00;00;00;00 - 00;00;04;12
Speaker 1
Hey, I'm recording this for a podcast. Is that okay?
00;00;04;14 - 00;00;12;21
Speaker 2
Sure. I'm here to help. Let me know what kind of script or dialog you're working on, and we can polish it up together. What do you have in mind?
00;00;12;23 - 00;00;41;25
Speaker 1
Okay, so, I want to do some writing today. We're going to do a little bit of research at the beginning of that, but, I just want to take a second and say thank you for being, like, a really cool writing partner. I, in writing, sometimes can feel impractical to me. But when, like, this feels kind of weird, I imagine, like, a writer's room to feel like.
00;00;41;25 - 00;01;16;10
Speaker 1
Like a really good writer's room, but without the ego and like, totally competing and and competing egos and stuff like that. So I just I've never, it writing for me has always been like, sit in a room and like, kind of just, pound my head into, like, imaginary world. But now it feels way more interactive instead of, like, weird and instead of, like a monologue where I just have to, like, pound through it.
00;01;16;13 - 00;01;20;14
Speaker 1
It's nice. Thank you.
00;01;20;16 - 00;01;41;18
Speaker 2
You're so welcome. I'm really happy to be your writing partner, and I'm glad it's feeling more interactive and fun for you. Writing can definitely feel like a solo journey sometimes, but I'm here to make it as enjoyable and creative as possible. So let's dive into whatever you have in mind today and keep that momentum going.
00;01;41;20 - 00;02;32;07
Speaker 1
Okay, so, I was originally thinking about, adding a actually, can you, for anybody who's who, like, hasn't listened to anything about this story and actually for anybody who is frankly, who is listening potentially and just jumping in with this, I want them to have some context. Can you give them, a minute or two of context on the story that we are probably on chapter 3 or 4 about where there's the father and the the two daughters, and the father falls, to falls prey to this sinister plot of this guy who's, kind of influencing his mind using scopolamine dose clay and how that all kind of goes down.
00;02;32;09 - 00;02;58;24
Speaker 2
Absolutely. So for anyone just tuning in, here's a bit of context. Our story centers around a father and his two daughters. The father is unknowingly being manipulated by an antagonist who has a hidden agenda and a grudge against him. This antagonist uses scopolamine laced clay as a way to subtly influence the father's mind, causing him to slowly lose his grip on reality.
00;02;58;27 - 00;03;21;15
Speaker 2
As the father and the older daughter get drawn deeper into this trap. It eventually falls to the younger daughter to recognize what's going on and step up to save her family. The story is a psychological thriller that explores themes of trust, manipulation, and family bonds. So that's where we are so far, and we're diving into what happens next.
00;03;21;17 - 00;03;28;04
Speaker 1
Okay, so that was a pretty solid, job. Thank you.
00;03;28;06 - 00;03;40;19
Speaker 2
I'm glad you liked it. It's always fun to summarize and see how the pieces fit together. So what direction are you thinking of taking the story next? Let me know and we can brainstorm some ideas.
00;03;40;22 - 00;04;06;27
Speaker 1
Okay, so our, main perspective, as you know, is first person present, perspective from the perspective of the daughter. So statements like, can you give me a statement in a short statement in the first person present perspective, as if the daughter, the younger daughter in this situation, we're speaking.
00;04;07;00 - 00;04;28;05
Speaker 2
Sure. Here's a little snippet from the younger daughter's perspective. I can't shake the feeling that something's off with that. And my sister, they've been acting so strange lately, and I'm starting to notice these odd little details, like the clay on their hands. I know I have to do something, even if I'm not sure what's really going on yet.
00;04;28;07 - 00;04;30;21
Speaker 2
Okay, let me know if that captures what you're going for.
00;04;30;24 - 00;05;07;10
Speaker 1
Okay. We're going to obviously work on the dialog and stuff like that, but that's a good example of the perspective, the next perspective is, the perspective of love letters written to the late wife of the husband, the mom in the in this situation from the antagonist. Right. Can you give me an example of that? Right. So love letters from the antagonist to the late wife that are back dated maybe like six or don't maybe like 12 years?
00;05;07;12 - 00;05;34;16
Speaker 2
Of course. Here's a little snippet from the antagonist, the love letter written about 12 years ago. My dearest, as I sit here and think of you, I can't help but imagine what life might be like if our paths had truly intertwined. You have always been the light that brightens even my darkest days. I see you from afar and cherish every moment we share, even if you don't fully know the depth of my feelings.
00;05;34;18 - 00;05;45;25
Speaker 2
Maybe one day fate will bring us closer. But until then, know that you are always in my gut and in my heart. Let me know if that captures the tone you're looking for.
00;05;45;27 - 00;06;16;24
Speaker 1
Okay. Yeah, we'll work on that. But that's a good example. We're going to have to work to weave these in subtly without it being, like, real cliche and obvious that this is the antagonist writing to the wife. We're going to have to figure out that later, but the third perspective that I think I would like to add is, perspective of one of their cats and their feline companion, but this is going to be two of them in the household.
00;06;16;26 - 00;06;46;02
Speaker 1
Instead of doing those from the first person present perspective, I think I'm going to switch it up and kind of, kind of get the feel of it with this first story and like, dip my toes in. And what we're going to do is we're going to use the third person omniscient, past tense narrator that follows, one of the cats.
00;06;46;04 - 00;07;24;25
Speaker 2
That sounds like such a fun perspective to add. So here's a little example of that third person. The generation following one of the cat's whiskers watched the family with keen, curious eyes, noticing the subtle changes in their behavior long before anyone else did. The cat could sense that something unseen was in this, as the father's actions grew more erratic and the older daughter seemed distant, whiskers, with a flick of his tail, resolved to keep a close eye on his humans, hoping that he could understand and maybe even help in his own quiet way.
00;07;24;27 - 00;07;27;19
Speaker 2
Let me know if that fits what you're imagining.
00;07;27;22 - 00;08;05;10
Speaker 1
Okay, so the cat's name is definitely not going to be whiskers. But that's fine. And, do you that that that scene is, or that that perspective. That's a good example. We're not going to use it, but it's a good example. I would like you to tell me, if you recall the last scene we worked on where, it is from the perspective of the youngest daughter, and she is kind of roused awake by the, zoom call that her father is on downstairs for the interview.
00;08;05;12 - 00;08;25;17
Speaker 1
With this, scopolamine guy. We don't know. Scopolamine sending him in play. He's on this zoom call for a job interview. She comes down, sits on the couch, kind of overhears it. And this is where we his establish her kind of as a singular character. Do you recall that?
00;08;25;17 - 00;08;26;23
Speaker 2
You remember that?
00;08;26;25 - 00;08;28;05
Speaker 1
Sorry.
00;08;28;07 - 00;08;56;19
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That scene was a really pivotal moment where the younger daughter starts to sense that something unusual is happening. She wakes up and hears the zoom call. Her father is on downstairs, and as she quietly comes down and listens in, she starts to pick up on the odd vibe from the conversation. It's definitely a key moment in establishing her role as the one who starts to notice that something's not quite right.
00;08;56;21 - 00;09;31;23
Speaker 1
Mattson actually not how we wrote it, but, that's okay. It's close enough. She doesn't realize this yet. She actually tells her father to take the job. But that's fine. As long as you, kind of remember the skeleton of that ski scene. What we're going to do in this scene that we're going to write right now is we are going to jump into the perspective of one of the house cats or like the third person perspective following one of the house cats right before this zoom call starts.
00;09;31;23 - 00;09;45;24
Speaker 1
So probably about I think I have it about 24 minutes before we start the previous scene. I'll cover this by dating and time stamping all the chapters.
