hardships

together some loves

become great love stories.

Love stories also end

because of conflict.

Hmm... That's true but it might not

have happened if not for the conflict.

Are you in the mood for a story?

Considering I am talking to a stranger

about absolutely nothing sure,

why not? Just throw in

some sex and I'm good.

Ok, here we go... There was a boy...

Why is the geek always a guy?

Ok. You're interrupting.

Come on, that's a silly stereotype

Ok, fine...

See, it's not working.

Yeah, ok

So what kind of music do you like?

Techno

- That is so nineties

I used to like techno but

now I like the other stuff.

Like pop?

Yeah, yeah like pop

That is so gay.

I know.

I'm sorry but what

kind of music do you like?

Rock... the new rock.

Like Coldplay?

Yeah, like that.

I love them. Hey do

you listen to Floyd?

You know I was going to

ask you the same question.

I do actually.

Ah, so you are into

boy bands too then.

Pink Floyd is not a boy band.

But it is "PINK" isn't it...

Not funny. So what's

your favourite number?

It's like you know

me so well. Really.

Yeah well I know. So when do

we take it to the next level?

You can come over tomorrow if you

want, Mom's not going to be home.

Yeah, I would love to come home

tomorrow. That would be great.

But what time

because I am free all day.

It's not like I don't have

a job or anything coz I do.

I am very employable but I

am free tomorrow all day.

Ok

For now.

Guys often pretend to be who they

are not and girls always want to

be wicked and crazy because

that's their idea of romance.

We just like to challenge

the natural order of things.

You know gives us a

sense of accomplishment.

Plus everybody wants a

taste of the forbidden fruit.

Apples.

Or in your case Melons.

Hey, do you believe in God,

faith, destiny.

Do you think God

knows why things happen.

I don't think God knows.

I mean what if God is

reinventing as he goes on?

I think God has a plan for us.

He probably doesn't want us to know

but he wants to roll it

out to us in good time.

I roll it out in good time.

I mean think about it religion

was invented what about 2000

years ago but the full

truth is about 13.7 billion...

There is no full truth.

Everything would disappear if

an asteroid hit us tomorrow.

Exactly, Dinosaurs... Gone.

You know when I was a little

girl I thought asteroid was a gland.

Because it rhymes with Thyroid?

I was so confused

Back to religion. Actually

have you studied accounting?

No.

Okay, in accounting, there's

something known as Suspense Account.

When you can't

explain where the money's

gone and you are

unable to balance the sheet,

you create a suspense account

temporarily and put all your money

into that... so that once you

investigate and find where the money

is gone you can transfer the money

from the suspense account to the

actual account.

Now as science starts

explaining various phenomenon

you immediatelytransfer credit from

the God account to the Science account.

So Let there be light

becomes the Big Bang Theory...

I love that TV show. Oh my

god it's about these geeks

who live next door to

a blonde waitress

who works in a cheesecake factory.

Yeah. You know men are

the smart ones.

Well yes, of course. You know we women

we prefer to stay home and watch

life happen in a little pictures

while you big boys you are

concerned about the

big picture out there.

Exactly. Us big boys.

Kidding, you jerk.

Ever heard of radium?

Madame Curie. Helen Keller.

Mother Teresa.

Ever heard of Britney Spears.

Paris Hilton. Sex tapes

Justin Timberlake.

George Bush. Bill Clinton.

No why are you talking

about our differences.

We are all the same race.

We are all born with

the same raw materials...

a little sperm, eggs a

little sex and weeks later,

there's this seven pound form of

life that is ejected from a vagina.

Vagina

How different are we really?

I object. We could

want different things.

We could want different

things from the same relationship

Like for example what if

your geek boy wasn't geeky and

what if the girl really liked him

and what if they had a great honeymoon

period getting to know each other

but then things don't turn out so rosy

Do you want to hear a story?

Straight from Bollywood.

Bollywood!

I love you.

I love you.

Sh*t. I never thought I

would say this to someone.

But I... I really love you.

Sh*t... I hope I get

myself to say this to her.

I wanted to say this to her

so often but couldn't get the

courage and whenever I meet her

I decide to, but... somehow...

Tell who?

Tina... who else? Let's do this again,

I will be Rahul, you be Tina.

Look up.

I love you

I love you too.

She will say the same

thing won't she?

Yes

Come here.

Shall I tell her?

Shall I go right now?

Do you really believe this

sh*t you are selling me?

I mean what did you think?

You had no idea that I

liked you all this time

and you are just

leading me on for this?

I mean who do you think I am?

Some kind of doormat that

you can just wipe your feet

over every time you come and go.

Some sorry story who is

going wait around for you

and cry and come to your

wedding and wish you all the best.

Well you know what, FFFUUC BEEP

People are different. Some times,

they just want different things.

No I'm talking about

the bigger picture.

You know life is much more than

one or two failed relationships.

We all want the same things...

We all want

happiness, love, family,

friends... I'm sure you want love.

I'm sure you just want to

get into her pants dude.

I heard that! No thank you.

I'm done with romance.

Besides I don't think we have

to take love out of one person

to give it to another.

Love is a bottomless glass.

Oooh, so you are a sensualist.

You like believe in free sex.

That's why you

didn't want to pay for it.

I wasn't talking about sex.

All I am saying is

that we need people.

So why not just make great

friends all over the world?

Why do you need romance?

Well I don't know. Life is short.

We are all insecure. Love

makes us feel secure, committed.

I used to be you.

You know when you call in a

friend they are always there.

It doesn't matter if

it has been eight years,

it doesn't matter

if it has been 20 years.

They welcome you with open arms.

Yeah, they may welcome you they

may want to have coffee with you,

they may invite you in

for dinner they may

even have you in for 2 weeks...

...in their house but at

the end of the day

everyone goes their

separate ways.

But seriously, you don't believe

that there's a love of your life?

No. I mean I used to.

I used to think that

the love of my life is

a guy who made me nervous.

Then I found out that

Prince Charming

only belongs in fairy tales.

Some time after that I thought

the love of my life was
