Hi, I’m Kirk.
And I’m a fucking idiot.
By getting that out-of-the-way, right up front, maybe we can mute the
inevitable “what the hell do you know about anything?” criticism of what
follows.

What the hell do you know about anything?
KIRK
Hey, I’m a fucking idiot.
(whispers)
And I don’t know shit.
(Okay, so maybe I do know shit, but let’s start there as a
baseline.)
And please forgive me for using this format; I’m a reformed
screenwriter, and everything else looks… well, weird to me. (Hey, type
thousands upon thousands of words in a stultifyingly structured format
& see what that does to your head.)
