PAT Really?


RONNIE
Yeah, but you know what? No
disrespect, it’s not personal, but this is the time to strike.

RONNIE (CONT'D)
You start snapping up commercial
real estate -- cheap -- flip it over, you flip it over and that’s when you make the money. But the pressure...it’s like....
RONNIE GLANCES, LOOKING FOR VERONICA.













PAT You okay?
RONNIE (whispering)
I’m not okay. Don’t tell anybody. Listen to me. I feel like I’m getting crushed and--
PAT (whispering) Crushed by what?
RONNIE (whispering)
Everything. The family, the baby, the job, the fucking dicks at work, and it’s like, you know, like I’m trying to do this, (Ronnie reaches for his throat, mimicking trying to breath) you know, and, and, and I’m like...suffocating.
RONNIE COVERS HIS FACE WITH ONE HAND.
PAT Holy shit.
RONNIE
You can’t be happy all the time.
PAT
Who told you you can’t be happy?
RONNIE
It’s all right. You just do your
best, you have no choice.
PAT
That’s not true at all.
RONNIE You just can’t.
PAT
Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!


THE DOORBELL RINGS.

RONNIE
I hope you’re okay with Veronica’s
sister coming over. You okay with that?
PAT Who?
RONNIE Veronica’s sister.
PAT AND RONNIE (in unison)
Tiffany.
PAT Tiffany and...Tommy?
RONNIE Yeah. Just Tiffany.
PAT
What happened to Tommy?
RONNIE He died.
PAT Tommy died?
RONNIE Cops die.
PAT How’d he die?
RONNIE
Please, don’t bring it up.
PAT
No, how did he die?

TIFFANY How did who die?
PAT LOOKS UP TO SEE VERONICA’S SISTER TIFFANY ENTER: THEY LOCK EYES IMMEDIATELY. SHE IS TALL, STRIKING, INTENSE. She walks to Ronnie and Pat, who is unsure how to behave.

--> ihre Hand und Ronnys Hand winken Pat, der wie versteinert, verzaubert stehen bleibt

RONNIE
Hey, Tiffany! This is Pat. Pat, my
sister-in-law Tiffany.
PAT You look nice.
TIFFANY Thank you.
PAT
I’m not flirting with you.
TIFFANY
Oh, I didn’t think you were.
PAT
I just see that you made an effort
and I’m gonna be better with my wife, I’m working on that. I wanna acknowledge her beauty. I never used to do that. I do that now. ‘Cause we’re gonna be better than ever...Nikki. Just practicing. How’d Tommy die?
TIFFANY IS STUNNED. RONNIE CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT PAT JUST SAID.
PAT (CONT’D) What about your job?
TIFFANY
I just got fired, actually.
PAT Oh, really? How?
PAT (CONT’D)
I mean, I’m sorry. How’d that
happen?
TIFFANY Does it really matter?









TIFFANY AND PAT FACE EACH OTHER. VERONICA ENTERS IN BG., VISIBLE THROUGH A PASS-THROUGH WINDOW INTO THE KITCHEN.
VERONICA Baby, how’s it going?
RONNIE Great, great.
VERONICA
Everyone having fun? We’re gonna go
on a tour now. We’re gonna go on a tour now.











































































































































TIFFANY (to Pat)
Let’s go see the house.
RONNIE
Come on, let’s go for the tour.
41.

VERONICA (O.S.) I’ve, I’ve been planning this
forever. I love our house. I love our house. I’m really excited about it.
Tiffany looks back over her shoulder at Pat, intensely.
RONNIE (motions to Pat)
Come on.

Silverlinings: David o Russel mit Bradley Cooper und Jennifer Lawrence
Das ist der Moment der ersten Begegnung zwischen Pat und Tiffany, die später ein Liebespaar werden. Die Auflösung ist simpel, aber sehr effektiv. Sie zeigt, wie Pat, wieder Willen, von Tiffany angezogen wird. Er scannt ihren Körper und Details wie den Nagellack. Ein sehr unhöflicher Blick, aber das passt zu seinem direkten, wahrheitssuchendem Charakter.
Pat will sich auf keinen Fall verlieben. Er will seine Exfrau zurückgewinnen. Diese Szene zeigt uns aber, das er im Prinzip vom ersten Moment der Begegnung an verloren ist und sich in Tiffany verlieben wird. Ohne das selbst zu merken.
