Muriel: How long have you been writing this blog of dialogues?
Ernest: Coming up twelve years.
Muriel: And they’re short movie scenes. So why don’t you film them? Give those dialogues the TikTok treatment? Videos.
Ernest: I'm more of a wordsmith than a camera guy. I'm not a Spielberg.
Muriel: You don't need to be Spielberg. All you need is some amateur actors, your smartphone, and hit record.
Ernest: What if it's a total flop? What if people don't get it?
Muriel: Oh, come on, Misery! You won't know unless you try. Maybe you'll charm a whole new crowd. And anyway, perfection is overrated. Just let the internet do its thing.
