Protagonist |
| She stole my daydreams |
| She stole my air guitar |
| (Exterior. Man on lawn, alone at dawn.) |
| Packed the typewriter |
| And drove off in her car |
| (A battered automobile drives past state line sign.) |
| And now I know that I’ll rue the day |
| I let her get away |
| I need a haircut |
| I’ve got myself to blame |
| (A gloved hand spins a combination dial quickly opening a large wall safe.) |
| He wasn’t so fine |
| To my beginner’s mind |
| (Motel. The other man, severe, refined.) |
| But with that big talk |
| I should have seen the signs |
| (Woman enters and they embrace. He packs duct tape, rope.) |
| And right on her he was fixing his aim |
| He pushed me out of frame |
| I need new head shots |
| I’ve got myself to blame |
| (She spins her ring to hide the diamond in her hand and drops a gun into a |
| small beaded purse.) |
| Know the diff between a script and a spec |
| It’s a test, just the stage directions left |
| And no camera angles to use, mm-hmm |
| A novice script may seem strange in this format |
| But like any other business |
| It’s a standard that the writer gets used to, aw-huh |
| My scenes are cut out |
| I’m just on speaker phone |
| For exposition |
| I’m out here on my own |
| And as the night falls on this sleepy town |
| The iris closes down |
| I missed my close-up |
| I’ve got myself to blame |
| I’ve got myself to blame |
| I’ve got myself to blame |
