00:00If you could write it over, would you be less selfish, more brave, or would you do it the
00:10same?
00:11Gabe?
00:12What are you doing?
00:16Gabriel's life is unraveling.
00:19So he's writing a play.
00:20Dad says he's going to write a play about all of us.
00:23About the people he loves.
00:24What is all this about really?
00:25Do you know?
00:26No, I don't.
00:28His wife, his best friend, his daughter.
00:32But the hardest story will be his own.
00:35You're asking me to represent you, and you haven't written a word?
00:39Are you out of your mind?
00:40No, but...
00:41I represent serious playwrights, not schmucks.
00:44In one of the most revealing times of his life...
00:47I know that I should be happy.
00:50Like your life is living you instead of the other way around?
00:52Dad, why were you sad at Mom's party?
00:54Do I get you?
00:55No, you don't get me.
00:57Why?
00:58Because you're so damn complex?
00:59Ah!
01:00Give it a rest!
01:01Do you think Mom and Dad are alright?
01:02And you can't put this in your play!
01:03I'm not one of your dumb characters, I'm a person!
01:06It doesn't even faze you how selfish this is.
01:08If that's me, that'd be me in the play.
01:10What am I going to do?
01:12Well, you just keep on writing.
01:14Oh, come on!
01:15I love you, but I am really angry.
01:19You just have to think of it from her side rather than yours.
01:25I love the idea of being alone, but when you're alone, it's different.
01:30I want you to take a look at it and tell me what you think.
01:34I can't.
01:35Why not?
01:36It scares me.
01:38When nothing goes the way you planned, sometimes you have to lose everything you want to find
01:43everything you need.
01:45You need to just stop all the hesitation in your life.
01:48I'm not afraid anymore.
01:52Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton.
01:53If you're brushing me off and hanging up on me, it's going to be in the play.
01:57Academy Award winner Mira Sarvino.
01:59It's great.
02:00It just can be great and pathetic.
02:01Dana Delaney.
02:02What?
02:03I'm not that bad, am I?
02:04Mario Van Peebles.
02:05The toughest thing I ever dealt with in my life was just being in love.
02:09And Academy Award nominee Stonker Channing.
02:11Are you the devil?
02:12Oh, I hope so.
02:15Multiple Sarcasms.
02:16You're going to change the character names though, right?
02:19Yeah.
02:20Well, no.
