Really ruthless portrayal of someone who was self-destructive, but with a redemptive moment at the end that makes him very human. Also, really interestingly has a character allowing a lie in an unexpected way. And the shitting story is repeated twice, but is so much more revealing the second time, and almost is better because we know it's coming. Also, the dueling warren stories - warren as a little perverted kid who wants to see Sarah's crotch, vs. warren needing someone to care about him later and Ben blaming himself and Ted for killing warren. Finally, the idea that ben loves sarah, because when he knew her he was unselfconscious and had no barriers to loving her. Also, he feels like everyone is shitting on him, I think, but with Sarah -- he felt like he deserved her scorn. In a way, by creating this piece of shit reenactment video, he's invited her over to shit on him. It's part of his self-destructiveness.

NOTEThese outlines are not polished and they are not politically correct. They are bare bones and often do no justice to the script or the writers of said script. Posting the outlines here so they can be easily referenced when working on new pilots. Also thought they might be helpful to other writers out there. Archives