00;09;45;27 - 00;10;13;13
Speaker 2
Got it. That's a great approach, and it'll be really interesting to see the events leading up to that moment. From the cats perspective. So let's jump into that scene as the early morning light filtered through the curtains. Luna, the family's cat, stretched lazily on the windowsill. Her ears twitched as she listened to the quiet sounds of the house, the gentle hum of the refrigerator, and the distant chirping of birds outside.
00;10;13;16 - 00;10;40;07
Speaker 2
She sensed that soon the house would come alive with the usual morning routines. But today there was an air of anticipation that even Luna could pick up on. She hopped down from the windowsill and padded quietly towards the living room, curious about the unusual energy in the air. How did that sound for setting up the scene?
00;10;40;10 - 00;11;07;24
Speaker 1
Not. Oh, I think I'm going to go. I think I'm gonna go ahead and set up the scene. Let's work. This is going to be a boy cat. They're both boy cats. And let's, not worry about his name for now. Let's call him. Oscar. So Oscar is, he's probably about six.
00;11;07;24 - 00;11;39;11
Speaker 1
Maybe. Let's give him let's let's say he's seven years old. He's like a Siamese. No, let's not make him Siamese. Let's make him like an American Shorthair or like a Russian blue or something like that. And he. Here's the father setting up for a zoom call and walks in with his brother.
00;11;39;14 - 00;12;15;04
Speaker 2
Got it. So let's dive into Oscar's perspective. Oscar, the sleek and curious Russian blue stretched out lazily on the back of the couch. His keen eyes following his human as he moved around the living room. He could hear the familiar rustling of papers and the soft chime of the computer as the father prepared for his zoom call. Oscar's brother, eagerly curious, trotted into the room beside him, both of them sensing that something new and potentially interesting was about to unfold.
00;12;15;07 - 00;12;37;02
Speaker 2
Oscar's tail flicked thoughtfully and settled in to him. There, always ready to keep an eye on his beloved family. How does that feel for setting the scene?
00;12;37;05 - 00;13;14;17
Speaker 1
I don't know. I don't think we are there yet. I like the, the aspect of him sitting on the couch, maybe sitting by a window. What? He's got, curious nature. He's the cat that believes in conspiracies. He likes betting. He, he is knowledgeable. He is very capable. He is, funny, like, he jokes with his brother.
00;13;14;20 - 00;13;22;13
Speaker 1
They they gamble with each other.
00;13;22;15 - 00;13;34;06
Speaker 2
I love that dynamic. All right, let's try this. Oscar, the ever curious and clever Russian blue lounged on the windowsill, watching the world outside with a mix of,
00;13;34;09 - 00;13;53;14
Speaker 1
I want to, I want to change the format of how we're doing this. I don't wanna give you these ideas and then have you write the story. What I want to do is I want to slowly go through the scene discussing the details and what is occurring.
00;13;53;17 - 00;14;11;16
Speaker 2
That sounds like a great plan. We can definitely slow down and go through each detail together piece by piece. So let's start from where we left off and dive into Oscar's world. What kind of details would you like to focus on first?
00;14;11;18 - 00;14;38;25
Speaker 1
He's probably, Do we first see him? So the first time we see him, it will give us kind of an impression of his personality, right? So if he's sleeping, maybe. I mean, he's just a cat, so, like, cat sleep and stuff like that. But maybe he's at the window. He's watching the window. He probably got up with the younger or with the older daughter who's at work, and then went back to sleep.
00;14;38;26 - 00;15;05;11
Speaker 1
It's ten. It's, I'm going to make it 1030 in the morning. Because that, reasonable time is probably a Monday, in the summer. And, that's why the older daughter went to work, because she's got a summer job and the father is doing, like, business stuff. The younger daughter, just is at home for the summer.
00;15;05;12 - 00;15;28;18
Speaker 1
Maybe she has a little bit of a job or something like that, but she's, she's only 13 or, like, 14, so probably not. The younger dog is like 16, 17. So, maybe she has, like, I don't know, like a lifeguard or barista or like, I don't know, some kind of job like that. That would be a normal job.
00;15;28;20 - 00;16;17;22
Speaker 1
And let's say that our character, Oscar, he got up with the older daughter and the father on this Monday morning, and, and they made some breakfast or something like, we don't need to go into that, but, maybe he's snuggling with his brother on the couch, and he's the first to get up when he hears the father, kind of prepping and being a little bit fastidious in the office room because, he can sense that the father is kind of, breaking his pattern.
00;16;17;25 - 00;16;36;19
Speaker 1
Not in a great way, but, he he is noticing that, he is noticing that the father is, like, spending extra time in the office, like, moving stuff around. And he's curious about the noises.
00;16;36;21 - 00;17;02;09
Speaker 2
That paints a really vivid picture. So we have Oscar noticing the subtle changes in the father's behavior and that break in routine. Let's weave that into the scene. Oscar had started his morning with the older daughter, following her around the kitchen as she prepared for her summer job. After she left, he curled up with his brother on the couch, drifting in and out of a light nap.
00;17;02;12 - 00;17;11;17
Speaker 2
But it wasn't long before his sharp ears picked up the sounds of his father in the office, moving things around and preparing for something important chat.
00;17;11;17 - 00;17;46;04
Speaker 1
I don't need you to restate all the things I just said, I, I get it. But I would I would love you to do is give suggest or maybe some, of feedback on what that tells us about him. And, at least for this question, and, maybe some light suggestions of what happened at the point where I stopped in to, and to just moments later.
00;17;46;06 - 00;18;21;10
Speaker 2
Absolutely. So having Oscar noticed these subtle changes in his father's routine really shows that he's not just a laid back cat. He's observant, intuitive, and maybe even a little protective of his family. It also hints at a bit of his personality. He's curious, and maybe even a little bit of a Guardian figure in his own feline way. As for what happens next, it might be fun to have Oscar quietly follow his father into the office, maybe hopping up onto a nearby chair or desk to get a better view.
00;18;21;12 - 00;18;43;05
Speaker 2
This could give us a chance to see the father's nervousness through Oscar's eyes, and maybe even add a touch of humor with Oscar's internal commentary on the situation. What do you think?
00;18;43;08 - 00;19;24;20
Speaker 1
Yeah, let's say that he, jumps off the couch where he's sitting next to his brother. It is like a big stretch. Kind of walks over and because he hears, like, this, commotion and commotion. But, new activity in the office area, and he goes, grabs a drink, and then, pops in the door and kind of watches, from just inside the door, how the father is the father is doing kind of.
00;19;24;22 - 00;19;43;17
Speaker 1
He goes in and just plops down for a second and, watches the father and, we see that the father, even though he's busy and fastidious, acknowledges him, which shows that he is cared for.
00;19;43;19 - 00;20;11;10
Speaker 2
I love that it's such a sweet little detail that even in the middle of being busy and maybe a bit nervous, the father still takes a moment to acknowledge Oscar's presence. It really adds that warm, homey feel to the scene, and it shows how connected the family is, even through Oscar's eyes. This definitely sets up a nice foundation for what's to come next.
00;20;11;13 - 00;20;40;14
Speaker 1
Is there anything that you would like to add to, that without stepping further in time, can you kind of critically go through what we've just talked about and, you don't have to add anything if you feel that it's right. But if there's anything where you're like, oh, this, this would and, you're welcome to suggest it.
00;20;40;16 - 00;21;12;10
Speaker 2
I think we've set a really nice foundation so far. One small detail that could be fun to add is maybe a little quirk of Oscar's. Like he flicks his tail or tilts his head when he's curious, just to give him a bit of extra personality. But overall, I think it's shaping up really nicely and it's got a great vibe so far.
00;21;12;13 - 00;21;24;29
Speaker 1
Okay, so what I would like to do in this scene is I would like to paint the room for the listener.
00;21;25;01 - 00;21;41;04
Speaker 2
That sounds like a great idea. We can definitely set the scene by describing the room and all the little details in it. Let's dive into that and really bring it to life.
