Deep, Dark, Filmographer's Great Time Abyss of Death

O.K. You have all just witnessed what has become to be known as the "Deep, dark, filmographer's great time abyss of death." All you engineering and random other dumb class majors can complain all you want that we don't do any work, but we do. We just take all the work that needs to be done in an average semester and do it all in about a week. A long, sleepless, unfun week. But anyway, I'm sorry I fell so damn far behind. I'm gonna hustle like a banshee to catch up again (don't know what a hustling banshee does, but I imagine there's a lot of screaming).

This quote comes from sometime around the beginning of the year. Eddie (really tall high jumper guy) was talking about this girl who goes here who suffers from dwarf syndrome, which is where a person has all their limbs and other bodily stuff in proportion to each other, they're just a lot smaller than normal. She stands about a little over two feet. (Note: Eddie is 6'3") Anyway, Eddie was telling us that he saw her the other day going to the library or something.


CUT TO:


INT. MIDDLE OF DINING HALL, UMBC - 1:20 PM

The sound of people chattering and utensils clanging against glasses pervades the room in the background. The camera pans across to reveal the dining hall full of students eating and talking around a grouping of tables. The camera pans passed this one group of tables with a tall man, EDDIE, standing up talking to the rest of the group. The camera fixes on the group and cuts to a tighter shot of the table in the foreground, everything in the background out of focus:

EDDIE
(Quote Of the Day 11/12)
"...but she's so cute! I just want to go up to her and bend down and give her a huge hug! But I know that would probably be the most insulting thing I could do to her. With the possible exception of running up and jumping over her."

Laughter fills the air as the camera pans back across the dining hall. A clumsy student in a pink hat drops his soft ice cream cone onto his left shoe. In trying to catch it, he inadvertently trips a tall blond girl, causing her to spill gravy all over her white dress. She yells and then punches him in the nose.
