I just watched an interview with Quentin Tarantino, who offered up his top 10 tips for screenwriters.
One really struck me!
I think it was tip #9: Force your characters to make moral decisions.
That one really has my head spinning as being something I/we need to do.
Lou already has two moral decisions to make: first, to gamble on baseball or not, then to whether or not to accept Don’s offer.
Neither Brad nor Jayne have any moral decisions yet…
Sneaky Pete would be a natural for this as he is the go-between the Warden and Don Dykstra.
I think it generally takes one character to give the other character this moral decision.
Any ideas?