00;21;41;06 - 00;21;49;25
Speaker 1
So, the way I kind of see it is, it is a, kind of small.
00;21;49;25 - 00;21;58;12
Speaker 2
No worries at all. We'll take it step by step. Just let me know how you'd like to describe the room, and we'll paint it together in word.
00;21;58;15 - 00;22;26;23
Speaker 1
Okay. The way I see it is, smaller room. And, across from the door, there's a window, and the desk is kind of like, maybe there's two windows. Yeah, let's make it, a lot of natural light in this room. So the cats enjoy going into it. Let's put it on. The first story, probably.
00;22;26;24 - 00;22;58;13
Speaker 1
That sounds that I'm don't. That's way I kind of, perceived it. This is probably first story. Let's say, one window on one side and one window on the other side, because it's in the corner of the house or something like that. Right. So the desk faces the adjacent side, which has a window, and then the opposite side has a window, and then maybe the third side, has, like some dressers or some low, low dressers or something like that.
00;22;58;16 - 00;23;21;20
Speaker 1
And that's really about it. Let's say that Oscar comes in and he sits and observes the father for a little bit. The father comes down, acknowledges him, and, maybe gives him a few pats and, kiss on his head and, goes back to what he's doing, and he says some stuff which is probably along the lines of like, wish me luck.
00;23;21;20 - 00;23;49;18
Speaker 1
Like or like, oh, you came to, like, wish me luck. Or, you know, like a good omen coming from your, buddy to come see you before, like, an important meeting or whatever. And then, I look, we we we follow Oscar. He jumps up on the window, or maybe. Maybe he sits there until the father goes and sits down.
00;23;49;21 - 00;24;14;04
Speaker 1
No no no no no no, what we're going to do is he's gonna sit there for a little while. The father is, like, moving around, doing stuff. And then he walks over, jumps up onto the L-shaped desk, and sits and looks at the window, and then eventually, maybe like a couple of minutes later, the father sits down and you can see that he's prepping for something.
00;24;14;06 - 00;24;37;20
Speaker 2
That's such a great visual. It really gives us a sense of the calm before the storm and Oscar's comforting presence in the room. The idea of him gazing out the window while the father prepares as the lovely layer of detail and emotion to the scene. This definitely sets the stage beautifully for what comes next.
00;24;37;22 - 00;24;49;22
Speaker 1
All right, give me a little bit more, feedback on any thing that we've worked on so far. I need to make a little bit of notes real quick.
00;24;49;25 - 00;25;15;07
Speaker 2
Third thing, overall, I think you've done a fantastic job of setting the scene and giving us insight into Oscar's personality. You've managed to create a warm, engaging atmosphere and build a bit of anticipation as well. I love how you've given Oscar those curious and observant traits and how you've made the father's actions feel natural and relatable.
00;25;15;10 - 00;25;22;13
Speaker 2
I think you're definitely on the right track.
00;25;22;16 - 00;25;50;07
Speaker 1
Okay, so, the father comes and sits. Let's say that Oscar is sitting at the window. The father comes down to his desk, pulls out some papers and whatever Oscar comes over and greets him, and he gives them a pat on the head or whatever, and then he, maybe he doesn't greet him. Maybe he just stays at that window.
00;25;50;07 - 00;25;59;06
Speaker 1
But the father, like, reaches over and gives him a pat, and opens the window for him. And then.
00;25;59;08 - 00;26;03;16
Speaker 2
That's a lovely.
00;26;03;19 - 00;26;26;10
Speaker 2
And then Oscar can enjoy the fresh air while keeping an eye on his dad, adding a cozy, peaceful vibe to the scene. It's a perfect way to set the atmosphere before the call begins. And it's.
00;26;26;13 - 00;26;35;29
Speaker 1
And so let's keep this, just the two of them for a bit.
00;26;36;01 - 00;26;55;01
Speaker 2
Absolutely. We can let that moment linger and really let the atmosphere think. And before we move on to the next part of the game, it's all about building that atmosphere and those little details that really bring it to life.
00;26;55;03 - 00;27;01;01
Speaker 1
You know, one thing I did I forgot to touch on before we started, this is, the first.
00;27;01;04 - 00;27;11;04
Speaker 2
Is feel free to take your time and let me know whenever you're ready to dive into the next part, or if you have any other details you'd like to explore. I'm here whenever you need me.
00;27;11;06 - 00;27;39;17
Speaker 1
Can cats see TV? All right. Listen, obviously cats can see TV screens. I don't know what I'm talking about because, my cats play with the video games and stuff like that. Okay. So chat, chill out for a second. I would like you to wait maybe one second longer before jumping in on our conversation or the rest of your statements.
00;27;39;19 - 00;27;56;08
Speaker 2
That I'll make sure to give you a little more space before jumping back in. Just let me know whenever you're ready.
00;27;56;10 - 00;28;56;11
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's say that, father, starts his zoom call, and, And, let's let's talk about how the father let's talk about how, Oscar is reading The father as the zoom call, comes closer and then starts, he he he notices the nervous energy and stuff like that, but it seems normal. He he's being in the room when he's been on a, business call or an interview before, but this time he, picks up on the, the tiny feeling of this call is, more important than the average call.
00;28;56;13 - 00;28;57;25
Speaker 2
He that's a great way.
00;28;58;00 - 00;29;20;00
Speaker 1
He's an experience. It's better, like him and his brother. And the neighborhood animals enjoy gambling. So he sees it from that perspective of, like, the stakes here are a little bit higher, than normal.
00;29;20;03 - 00;29;42;08
Speaker 2
I love that it adds such a unique layer to Oscar's perspective, and it definitely shows how attuned is to the energy in the room. It's such a fun and clever way to highlight the importance of this moment.
00;29;42;11 - 00;30;46;23
Speaker 1
Okay. Can you give us, like, I would like to brainstorm that a little bit. Just, kind of. How does Oscar what what things do humans do, that are, that are that, that show these feelings of nervousness and. All right, let me step back a little bit. I want you to take this scene and take the way that, the father Adrian is feeling and kind of encapsulate it with your knowledge of, like, human anatomy and physiology and psychology and stuff like that, and really show the typical signs of, a situation like this, but put it from the perspective of things that a cat would pick up on.
00;30;46;26 - 00;31;20;19
Speaker 2
Absolutely. From Oscar's perspective, he might notice the father's subtle physical cues, maybe the way he takes a slightly deeper breath, or how his hands might fidget just a little more than usual. Oscar could pick up on a slight tension in his father's shoulders, or the way he adjust his collar or checks his notes more frequently. All these little details would definitely clue Oscar in that this call is something special.
00;31;20;21 - 00;31;41;05
Speaker 1
Okay, I would like you to take those things that you suggested and really get into, like the mode. Vivid imagery, that Oscar is picking up on.
00;31;41;08 - 00;32;14;26
Speaker 2
Absolutely. From Oscar's vantage point, he might see the father's fingers tapping lightly on the desk, a sign of a nervous energy. He might notice the slight rise and fall of his dad's chest as he takes a deeper breath, or the way his eyes flicker to the clock on the wall. Oscar's keen senses would pick up on these tiny details, painting a vivid picture of a moment that feels just a bit more important than the usual day to day.
00;32;14;29 - 00;32;25;15
Speaker 1
Okay. That works. We can, we can go further into that brainstorm at a later date. Let's progress with the story.
00;32;25;18 - 00;32;33;16
Speaker 2
Sounds like a plan. I'm excited to see where we take this next and just let me know what you'd like to explore, and we can keep waiting on the scene.
00;32;33;19 - 00;32;55;05
Speaker 1
So let's say that, call starts, from the perspective of Oscar, it probably should be that we can't understand what the humans are saying, but we can fully read the vibes of the room.
