Summary: 

A wannabe film-maker Alan (Colin Firth) who can only relate to the world through the lens of a camera. Unable to separate art from life he tries to control his existence by organising a series of "spontaneous" events around him, and somehow draws Chirsty (Catherine Zeta-Jones) into his web of silliness.

Most of the play takes place in a studio which is also Alan's flat.

	Colin Firth & Catherine Zeta Jones

(TV Movie)

Favorite Quotes:

In the rowing boat:

CHRISTY: Move your tongue.

ALAN: (After kiss) What was that for?

CHIRSTY It's best.

On the island:

CHIRSTY: "I can do magic. I can blow out the moon! Watch! "

Island seduction scene (shades of Valmont):

ALAN: You know, we could do anything we ever wanted here. Our own little island. Anything. We could take off our clothes and lie in the rain. We could listen to the sound of the leaves, moonbathing in the quiet dark. Warm foggy blanket. And your eyes will be like cobwebs after a shower. And your breath will be as soft as one o'clock on a dandelion clock.

CHIRSTY: What was that noise?

ALAN: It was just the ducks talking to themselves under their wings in their sleep.

CHIRSTY: No, really.

ALAN: I dunno. It's - something somewhere. Maybe an animal. You really are afraid of the dark, aren't you.

CHIRSTY: Hold my hand. It's best.

ALAN: You know Chirsty, I just want you to know that I think it's a real thing happening here, you and me. That it's not just - that I really respect you.

CHIRSTY: Stop talking.

Two mouse scenes:

(1) ALAN: Let me through, I speak fluent mouse.

(2) Alan is trying to speak to Chirsty on the phone, while the white mouse runs over his neck and shoulder:

ALAN: Tell her if I don't here from her the mouse gets it. She can expect a tail in the post.

[Hangs up. To mouse.] I didn't mean it. Go on, say it. Do I have to screw up every chance I get? Hmmm?
