Shallow Grave

Part 13 : The Final Confrontation (Part I)

Before Watching:

Read the following extract from an interview with the producer, Andrew McDonald, and answer the questions which follow it...

"There are only about twenty cinema films made in the UK each year," he says, "so, if you make one that's an achievement in itself. In Scotland, "Shallow Grave" will be the only cinema film made in 1993, which puts a lot of pressure on us. Our predecessors are American independent films, that style of storytelling, but it's like old Hollywood too - something that's well-crafted. This is a young, hip, funny, contemporary Scottish thriller - slightly raw, slightly shocking - which will, hopefully, make you laugh in some of the wrong places."

Questions :

What impression does Andrew McDonald hope the film makes on people?
Think of words that mean the same as the underlined ones.

While Watching:

Add the following phrases in the correct place of the dialogue :

So I gathered	Good times, bad times
Sorry to be ducking out on you like this	I wouldn't want things to end on a downer
Old habits die hard	It's probably for the best	I'll forward your mail

Juliet :You forgot to wake me
Juliet : So let's go.
David :You and me?
Juliet : Together.
David :Hey, alex, who are you calling at this time of night? Come on out and talk to us.
David : well? Sex lines? Is that it? Triple X-rated interactive fantasy?
Alex : I was phoning your mother.
David : You old devil. Well, anyway, as you can see, we're leaving.
David : Yeah, I'm sorry.
Alex : It's all right
David : No, really, I am sorry. I hope you won't take it personally.
Alex : Oh, no,no,no. Don't let it worry you.
David : Exactly.
Alex : Not at all.
David: I mean, we've had our ups and downs,right?
Alex : Yeah.
David : But more laughter than tears, I think? Yes. On balance? We could talk all night but we have to go. Don't we, Juliet?
Juliet : Yes
David :And you need your sleep.
Alex :Yes.
David :No, can't think of anything else that matters.
Alex :About the mail -
David :It's very kind of you to offer, but -
Alex : Where do you think you'll go?