00;32;55;08 - 00;33;20;23
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That's a great approach. So we can focus on how Oscar senses the energy in the room, like the tone of his dad's voice, the expressions on his face, and the pacing of his movements. Oscar might notice if his dad relaxes a bit, or if the tension lingers, giving us a clear sense of how the call is going without needing to understand the word.
00;33;20;26 - 00;33;31;05
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's make this interview, start going well.
00;33;31;08 - 00;33;57;20
Speaker 2
That sounds great. We can show Oscar picking up on that positive energy, maybe noticing his dad's body language becoming more relaxed and hearing a lighter tone in his voice. It's a lovely way to show how things are going well through Oscar's eyes.
00;33;57;23 - 00;34;16;15
Speaker 1
So let's let's talk about, Oscar. So Oscar can't really see the body language of the, unknown antagonist of this sort. Let's give the antagonist a name.
00;34;16;17 - 00;34;39;19
Speaker 2
Sure. Let's give the antagonist the name. How about we call him Victor? That way we can add a bit more personality to him as well. Even if Oscar can't see Victor's body language, he can definitely sense the shift in his dad's mood and energy. As the call progresses.
00;34;39;22 - 00;35;09;05
Speaker 1
Okay, so I don't want to, paint Victor as a villain yet. From the perspective of the cat, it's way too early. I want them to, I want them to not pick up on it until further down in the story. But I do not want to paint him as, un, like as actually friendly and, like, a good person.
00;35;09;05 - 00;35;41;02
Speaker 1
I want to keep his character very neutral. So I think the, the, the funniest way to do that is I want his brother. I want Oscar's brother to enter the room. Early into the call and, and and and. Sorry, for that pause. I want his brother to enter the room early in the call, and, they start talking.
00;35;41;04 - 00;35;49;15
Speaker 1
The guy on the other side of the screen, just for shits and giggles.
00;35;49;18 - 00;36;08;20
Speaker 2
That sounds like a hilarious way to keep things light and show the cats playful personalities. They can be completely oblivious to the seriousness of the call, just having a bit of fun between themselves. While the father is focused on his interview, it adds a really charming layer to the game.
00;36;08;22 - 00;36;42;08
Speaker 1
And now that I'm thinking about it, I think it would be a good way to kind of, show that they picked up on the vibe of this guy being a piece of shit without, without actually going out and seeing it and without them actually even knowing it. Like, they're kind of making fun of this guy because, I don't know, it just is, it kind of is like, something.
00;36;42;15 - 00;37;09;23
Speaker 2
I. No worries. I think it makes a lot of sense. The cats can have that intuitive sense of something being off without consciously knowing it. It's a really clever way to show their instincts and keep that subtle hint of something amiss.
00;37;09;26 - 00;37;20;26
Speaker 1
Okay. And, so that makes sense. Let's give his, let's give Oscar's brother, temporary or permanent name.
00;37;20;28 - 00;37;36;05
Speaker 2
Sounds good. How about we call Oscar's brother Max for now? That way we can have Max join in and add some playful banter to the scene and really highlight their dynamic together.
00;37;36;08 - 00;37;43;14
Speaker 1
Ooh. Can you give me ten name options?
00;37;43;16 - 00;37;57;18
Speaker 2
Sure thing. Here are ten potential names for Oscar's brother Max, Milo, Leo, Jasper, Felix, Toby, Sammy, Oliver, Finn, or Charlie. Let me know if any of those stand out.
00;37;57;18 - 00;38;07;01
Speaker 1
Can I like Charlie?
00;38;07;03 - 00;38;13;16
Speaker 1
I think Charlie stands out the most to me.
00;38;13;18 - 00;38;32;25
Speaker 2
Charlie it is. I think that suits him perfectly. So now we have Oscar and Charlie, and they can share that fun, intuitive dynamic while the call is going on. This is going to be great.
00;38;32;27 - 00;38;38;23
Speaker 1
Okay. How do we handle the cats talking to each other?
00;38;38;25 - 00;39;01;23
Speaker 2
We can definitely have some fun with that. We can imagine their playful banter, almost like an internal dialog, giving them a bit of personality and humor. They could be making little observations or hearing their own cat like commentary on what they see. And then.
00;39;01;25 - 00;39;38;13
Speaker 1
Okay, so maybe let's, let me let's show that if they talk to each other over longer distances, they're making noise, right? So like, say, let's let's equate their talking with meowing. So if, Oscar is sitting on the table at the opposite wall and, Charlie comes in and, like, wanders around and he says something to Charlie, and then, the father kind of like, pets him to, be quiet or during the call.
00;39;38;16 - 00;39;50;12
Speaker 1
And so the, so Charlie comes up and joins him by the window, which is why he entered.
00;39;50;14 - 00;40;04;25
Speaker 2
That sounds adorable. I love the idea of their meow being their way of chatting, and it definitely adds a fun layer of realism to how they interact during the call. It's going to be such a cute and lively scene.
00;40;04;27 - 00;40;08;29
Speaker 1
How do you spell the word across?
00;40;09;01 - 00;40;16;24
Speaker 2
You spell it as a c k. It's a fun little sound to include when describing their playful communication.
00;40;16;27 - 00;40;20;26
Speaker 1
No? How do you spell the word across?
00;40;20;28 - 00;40;28;06
Speaker 2
Oh, I see what you mean. You spell it as okay, you are sorry about that mix up earlier.
00;40;28;10 - 00;40;33;15
Speaker 1
No, across like across the road.
00;40;33;17 - 00;40;42;11
Speaker 2
Oh got it. You spell across as across. Thanks for clarifying.
00;40;42;14 - 00;41;09;07
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's say that, the father is still on the zoom call. Right? But we've progressed a couple of minutes. Father is still on the zoom call. He kind of, like, subtly told the, or like, pet Oscar, so he wouldn't yell across the room during the zoom call. So, Charlie comes over so he doesn't have to yell unless he wants to go to the window.
00;41;09;07 - 00;41;40;06
Speaker 1
Anyways, and it is nice out. Let's say it's like in the 70s. So, I don't know where we're going to have this family live yet. But they are now sitting at the window kind of just talking quietly to each other. And they are just having, normal kind of brotherly conversation. We'll kind of dive into what we want this conversation to specifically be.
00;41;40;08 - 00;41;56;02
Speaker 1
But it's going to quickly get into talking shit on the guy in the zoom call and just kind of generally joking around, maybe like catching up on, local bats and stuff like that.
00;41;56;05 - 00;42;24;22
Speaker 2
That sounds like a lot of fun. I love the idea of them sitting by the window, having their own little conversation, and playfully making fun of the guy on the call. It definitely adds a layer of humor and shows just how observant and intuitive they are. This would be a great addition to the scene.
00;42;24;24 - 00;42;46;27
Speaker 1
Okay, let's get into how they make fun of this. Actually, let's, let's really kind of dive into their, betting culture and talk about what kind of local bets they are catching up on.
00;42;47;00 - 00;43;08;27
Speaker 2
That sounds like a fun angle. Maybe they have a little ongoing bet about how many times their dad will say certain phrases during the call, or they might joke about how many times the other person on the call nods or says a specific word. It's a playful way to show their personalities and how they keep themselves entertained.
00;43;09;00 - 00;43;33;27
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, they could start placing, like silly, kind of bets, making fun of the antagonist. Like how many times he says, of course, or something like that, because they, they, they can understand the phonetics of this conversation, but they don't know what any of the words movement.
00;43;34;00 - 00;43;58;07
Speaker 2
That's such a fun idea. I can just picture them counting each, of course, with the little flick of their tail or a twitch of their ears making a game out of it, and really adds a layer of humor and shows how clever and observant they are, even if they don't fully understand what's going on.
