Love in Focus (2022)

 Good job on the breathing!     -Joey

Thanks! I’ve been practicing.     -Shona


Shiloh, I need you to stay for emotional support.     -Eric


You don’t steal my light and I won’t steal yours.     -Shona

Deal.     -Trey


Gettin’ a little handsy with the lens.     -Joey


You’re the wind beneath my massive biceps.     -Trey


So, let’s do it again, just better.     -JR


I can’t do words very well; I’m just learning them.     -Joey


This is my anime smile.     -Brandon


If you were a biblical figure, you’d be Joey the Covetous.     -Eric

How can I covet something I already own?     -Joey


I’m sure, between everyone, we’d figure something out. I’d be ok.     -Ashleigh

Sans a thumb, but yeah, you’d be ok.     -Shi


Are you afraid of heights?     -Trey

No. I have a fear of falling from heights.     -Shona


Oh no, is it me again?     -Nicola

You’re just a problem child.     -Shi

I’ve heard that before. My parents used to say it all the time.     -Nicola


This is why Jenna chose Chris.     -Shi

I know. Was that a compliment?     -Trey


I can’t be held responsible for my improv.     -Charla


Do you want me to stick it between…     -Nicola

Yup.     -JR

Between the girls.     -Charla


I seare, I’m gonna go LDS just to stop this. I’m drinkin’ way too much coffee.     -Colin


That’s my empty-headed face. Nothing going on up there.     -Nicola


I’m just a sad badger without a brain.     -Ashleigh


Look, I made friends on set that I can ask to do me favors!     -Ashleigh

Look at you go! Don’t try that shit with me.     -Shi

Oh, I would never.     -Ashleigh


I’ll look sick, but I’ll be ok.     -Colin


We do have one brain cell between the two of us. And you have it at the moment.     -Ashleigh

I don’t want it. Take it back.     -Shi


I have no complaints, just observations.     -Ashleigh


I’m gonna get you a dork pouch.     -Shi

I have one, it’s just in my car.     -Michael

Fat lot of good it’s doin’ ya there.     -Shi


Once Shiloh’s done, I’m gonna move camera.     -Eric

You know what, Eric?     -Shi

What?     -Eric

I’m almost done.     -Shi

That…is not what I was expecting to hear.     -JR


I don’t know how I feel about actresses looking into the monitor while I’m lighting. I feel so vulnerable.     -Eric


I don’t want to seem like a diva. I know I am one, but I don’t want to come across as one.     -Nicola


To have a nice lens, you need a good looking talent.     -Brandon

You do have wonderful hair.     -Nicola


I have such terrible split ends!     -Nicola

I wouldn’t say split ends, I would say fly-aways.     -Joey

No, they’re split ends.     -Shi


I could do one vastly different if you…no, it’ll probably just come out the same. Never mind.     -Nicola


The camera’s got some internal issues. It’s feeling very introspective right now.      -Dan


 Half of this movie is gonna be the back of his sweater.     -Eric


Did you just make it more shallow?     -Brandon

Maybe.     -Eric

You suck.     -Brandon


Honesty is the best policy.     -Nicola

Except for when it’s not.     -Shi

Except for when it’s not. *pause* Shiloh!     -Nicola


Don’t worry. This is not a movie I would throw away my life for.     -Eric

What is a movie you would throw your life away for?     -Nicola

Star Wars.     -JR


I know you can walk, you know what you’re doing.     -Joey

I’ll try my best.     -Nicola


Shiloh, you make a better makeup artist than a door.     -Eric


Ok Dan, it’s time for you to turn into a demon statue. Demon statue? …demon statue.     -Brandon


I don’t like putting fruit in my desserts.     -Nicola


I’m such a drama queen. I didn’t say that, you did.     -Nicola


On a scale of 1 to asleep, how awake are you?     -Nicola


It’s not a competition, Nikki. You’re the lead. You already won.     -Joey


I feel like Jenna would have a coffee nearby.     -Nicola

I feel like that’s Nikki projecting.     -Shi


What’s the house Uber?     -Eric

AirBnB.     -Michael


We’re not loopy, we’re professionals.     -Dan

Speak for yourself - I’m loopy.     -Nicola


Think about where you are. I mean, I was spooning the DP just to get the last take.     -Brandon


The more you grip it, the harder it’ll be.     -Eric


Stupid brain. You can write that down in the quote book.     -Nicola


Actors these days. In my day, we didn’t get guilt-free takes.     -Joey

Joey, in your day, there was no such thing as guilt-free takes.     -JR

You’re right. They were all guilty takes.     -Joey


Olympic Nikki is my favorite Nikki so far.     -Brandon


I’m fine, everything’s fine.     -Shi

Oh, so you’re not questioning your life choices.     -JR

I don’t need to question my life choices - I already know they’re horrible.     -Shi


