One of the strengths of Coppola’s screenplay is that her people and everything they do are believable. Unlike the characters in most movies, they don’t quickly sense they belong together, and they don’t immediately want to be together. Coppola keeps them apart for a noticeably long time. They don’t know they’re the Girl and the Boy. They don’t have a Meet Cute. We grow to know them separately.

“The Big Bore lurks inside us all. It’s dying to be set loose to lecture on Quentin Tarantino or what makes good ice cream. Fight it! Fight the urge to speak without listening, to tell a bad story, to stay inside your comfortable nest of back-patting pals. As you move away from boring, you will never be bored.”
- Scott Simpson