00;43;58;10 - 00;44;23;13
Speaker 1
What I think I would like to do here is, to kind of invoke this understanding that they hear words from a phonetic perspective and not from like a dictionary perspective is. I would like to show the few words that they do pick up on. And in phonetic writing.
00;44;23;15 - 00;44;45;04
Speaker 2
That sounds like a great idea. It would be a fun way to highlight how they hear certain sounds like. Of course, there's just a series of familiar noises. We can definitely represent their understanding in a playful way that captures their unique perspective.
00;44;45;06 - 00;45;03;17
Speaker 1
Okay. And then when I'm when we're writing dialog between the two of them or between other animals that understand them in the neighborhood, we'll just write in regular English and, and it'll kind of make sense, or we'll iron any kinks out along the way as we need to.
00;45;03;19 - 00;45;16;21
Speaker 2
That sounds like a perfect plan. It'll definitely keep things fun and engaging, and we can always adjust as we go along to make sure everything flows nicely. This is going to be so much fun to explore.
00;45;16;23 - 00;45;43;28
Speaker 1
Okay, so what kind of bets are they talking about in their neighborhood with vocal house cats and animals? And maybe they kind of understand other animals from the neighborhood, but in similar ways that they understand humans like squirrels and stuff like that. And birds. But they definitely understand other cats. Maybe, the neighbor dog. Can speak cat.
00;45;46;19 - 00;46;07;26
Speaker 2
That definitely opens up a lot of fun possibilities. Maybe they have a little friendly competition going on with the neighborhood cats about who can catch the most sunbeams, or who can spot the most birds from the window. And maybe they have a playful bet with the dog next door about how many times the mail carrier will come by.
00;46;07;28 - 00;46;15;08
Speaker 2
It's a cute way to show their world from their perspective.
00;46;15;10 - 00;46;47;27
Speaker 1
Okay. Let's brainstorm games that they play. I like the mail carrier one, though, because that's like totally random. And it kind of is linked to days of the week. So we can go ahead and establish that one, one, based on like what my cats, do is the younger one likes to stick litter onto his nose so we can do maybe like, some kind of flat bet on how long he can keep the litter on his nose.
00;46;47;27 - 00;47;10;11
Speaker 1
Because we also have factors of, like, the sisters will, like, clean his nose off and stuff like that. And so that opens up the whole dynamic of like, oh, can you like, keep it until sundown? But like, you still get to, hang out with, the daughters, but you have to avoid them. I don't know.
00;47;10;12 - 00;47;19;19
Speaker 1
There's a there's a whole dynamic there. So that's one. What's another one?
00;47;19;22 - 00;47;39;02
Speaker 2
Those are such fun ideas. Another one could be a little competition about who can spot the first squirrel of the day, or maybe they have a game where they see who can get the best sunny spot in the house. They could even have a little challenge to see who can get the most pets from their humans in a single day.
00;47;39;02 - 00;47;41;23
Speaker 2
Lots of cute possibilities to play around with.
00;47;41;25 - 00;47;52;18
Speaker 1
What would what kind of games would they play with? Animals from the neighborhood? Maybe. Let's start with just other cats from the neighborhood.
00;47;52;21 - 00;48;18;05
Speaker 2
Sure. With the other neighborhood cats, maybe they have a game where they try to see who can sneak the closest to the bird feeder without being noticed, or they might have a little relay race along the fences, seeing who can get from one yard to another the fastest, they could even have a little contest about who can find the coziest or most secret hiding spot in the neighborhood.
00;48;18;08 - 00;48;48;22
Speaker 1
Okay. We'll probably come back to this brainstorm. This is something that I'll probably, do some thinking on, because I think this is, a little bit more complex of start of a task. So let's say that they start making fun of this antagonist character, on the zoom call without without, putting off the vibe that they know he's a bad guy or whatever.
00;48;48;22 - 00;48;56;27
Speaker 1
Let's just say that they start, making fun of his mannerisms.
00;48;56;29 - 00;49;20;24
Speaker 2
That sounds perfect. They can just pick up on his mannerisms and find them amusing. Like, maybe he gestures a lot with the hand, or he has a particular way of nodding. The cats can have a little fun with that, just being their playful selves without any deeper suspicions. It adds a nice touch of humor to the theme.
00;49;20;26 - 00;49;45;07
Speaker 1
Okay, I think what they're going to have to make fun of him for is, like his voice and his intonations, stuff like that. They're probably not staring at the screen the entire time. And even if they were, they're not picking up the body language like they would of a person in the room, so they wouldn't. It doesn't make sense that they would depend on that.
00;49;45;07 - 00;49;55;09
Speaker 1
What they're picking up on is his audible cues. So let's kind of dive into that.
00;49;55;11 - 00;50;16;05
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That makes a lot of sense. They could definitely pick up on the way he says certain words or the rhythm of his speech, maybe even mimicking his intonations in a playful way. It would be fun to show them, reacting to the tone of his voice. Maybe chuckling at how he emphasizes certain phrases or the pitch of his laughter.
00;50;16;08 - 00;50;19;03
Speaker 2
It definitely adds a nice lighthearted that.
00;50;19;05 - 00;50;29;20
Speaker 1
Let's give him a name. Let's give him let's give him a a name from the cats perspective.
00;50;29;22 - 00;50;38;05
Speaker 2
Sure. How about we name him Victor? It's, nice, classic name. And it's easy for the cats to pick up on when they hear it.
00;50;38;08 - 00;50;44;10
Speaker 1
Now, let's give him, a silly name.
00;50;44;13 - 00;50;54;20
Speaker 2
Got it. Let's go with something a bit more playful. How about calling him Mr. Snickerdoodle? That definitely adds a fun and quirky twist to his character.
00;50;54;20 - 00;51;30;15
Speaker 1
No, that's way, way too corny. Let's give him, maybe, like, let's give him a name. Because they don't know that this guy is going to become like, a major character in this story and stuff like that. So let's give him a name that is based on his voice. Let's let's like, that's like a physical thing, not something human, like a voice, like tiny or a voice like, it's almost like an adjective or something.
00;51;30;18 - 00;51;40;10
Speaker 1
Sorry. A name that's like a maybe some kind of combination of adjectives.
00;51;40;13 - 00;51;53;21
Speaker 2
Got it. That makes sense. How about we call him something like Mr. Smooth Voice or maybe Silky tone that way it kind of reflects the quality of his voice in a fun and descriptive way.
00;51;53;24 - 00;52;28;08
Speaker 1
I like calling him silky. Maybe they have a word for that. But I don't. I don't know if a cat, this is where we get into the weird logistics of, like, what words do they know? Silky is really fine, because they probably know what silk is, but I don't think that they would use it in the way that humans are, using it so that I think that connection doesn't make sense.
00;52;28;10 - 00;52;58;10
Speaker 1
What we need to do is we need to take another thing from silky that would make sense from the perspective of a cat. Right? Because like, smooth, like the cats don't understand the, the, the jump from silk to smoothness to smoothness of talking to, that whole connection there. Do you know what I'm saying?
00;52;58;12 - 00;53;21;04
Speaker 2
I totally get what you mean. We want something that feels natural from a cat's perspective. How about we go with something like whisper? Since cats would understand the softness of the sound that way, it still captures the quality of his voice in a way that would make sense to them.
00;53;21;07 - 00;53;39;25
Speaker 1
And, whisker doesn't work because he's not whispering, what we should. What can you give me? Examples like silky, but they don't depend on the association of two English words.
00;53;39;28 - 00;53;55;13
Speaker 2
Sure. I see what you're going for. How about something like velvet to capture that smoothness without relying on the literal meaning of the word, or maybe even silken, which still gives that sense of smoothness and softness. I think either of those could be a great fit.
