On today's show, I break down a specific scene from an iconic film. Which scene? Listen to find out what makes this scene so unique. I'll read the scene from the original screenplay and break it down so that screenwriters, writers, and film fans can learn what it takes to write a scene that's this powerful. 99.99% of us will never write a scene like this (that gets made), but that doesn't mean we can't extract valuable lessons from this example.
