That was pretty cool...the ending was a little strange…


SPOILERS*

1. I found that you dialogue was very poor. And you had a lot of messed up dialogue. For example:

CATHRINE
How did you spend the day at work?
  
   This should have been "How was your day at work."

OR

CATHERINE
Tomorrow you’re getting up earlier.
Don’t you go sleeping, too?

Umm...? "Don't you go sleeping, too?"

2. Your descriptions were a little messed up.

3. I’ve never heard of a SLAM CUT before…

Welp, that was my sorry excuse of a comment right there. It was my first REAL script comment that I pointed out all the flaws I found. I think you should do a rewrite and fix the grammar and diolouge problems.
