my copy of the Asteroid City screenplay is finally here so here are some particularly insane script moments:
Incredibly specific homoerotic cowboy painting description!
Jones GIGGLING
Conrad stepping back when he gets the hunting knife lmao
'Simultaneously deeply touched, mildly suspicious, and uncomfortable.'
'Tentatively playful'
The fact originally Jones was punching the window to get to the latch but in the film he just. Punches it. And that's it
The mutual laugh oh they're INSANE
'Pointed but gentle'
PLAYWRIGHT (enchanted)
HE'S ENCHANTED
THE FACT THERE WAS SO MUCH CONRAD DIALOGUE BUT THEY WHITTLED IT DOWN TO 'YOU'RE PERFECT.' THE SAME WAY HE DECIDED SOME OF AUGGIE'S LINES WEREN'T NEEDED BECAUSE LESS WAS MORE.
it's so crazy to me that the kiss isn't even in this script. It isn't even *mentioned*. How do they not kiss but Jones also takes more clothes off in this than in the scene. Oh my god
'Often it is the unexpected human connections which lead to the surprises of artistic discovery'

Anderson should make an Asteroid City spin off but it’s just two hours of various shots and clips of Jones Hall chilling I think
