"How could you let yourself get this way?"
That would be a great opening line for a western and it were said by a dusty dirty old doc with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth as took the black and red dressing off and old gunshot wound of some desperado.
Nobody really cares about somebody’s check up as a beginning of a script. Maybe later in the story, like in “Thinner”. After the storyline’s been set down, but not in the beginning. Unless it’s the basis for everything. And if it is… Make it interesting.
