You can trust a Neil Simon script. Every dot. Every dash; that pause means something. He takes all the jokes out, practically.
“I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.”
“I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time.”
