I've killed every kind of vile, black-souled, dead-eyed nightmare that ever made you piss your pjs and cry for mommy in the middle of the night.

The challenge of screenwriting is to say much in little and then take half of that little out and still preserve an effect of leisure and natural movement. ↗
