Script Details:
Zoom in on typewriter as Karen Eiffel types "The phone rang." Penny walks toward the phone to answer the phone. Ms. Eiffel says desperately, "Don't answer that!" She watches the phone carefully as she types, "The phone rang a third time." Zoom in on her finger as she pushes the period key. She runs toward the phone to answer it when it starts ringing again. A crowd of people start walking down the subway tunnel where Harold Crick is talking on the phone to Ms. Eiffel. Camera goes between Harold and Ms. Eiffel as they each talk. Harold knocks on the door of Ms. Eiffels office.
Extra Details:
Ms. Eiffel lifts her eyebrows after she types that Harold dials the phone. Ms. Eiffel points urgently toward the phone with both hands as she says, "Don't answer that!" She makes her "Sh-sh-sh-shh" very short and choppy when the script might have just said "Shh." Penny puts her hands up when Ms. Eiffel tells her not to answer the phone. Ms. Eiffel drops the phone on the floor and waves her hands when she hears that Harold hears a deep and endless ocean when filing papers. She backs away from the phone into the corner of her chair. Harold's shirt is untucked when he walks Ms. Eiffel's office. Ms. Eiffel backs away some when Harold comes in.

I think the casting for the writer could be better. She does seem like a writer, just more boring. I would have liked to see someone being creative and crazy when they start to think that what they're writing is happening. I can see someone like Ellen DeGeneres laughing and typing things about penguins hula-hooping in her office or something. The character could be kept, but I REALLY think she should have typed something obscene to catch the audience's attention. Even though this is a funny movie, you can never have too much! Will Ferrel is awesome. ^__^
