Yerk. Still amazingly behind … 23 pages in, need 77 more to go. Need to write 8 pages a day to get back on track. Can you say AAAAAAA! I can. People stare at me when I do. But I can. Here’s a bit more about the script from the Script Frenzy site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Latest excerpt:<\/p>\n

\n

Green crackling fire envelops the whole machine, tinged by a growing blue glow of Cerenkov radiation. The air around the machine ripples, like the machine is dipped in water.<\/p>\n

Images begin appearing in the rippling miasma: Jeremiah and Patrick, Natasha raising her weapon, a footman falling. It’s clear these are a jumble of events, past and future.<\/p>\n

JEREMIAH<\/p>\n

(tilting her head)<\/p>\n

That’s more than an air craft.<\/p>\n

START FLASHBACK<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah, in a ridiculous dress, half undone, lounges in a punt. She waves at the shore, where Patrick walks with Georgiana, who glares jealously on.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah plucks a bit of cheese from a basket, strong hands push a pole, and the camera pans back to a young Albert Einstein, similarly disheveled, pushing the punt.<\/p>\n

JEREMIAH<\/p>\n

I wish we had more time.<\/p>\n

EINSTEIN<\/p>\n

(smiling sadly)<\/p>\n

What is time, but another kind of space? Ripples in one move us along the axis of the other.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah looks aside, where a dragonfly alights on a leaf. Water churns around the pole, an eddy catches the leaf, and it is whipped back around the pole as it moves forward.<\/p>\n

JEREMIAH<\/p>\n

If ripples are time and space, what’s flow? Can we get more time?<\/p>\n

EINSTEIN<\/p>\n

(winks at her)<\/p>\n

Must I give up all my secrets?<\/p>\n

JEREMIAH<\/p>\n

(crooks her finger)<\/p>\n

If you want to make more ripples.<\/p>\n

The dragonfly alights … and Jeremiah takes his hand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Poor Albert! Jeremiah will only break your heart. Onward!<\/p>\n
