Chadwick Memorization Flashcards
Start scene 11
Okay. So how about this: a town populated only by tomatoes-
Walter: Tomatoes.
Little tomato people. They are busily preparing for Christmas, but little do they know, the mean tomato who lives at the top of the mountain is planning to steal Christmas this year.
Walter: you are describing the grinch
But with tomatoes!
Walter: … Where is Matthews?
He’s working a lead.
Matthews: I got it!
You got it?
Matthews: We got something better than an idea!
We got a book.
Walter: Are you kidding? Christopher Smith was the greatest writer of Christmas stories who ever lived. When you think of Christmas you think of Chris Smith
So, you would be happy if we brought him in?
Matthews Mr. Hobbs, I met this guy who deals in used furniture; high end stuff, from the homes of prominent dead writers. So, he recently acquired a desk once owned by one Christopher Smith.
And in this desk he finds a secret drawer-
Matthews: -and in this secret drawer he finds a manuscript.
A lost Chris Smith Christmas story!
Matthew’s: Isn’t it? The illustrations-
And the story will make you cry.
Matthews: Careful. It’s the only copy.
Are you nuts? What if someone spills coffee on it? Make a copy!
Walter: What?
It’s a small price to pay Mr. Hobbs…
Walter: I don’t know. That’s a lot of money.
Mr. Hobbs, we’ve been trying to come up with an idea for a story but we got nothing.
Matthews: We’re idiots!
And then this comes along: it’s a gift from god!
Matthews: And god gets mad when you don’t accept his…
Or her!