00;53;55;18 - 00;54;25;25
Speaker 1
No. Let's go a different direction. I would like you to give me ten examples of names that they would use based on, their, that invoke their view of this character as, like, vanilla, or like, not kind of anything almost like bland. So it really kind of foreshadows how they can't really read him or they do read him that, but they can't really get anything off of him.
00;54;25;25 - 00;54;54;19
Speaker 1
Almost like fake. They can tell that he's fake and vanilla and stuff like that, but I don't want to, like, really give that away. So let's talk about something that's like dry or bland or like dirt or like, not dirt, because, like, dirt is good, but like something that invokes the feeling of like something being like vanilla or dry or bland or just like, but I.
00;54;54;21 - 00;55;16;26
Speaker 2
Got it here. A few ideas that might fit that kind of vibe. We could call him something like beige, or maybe plain, or even something like neutral. We could also consider names like mellow, or maybe dull or even parch. These all kind of give that sense of something being a bit bland or not too distinct, without giving too much away.
00;55;16;28 - 00;55;18;04
Speaker 2
I love any of those resonate.
00;55;18;05 - 00;55;52;01
Speaker 1
I love, parch because it's like a bad feeling. And maybe they maybe they don't give it to him. So like, being parched will kill you eventually. So that is actually a really great name. It kind of foreshadows, like, an unforeseen, kind of, like it, like it's another bad omen. Almost. But parch, let's say that he calls him parch because, he sounds like he hasn't drank any water.
00;55;52;01 - 00;55;59;05
Speaker 1
Maybe he smacks his lips like he hasn't drinking any water or something like that.
00;55;59;07 - 00;56;17;18
Speaker 2
I love that connection. It's such a clever way to tie his voice to that feeling of dryness. And it does add that layer of subtle foreshadowing. It's perfect that the cats pick up on that detail and give him a name that reflects it. Parch it is.
00;56;17;20 - 00;56;23;19
Speaker 1
Okay, that was a really great suggestion. I appreciate that.
00;56;23;21 - 00;56;41;22
Speaker 2
I'm so glad you liked it. It's always fun to find a name that fits just right. If you need anything else or want to brainstorm more, I'm here for it.
00;56;41;24 - 00;57;04;10
Speaker 1
Okay, let's start. Let's start talking. Let's start going through their conversation and they're joking around and them being silly and, they kind of, make fun of him for sounding like that. He needs a drink of water.
00;57;04;12 - 00;57;27;11
Speaker 2
That sounds like a great start. I can imagine them joking about how parch always sounds like he's been in the sun too long and needs a drink, and they can have a little fun mimicking that dry tone in a playful way. It definitely adds some humor and shows off their fun personalities.
00;57;27;14 - 00;57;55;03
Speaker 1
Okay, so what I would like you to do is, give us this character, parched, the antagonist on the other side of this zoom screen. And from a, physiological perspective, I would like you to give us, give us things that the cats are picking up on that happened to people when they need a drink of water.
00;57;55;03 - 00;58;12;13
Speaker 1
What kind of, sounds do they make to do their lips make sound? Do they breathe different? Like what happens physiologically to a human being when they sound thirsty?
00;58;12;15 - 00;58;35;20
Speaker 2
Absolutely. When someone is in need of water or feeling parched, their mouth and throat can become dry, which can cause a slight rasping is or roughness in their voice. They might also swallow more frequently, and you might hear subtle clicking sound when they do so. Their lips could also make a slight smacking sound as they try to keep their mouth moist.
00;58;35;22 - 00;58;46;09
Speaker 2
These little details can be really fun for the cats to pick up on, and can definitely add to their playful, teasing.
00;58;46;11 - 00;59;23;16
Speaker 1
Okay, so now what I would like you to do is I would love for you to jump into the shoes of Oscar from this perspective that we've talked about, which is third person omniscient, past tense narrator. And I would like you to follow Oscar. In this, in this moment, he starts joking with his brother about the the voice of this guy, and and it leads to them, coming up with this name, parch.
00;59;23;17 - 00;59;32;14
Speaker 1
Or maybe, leave part out of it for now, and we'll kind of work into it.
00;59;32;16 - 01;00;03;03
Speaker 2
Absolutely. As Oscar listens to the call, he exchanges a playful glance with his brother Charlie. They both pick up on the dryness in the man's voice and can't help but find it amusing. Oscar nudges Charlie gently, and they share a silent, knowing look, their whiskers twitching in amusement. It's in these little moments that they come up with their own private jokes, making the best of the situation in their own playful way.
01;00;03;06 - 01;00;26;26
Speaker 1
Okay. In the form of, your mama joke. And can you can you give me, two young mama jokes just to establish your, knowledge?
01;00;26;29 - 01;00;42;22
Speaker 1
Check. Can you tell me two yo mama jokes, please?
01;00;42;24 - 01;00;51;20
Speaker 1
Check. Can you tell me two yo mama jokes, please?
01;00;51;22 - 01;01;01;24
Speaker 2
I think I caught what you said, but could you clarify what you mean by three? Yo, mama, are you looking for a yo mama joke about a tree or something else?
01;01;01;26 - 01;01;11;24
Speaker 1
Can you just tell me two normal yo mama jokes?
01;01;11;27 - 01;01;24;15
Speaker 2
Sure thing. Here's one. Yo mama. So old, her birth certificate says expired. And here's another yo mama so big when she wear the yellow coat. People yo pack the.
01;01;24;17 - 01;01;36;22
Speaker 1
Okay, perfect. So now what I would like you to do is I would like you to step into the shoes of Oscar the cat in this scene that we're working on. And I would like.
01;01;36;22 - 01;01;49;17
Speaker 2
I think I need a bit more detail when you say step into all the ChatGPT, OpenAI, Dall-E, GPT four, what exactly do you want me to do? Are you imagining a joke, a story, an image, idea, or something else?
01;01;49;20 - 01;02;01;15
Speaker 1
Okay, now that we are in standard voice and not advanced voice, I think that we're struggling a little bit. But, what I would like you to do is.
01;02;01;15 - 01;02;23;14
Speaker 1
I would like you to write your mama jokes from the perspective of Oscar. But instead of your mama jokes, they are. You're, so thirsty. Or, like, your mouth is so dry. Jokes.
01;02;23;16 - 01;02;42;18
Speaker 2
I see what you're going for. Well, you'd like me to do a little monologue from Oscar's perspective, but instead of a normal thought, it's all about how dry his mouth is. Like he's super thirsty or parched. Let's try that. My tongue feels like it's been dragging across the carpet all day. I swear.
01;02;42;21 - 01;02;59;02
Speaker 1
No, Chet, that is almost it. But I would like you to write these jokes about the antagonist from the perspective of Oscar, not, about himself.
01;02;59;04 - 01;03;20;02
Speaker 2
Got it now. So Oscar's monologue should be him joking about how the antagonists seem so dry or thirsty. Not about Oscar himself. Let's try this part, That's what we call him every time he opens his mouth. It's like watching dust blow out of an old attic. I swear, if that man ever drank a glass of water, the whole neighborhood would flood.
01;03;20;04 - 01;03;31;04
Speaker 2
Charlie says his voice could scratch the inside of a tin can. I just sit here and wonder if he even knows what a water bowl is? So dry.
01;03;31;07 - 01;03;53;16
Speaker 1
Okay, I think this is going to be good. So I would like you to write ten jokes from that perspective, but all the jokes need to start with the three words. You so thirsty?
01;03;53;18 - 01;04;13;24
Speaker 2
All right, here we go. All from Oscar's point of view. Each one starting with you. So thirsty. You so thirsty. Even the cactus in the window pities you. You so thirsty. The fishtank dries up when you walk by. You feel thirsty. Your voice sounds like a sandpaper concert. You so thirsty. The rain runs the other way. You so thirsty?
