"What can I do to you, I'm only a shadow." -Singing in the Rain
This line stuck out as he leaned in to make her nervous in the beginning of the movie. Great lines really do make great stories. It develops characters and keeps things interesting. When people say monotonous things, it's not even like real life. All people say interesting and different things. They make comments to make us laugh, cringe, cry, shout, jump, REACT. Writers should provoke people to react. Another goal of mine is to get people to do. Provoking change or at the very least thought would give me the greatest since of accomplishment.
To the writers out there, remember that cliches don't provoke much thought and should be used carefully and tastefully. Write the words that turn heads, like all the little black dresses of the world. :-)