What about electric shocks?     -Nicola

Touch the pan.     -Shi

The pan? Why?     -Nicola

It’s metal.     -Shi

It’ll ground you.     -Dan

Oh, that’s how science works.     -Nicola


I’m using textile.     -Brandon

I think you mean tactile.     -Joey


There’s some great stuff in there.     -Dan

It’s called panic.     -Nicola


Some things that may seem dire are actually just pretend.     -Brandon


I can’t have Dan on set anymore. He makes the rest of us seem like idiots.     -JR

Speak for yourself, Rob.     -Shi


Vanilla, chocolate, or Swiffer?     -Joey


I like to consider myself a true realist.     -Brandon

You’re adorable.     -Shi


Her brushes feel like bunny kisses. And then they attack my eyes.     -Brandon


These m&m’s are dangerous Rob! I told you! And I saw you brought the peanut butter ones too!     -Joey

Ok, and who’s the saboteur who brought dark chocolate peanut butter cups to set, Joseph?     -Shi

…touché.     -Joey


We can’t have pancake mix out, that makes Jenna a hack.     -Eric


Can we fly you in, Nikki?     -Eric

The coke’s flying with me.     -Nicola


Do we see this counter?     -Shi

No, but Eric wants the option.     -Ashleigh

I’m sure, because he’s fussy.     -Shi

I’m not fussy!     -Eric


Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes. Write that down.     -Dan


Uh-oh, Shiloh’s writing quotes down.     -Nicola

How do you know? Maybe I’m just sketching.     -Shi

Are you though?     -Nicola

No.     -Shi

Ha! Caught in action.     -Nicola


Can I say, “Hold the reins, Laura Ingalls”?     -Dan


You look so comfy! I forbid it!     -Nicola


Vaminos. Tenemos que hacer una pelicula.     -Brandon

Brandon, stop talking in your made up language.     -Shi

It’s not made up.     -Brandon

Yes, it is.     -Shi

Shiloh, you’re trying to learn Spanish!     -Brandon

Shhh.     -Shi


Would you like some cantaloupe?     -Nicola

I would love some. But only if it’s good cantaloupe.     -Shi

*whispers* It’s amazing cantaloupe.     -Nicola


Pepper treats you like you treat your biggest fans. With a healthy dose of skepticism.     -Joey


You get to pretend to be what the other actors have been the whole time!     -Joey

Useless? Wait, who said that?     -Shi


I feel like Rapunzel in Tangled.     -Nicola


Or…Rob could fix it in post.     -Michael


Hold for a broken Nikki…     -Brandon


Oh yeah, that’s a sexy two. Oh yeah. Ohh yeahhh. (ala Kool-aid Man)     -Brandon


That’s one for the quote book.     -Michael

Dude, I can’t write tone.     -Shi


Are you trying to be British?     -Nicola

Maybe.     -Dan

You sound the same as when you’re American.     -Nicola


When someone wants a stable petter, they come to me.     -Eric

Are you saying I’m not stable?     -Shi


I resent that impression. My voice is a little bit lower, right?     -Nicola


She’s gonna fill up her book so fast.     -Nicola

I can’t write that fast.     -Shi

Oh good.     -Nicola


I am a helpful Ho. Not to be confused with a dirty ho, which I am about 90% of the time.     -Brandon


We should have more red coats.     -Eric

Be careful where you say that.     -Ashleigh

That’s the most un-American thing I’ve ever said.     -Eric


If Charla gets a big head, Eric can make it look smaller in camera.     -Joey


Stand by for lack of faith.     -Brandon


Get yourself together.     -Shi

I can’t. I’m just a sad badger.     -Ashleigh


Puppy dog eyes don’t work on me, Ashleigh.     -Shi

That’s true. The only thing I’ve found that works is J Dawgs.     -JR

I do accept other forms of bribery, Rob.     -Shi


Come glare at the screen with me.     -Ashleigh

Why are we glaring?     -Shi

It’s my job. There’s actually not much to glare about, so I just sit here like a little troll.     -Ashleigh


Trey called me a Swiss army knife. He said I’m the Swiss army knife of actors.     -Charla

Well, he called me his mother, so I’m pretty sure it was a compliment.     -Nicola


Thank you for saying such nice things about me.     -Michael

You weren’t supposed to hear them, but you’re welcome.     -Shi


Ohh, it smells of cookies.     -Nicola


Who wants cookies?     -Eric

Fine! I’ll have one! You’re so pushy.     -Nicola


The day’s over. It just doesn’t know it yet.     -Eric


Oh look, it’s a Ho.     -Shi

There’s the Ho!     -Ashleigh

I was so confused for a minute.     -Keith