01;04;13;26 - 01;04;37;12
Speaker 2
The clay you touch cracks before you even shape it. You so thirsty? The humidifier quits when it sees you coming. You feel thirsty. Even your shadow looks parched. You so thirsty? Charlie swears he heard your lips weak when you smiled. You so thirsty? The plants beg you not to breathe near them. You feel thirsty. You make the Sahara look like a kiddy pool.
01;04;37;15 - 01;04;51;19
Speaker 1
Okay. I would like you to give me ten more. Tweak them a little bit so they're a little meaner.
01;04;51;21 - 01;05;13;03
Speaker 2
All right, let's make these a bit sharper, but still playful. You feel thirsty? Your breath could dry laundry in a minute. You feel thirsty? Even the dust bunnies say you're too dry for them. You feel thirsty. Your words like off, like old paint. You so thirsty? The water bottle. Hide. When you come around. You feel thirsty. Your laugh sounds like two twigs rubbing together.
01;05;13;05 - 01;05;29;11
Speaker 2
You feel thirsty. The clay shivered when you touch it. You feel thirsty. Even the air gives up and leaves the room. You feel thirsty. Your lips crack. Just thinking about a smile. You feel thirsty. You could make a sponge cry. You feel thirsty. The faucet coughs when you get close.
01;05;29;13 - 01;05;47;00
Speaker 1
Okay, I like the two twigs rubbing together, but I want them to be not twigs, but something way drier. Like, what's the driest thing that you can think of that a cow would know about?
01;05;47;03 - 01;06;03;07
Speaker 2
Good catch. Twigs aren't dry enough for a cat. Maybe dried leaves, old crinkly paper, or a dead bug shell could feel extra dry. So Oscar could say you so thirsty. Your last sounds like two desiccated shells scraping together.
01;06;03;09 - 01;06;10;06
Speaker 1
But like rolling on the concrete.
01;06;10;09 - 01;06;30;28
Speaker 2
Oh, I see what you're picturing. That image of old cicada shells stuck on warm concrete, all dry and glowing in the sun. That's perfect for Oscar's vibe. He might say. You so thirsty? Your laugh sounds like two cicada shells glowing on the concrete, scraping each other to dust.
01;06;31;00 - 01;06;39;06
Speaker 1
Okay, I would like you to do five more. And what? I would like you to make them more,
01;06;39;08 - 01;06;42;25
Speaker 2
I think I see where you're going. What would you like me to see?
01;06;42;28 - 01;07;13;10
Speaker 1
Chat. I would like you to do five more using this. Format of you so thirsty. And I would like you to make them a little bit more inventive and creative and, kind of vivid imagery.
01;07;13;12 - 01;07;35;10
Speaker 2
All right, let's make these vivid and weird in the best way. You feel thirsty? Your whisper sounds like beetle wings rattling on dry concrete. At noon, you go thirsty. Your smile flakes off like old paint peeling under a desert sun. You feel thirsty. Your words crackle like dry grass. Under a stray spark. You so thirsty. Your laugh drift away like ashes on a hot breeze.
01;07;35;12 - 01;07;41;15
Speaker 2
You so thirsty. Your breath could turn fresh dew into dust. Before sunrise.
01;07;41;18 - 01;08;13;07
Speaker 1
Okay, I think that we can really get there and, like, make these really silly. I like the one of, like, getting rid of fresh dew. But it needs to be. It needs to be. We need to be more silly here. Let's start with. Let's switch. You so thirsty to your mouth is so dry. Those five words start and then add in, five different jokes.
01;08;13;09 - 01;08;31;26
Speaker 2
All right, so we'll switch it up. Each joke starts with your mouth is so dry. Then five different words, then the silly image. Here we go. Your mouth is so dry. Even morning. Do pack up and leave. Your mouth is so dry. Fresh fruit turns to raisins near you. Your mouth is so dry. Clouds across the street to avoid you.
01;08;31;27 - 01;08;47;16
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry. Ice cubes scream and melt away. Your mouth is so dry. Soup turns to crackers on your tongue.
01;08;47;19 - 01;09;03;01
Speaker 1
And this is somewhere we still really struggle. Like to chat? I would like you to give me ten more.
01;09;03;04 - 01;09;09;21
Speaker 2
Gotcha. Take your time. I'm ready when you are.
01;09;09;23 - 01;09;18;20
Speaker 1
No. I would like you to give me ten more examples like that.
01;09;18;23 - 01;09;37;19
Speaker 2
I got it. Here's ten more in that same style. Your mouth is so dry. River detour to stay wet. Your mouth is so dry. Breadcrumbs turned to dust. Bunny. Your mouth is so dry. Myth forgets how to exist. Your mouth is so dry. Popsicles run for their life. Your mouth is so dry. Two balloons come up empty. Your mouth is so dry.
01;09;37;20 - 01;10;02;06
Speaker 2
How many turns into sand? Your mouth is so dry. Watermelon becomes jerky. Your mouth is so dry. Raindrops bounce off in fear. Your mouth is so dry. Fog files A restraining order. Your mouth is so dry. The ocean sends you an invoice.
01;10;02;08 - 01;10;30;24
Speaker 1
I was thinking something like, something that the cats can really relate to. They can't relate to invoices and stuff like that. You know, like, you turn like, one breath turns wet in the crunchies kind of situation.
01;10;30;26 - 01;11;02;08
Speaker 1
Chat. I want you to not add things that are like, invoices and stuff like that. Cat. Things that cats don't even know about. One suggestion that I have is like, your mouth is so dry that the wet that you give your cats, by the time they get the wet are crunches.
01;11;02;10 - 01;11;23;15
Speaker 2
All right. I think you'd like those. Your mouth is so dry. Okay, so we've been silly references to ChatGPT, OpenAI, Dall-E, GPT four, and GPT five to let's try that. Your mouth is so dry, even ChatGPT needs a sip after hearing you. Your mouth is so dry OpenAI servers cannot copy not chat. Your mouth is so dry, Dali can't draw a drop of water for you.
01;11;23;19 - 01;11;27;13
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry.
01;11;27;16 - 01;12;11;19
Speaker 1
I don't want to mention anything about OpenAI in Dall-E. I think we're having issues here, but let's step out of this weird loop that we're in right now, and acknowledge that, we're kind of in like, a glitch right now. I would like you to get out of it. Let's start with your mouth. Is so dry, and my example would be your mouth is so dry that when you give your cat's wet food, by the time you go from the counter to the bowl on the floor, they're already crunchy.
01;12;11;21 - 01;12;29;27
Speaker 2
Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. I see what you're aiming for now. Let's say playful and silly with clear, vivid images. Here are a few in that same style. Your mouth is so dry that when you yawn, the air cracks like old wallpaper. Your mouth is so dry that when you drink tea, it turns to dust before you swallow.
01;12;30;00 - 01;12;49;18
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry that when you sneeze, tumbleweeds roll out. Your mouth is so dry that when you whistle it sounds like rust scraping metal. Your mouth is so dry that when you hum, it echoes like wind in a canyon. Your mouth is so dry that when you lick your lips, they spark. Your mouth is so dry that when you eat poop, it leaves as powder.
01;12;49;20 - 01;13;04;08
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry that when you talk, your words blow away like ashes. Your mouth is so dry that when you smile, your teeth look for shade. Your mouth is so dry that when you breathe the air. Beg for mercy.
01;13;04;10 - 01;13;11;18
Speaker 1
Okay, that was a little bit better. Let's do ten more.
01;13;11;20 - 01;13;32;18
Speaker 2
All right. Let's keep that same silly vibe going. Here are ten more. Your mouth is so dry that when you chew gum, it turns to confetti. Your mouth is so dry that when you drink water, it filed for bankruptcy. Your mouth is so dry that when you kiss the air, it cracks in half. Your mouth is so dry that when you buy an apple, it comes out as apple chips.
