A toast, establishing me as the wealthy, successful protagonist, who is handsome. Remember the green berry. Friendly concern that something may be missing from your life. Confidence that nothing is missing in my life. Reassured statement of my good fortune will not waver. Introduction of characters suffering from the most topical disability of the present year. Said retard is now under your custody. My catchphrase. Frustration with these new circumstances. Admiration at your seeming selflessness. Interest in your bold rejection of social norms as evidenced by your dyed hair. My name. My name. Catchphrase. Relief at having found meaning in my life. Friendly concern that a string of heightened and seemingly unrelated plots may now arise. Dude! Differences are surfacing between us. Accusations about your sexuality. Suspicion that a character once thought trustworthy may not be trustworthy. Also, I've got to use tough love to help this Latin American teenager believe in himself. Also, I must prove innocent this incredibly humble human male. Also, I've decided to fight with the Native American metaphor against the American military metaphor. Release me, Mel's name. Naive yet inspiring statement. And then the music gets hopeful. Specific outlining of your major character flaws. Overreaction. Friendly black optimistic advice. Passionate plea. Whispered repetition. Expliciting stating the moral of the story and awkwardly working in the movie title. It's not going to be entirely a dramatic film, because we laughed there.
