Good Night Good Morning Page #7

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.

cried all night.

I would have cried asked you

to hold me and never let me go.

Mayday... Mayday...

Going down. Abort!

Hold on, I got to pee.

Hey, sorry I had to go.

That was uncontrollable.

Hey, when you got to go,

you got to go.

I hope the snow

doesn't delay my flight.

What time is it?

It's five minutes to six.

What time do you have to go?

I need to be at the

airport by seven thirty.

Which means I need to

leave in a half hour.

Are you done packing?

I'm in transit.

Just have to change.

We are almost home

and my phone's dying.

Soon we'll go back

to our own worlds...

...and remember the crazy night

that almost changed our lives.

Yes. It changed mine for sure.

How did it change yours?

Well, that will always

be my little secret.

Hello?

Hello

- Hello

Hello?

Damn it!

Dudes, my phone died again.

Dude!

Don't look at me.

Come on dude. You don't need

your phone anymore for GPS.

I need my phone.

No. Come on.

Give it to me please.

What do you need it so much for?

Dude! Is this any phone

call doing you any good?

Not sure yet.

You want to complicate

your life?

No, man, no.

Just help me out huh.

Just help me out.

One condition.

If you ever...

ever talk about your failed

fing eight year romance...

It's over. It's dead.

I'll never do it.

Ever.

- Never.

You can kick me in the

bs if I ever do...

Kick me... Just hard.

In the bs.

Like a little girl.

Hey sorry, JC's phone died

as well. This is HUSSAIN's.

I thought I said something wrong.

No, no. Hey truth or dare?

Ok... Dare.

I dare you to tell me

what your little secret is.

Ok, what's Truth?

I want to know the truth

about what your little secret is.

And please hurry up this

is going to die as well...

Okay,

I wish you hadn't said

what you did.

But you did.

And that makes this

that much more difficult.

What are talking about?

You make me feel

like it's my birthday.

Do you have to go?

Can you change your flight?

Go some other time, go tomorrow,

day after I don't care.

Don't go tonight.

- I wish I could.

Actually, I could but I

shouldn't and I wouldn't.

Because?

Because, that would make

this that much more difficult.

Ok.

I know I am going to

feel stupid saying this...

...and it might be

extremely irrelevant...

But all I want from

life is to be anywhere...

...and be a bum but be

with the girl I love...

...and that she loves me.

You know I have always needed

wanted to prove myself to my Dad.

I have always needed

him to understand

that I am ok and I

am going to go places.

He was so proud of me

when I told him that I am

almost done with my Ph D

and I am finally coming

back to India.

He was so happy and

everything felt so right.

My life was like back on track.

And suddenly...

...now...

...it doesn't seem

to matter remotely.

Life's a b*tch, right?

Hang on. I need to change.

I told you,

you shouldn't do that...

You are harmless.

Besides, we've done this before.

Hey, wait.

You are a beautiful woman.

I'm not sure if this

is even real or what

...but I'm scared that

I'm going to wake up...

and find out that

this was just a dream.

Beautiful.

Dream.

All it takes is a moment for

them to start doing something.

All it takes is a

moment for them to stop.

Yeah. I know I sound fickle.

...beginning of this phone call...

...I was holding on for

dear life to some girl...

...for three years ago and now

I'm pleading with another one.

Are you?

No, I am not pleading but...

Thank God! I

would've felt like the

world's cruelest b*tch

if you told me not to go.

No...

When you got to go,

you got to go.

I will always cherish tonight.

No matter where we go.

Nothing can change this.

It's been the most perfect night.

I want you to do one

thing before you go.

What?

Call me from the landline.

Why? - No, my phone's

going to die in any moment.

Just call me from

the landline ok.

Okay.

- Ok. Bye.

Hi - Hello. May I speak

with Mr. Turiya Omprakash?

Wow. You remember my surname.

I remember every bit of tonight.

I wanted you to clear your inbox.

Oh. You didn't really send

me any messages, loverboy.

That's true.

Okay, you're never going to

use this phone again, are you?

No.

- Ok.

I want you to remove the SIM card.

- Okay.

Ok?

- Taking out the SIM card

Thank you.

Now go to the bathroom.

Alright. Going to the bathroom.

Good.

Now just flush it down the toilet.

What?! Why?

Because.

What if I want to call you again?

That's why.

You don't want me to call you?

No, I want us to have a clean

break. I want us to travel light.

Okay.

Fast learner.

Oh guess it is time

for you to leave...

...and my battery is

going to die in any moment.

Thank you for doing that.

I know you did that for me.

What?

Help me clear my mind space.

So, I guess this is it.

Yes

Goodbye.

- No. Don't ever say Goodbye.

Goodnight.

Good Morning.

Put on some music guys.

Think she would've

gotten it by now.

What's that?

- The Waffles.

You actually got those delivered?

- Yep.

Well I got to say I am impressed.

But she's gone and you are moving

on and I am glad that you are.

You know I have never said this...

...but I am so glad

that you were right...

...all those times

that you abused me.

Thank you brother.

Do her man. Do her.

Ok.

Hi. This... This is TURIYA,

single and alone on

New Year's Eve.

Just like you.

LISTEN! I am not a hooker.

I am not some chick

you can pick up at a bar.

I'm not the girl that

you are going to take home.

I am not even going to

give you my phone number.

I am five drinks down and

I can still speak in

complete sentences...

...making total sense and perfect

logic with flawless grammar.

Did you guys

consider the possibility...

...that maybe I was just

sitting in my room bored...

...and stepped out for a drink.

Well... Well...

You are like the eighth

set of guys to hit on me over

the last two hours

and I am still sitting here,

ALONE!

By myself.

What does that tell you?

That... you talk a lot, sister.

It's always a great

ride while it lasts.

Most people know when to get off.

But me, I am a sucker.

I do it every time.

Despite the futility of it all.

The icebreaker

The honeymoon.

The reality check.

The break up.

The patch-up.

The confiding.

The great friendship.

And the killing confusion.

We always want more

but we can't have it all.

So we run away from the

very things we once chased.

And then one day, you find

someone you can walk with.

We are all companions anyway.

For a while. Or a longer while.