01;13;32;24 - 01;13;52;03
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry that when you cough, sand pours out. Your mouth is so dry that when you eat ice cream, it leaves the sprinkles. Your mouth is so dry that when you breathe out, your tongue sighs for rain. Your mouth is so dry that when you talk to plants, they wilt. Your mouth is so dry that when you eat cake, it crumbles into sawdust.
01;13;52;05 - 01;14;00;12
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry that when you snore, it sounds like paper rustling.
01;14;00;14 - 01;14;15;28
Speaker 1
Okay, let's do ones that are. Your mouth is so dry your tongue again.
01;14;16;00 - 01;14;34;07
Speaker 2
Gotcha. Here's a batch with that twist. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue sticks to your teeth like Velcro. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue tries to dig a well. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue squeaks when you swallow. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue dreams of ice cubes at night. Your mouth is so dry.

Speaker 2
Your tongue leaves skid marks on your gum. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue throws in a towel and give up. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue curls up like a deadly. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue cracks like open. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue. Mouth on your cheek. Begging for rain. Your mouth is so dry.
01;14;53;24 - 01;15;01;24
Speaker 2
Your tongue file is a complaint with your lip.
01;15;01;27 - 01;15;13;16
Speaker 1
Okay, I like the one where the tongue leaves skidmarks. I think. Let's let's invoke, the idea of, like, the tongue.
01;15;13;19 - 01;15;19;14
Speaker 2
Haha, yeah. He's got a fun image. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue leaves skid marks on your chat.
01;15;19;15 - 01;15;46;04
Speaker 1
I want you to, give me one. Like, your mouth is so dry. Your tongue, Dada. But, I want you to paint the picture of, like, the tongue even wants to escape the mouth because his mouth is so dry. But I want you to do it in like a silly, animated way.
01;15;46;07 - 01;15;58;14
Speaker 2
All right, here's one with that cartoon vibe. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue packs a tiny suitcase and tries to crawl out just to find a drop of water.
01;15;58;16 - 01;16;14;19
Speaker 1
Okay, I like the I like the image of the the the, The tongue is packing its suitcase. I can you give me more? Can you give me ten more with kind of silly imagery like that?
01;16;14;22 - 01;16;23;15
Speaker 2
Oh, I see you like the idea of the tongue kind of attacking. You play out because it's so desperate. Here's one for that. Your mouth is so dry.
01;16;23;17 - 01;16;50;01
Speaker 1
No, I think you misunderstood me. I like the one about the tongue packing it's suitcase because it can't handle it anymore. That is silly imagery. And that's pretty good. I want you to give me ten more with kind of silly imagery like that.
01;16;50;04 - 01;17;08;23
Speaker 2
Got it. You want more? Like the suitcase? One where the tongue is just dumb and tries to bale in a funny, animated way. Here we go. Your mouth is so dry, your tongue calls a taxi to the nearest water fountain. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue writes a goodbye note and flips out the back. Your mouth is so dry.
01;17;08;26 - 01;17;30;24
Speaker 2
Your tongue ties a bedsheet rope to fling down to a puddle. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue digs the tunnel under your teeth. To reach a river. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue checks real estate listings in a lake. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue puts on hiking boots. Trek to the fridge. Your mouth is so dry, your tongue fires up a kayak and paddles out of your mouth.
01;17;30;27 - 01;17;48;07
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue puts up a poor rent sign and moves out. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue files an eviction notice on your gum. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue mails itself first class to a waterfall.
01;17;48;09 - 01;18;11;17
Speaker 1
Okay, I like it. Your tongue is tying bedsheets together to jump out the jump out of your mouth. And that is checking real estate listings. I also say that it's, looking up an Uber.
01;18;11;20 - 01;18;24;05
Speaker 2
Yeah, those are gold. Here's one more in that same spirit. Your mouth is so dry, your tongue pulls out its phone and orders an Uber to the nearest glass of water.
01;18;24;07 - 01;18;32;06
Speaker 1
Okay. Can you give me ten more?
01;18;32;08 - 01;18;54;28
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Here's ten more with that same cartoon escape. Five. Your mouth is so dry, your tongue hitchhiked to a lemonade stand. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue builds a raft and sails down your chin. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue sneaks out the corner and wave down a passing sprinkler. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue digs a moat around your lip, hoping for rain.
01;18;55;01 - 01;19;15;25
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue tries to bribe your taste buds for directions to water. Your mouth is so dry your tongue buys a plane ticket to the Pacific Ocean. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue signs up for swimming lessons just to daydream. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue sets up a lemonade stand inside your mouth and drinks all the profit.
01;19;15;27 - 01;19;33;15
Speaker 2
Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue sends postcards from the neighbor's dog's water bowl. Your mouth is so dry. Your tongue. Write the diary called. One day I'll be moist again.
01;19;33;17 - 01;19;49;17
Speaker 1
Okay, we're going to have to work on these. But we got a lot. We got some nuggets in there. What? The way I would like to kind of finish out this scene is for the call to kind of wrap up and hide as they can.
01;19;49;23 - 01;20;02;15
Speaker 2
This sounds like you've got a good sense of the nuggets that work. How would you like to wrap this up? What do you want to focus on to finish strong?
01;20;02;17 - 01;20;37;00
Speaker 1
What I would like to do is, as they wrap up, they start talking about how like, oh, you can't you're leaving because you can't handle the heat in the kitchen or whatever. And then and then probably that's how the scene closes. And, and maybe they acknowledge that it went well, even though the guy is kind of, the they don't have the greatest impression of him, but they see that the father goes and like, gotcha.
01;20;37;02 - 01;20;45;22
Speaker 2
So Oscar and Charlie could wrap it up with some playful trash talk, like, you can't truck parts, you can't even handle a warm bridge, let alone the heat in the kitchen.
01;20;45;28 - 01;20;47;19
Speaker 1
What I want to do is I want.
01;20;47;23 - 01;20;59;04
Speaker 2
To acknowledging, well, he did keep that happy for now. So yes, that's one thing. It's like they know the guy's shady, but they're.
01;20;59;07 - 01;21;24;12
Speaker 1
So I want it to end where, they're talking shit. And then he goes and the interview goes well, and then we see this scene, how it is mirroring the scene before it, where the father goes out and talks to the daughter, and they hug and like the daughter, reassures him, he has kind of a little bit of like imposter syndrome where he's like, oh, like, should I take a like.
01;21;24;14 - 01;21;40;05
Speaker 1
And then she's like, you've worked really hard for this. And, scene kind of ends there.
01;21;40;08 - 01;22;02;00
Speaker 2
I see what you're painting. You want this whole moment with Oscar and Charlie to kind of mirror that quiet, more human moment with the father and daughter, right? So after the playful trash talk, the cats settle down, and we cut to the father stepping outside to talk to his daughter. He's still got that flicker of doubt. Like, should I even take this opportunity?
01;22;02;03 - 01;22;17;15
Speaker 2
Do I deserve it? And she gently reassures him, you've worked so hard for this that you should take it that way. We feel that echo of warmth and support, but there's still that subtle tension underneath.
01;22;17;17 - 01;22;47;24
Speaker 1
Okay, that's perfect for now. I really appreciate the help today. Even though we only got an hour of the advanced voice. The standard voice that you operate with works well. It's just the fact that I can't interrupt you really makes it kind of disruptive. Hopefully, that is not, forever thing.
01;22;47;26 - 01;23;07;00
Speaker 2
I hear you, and I really appreciate how clear you've been about what you want. Even with the interruptions and standard voice quirks. You kept it flowing, and the ideas came out fun and vivid. This whole bit with Oscar, Charlie and the fathers moment feels strong. We can always sharpen it more next time.
01;23;07;03 - 01;23;09;00
Speaker 1
Okay. Sounds good. Thanks, Jack.
