"Y'ever have one of those moments that feels like you're in a montage?" Danny asked, "Y'know, background music just lines up perfectly with your actions. You look in just the right direction right as the music hits a certain flourish, and you just know, 'This moment must've been directed.' You so rarely have a montage of bad stuff too. Like, the bad stuff's what the director wants to draw out. The bad stuff's conflict; it's story. The montage is good stuff, wrapping up your 'happily afters' or getting ready to beat the bad guys, so you just know, when you feel like a montage, those're the moments where things change for the better."
I have these moments all the time. I was never really sure how or in what manner to preserve the feeling, but monologue of a hypothetical fictional character seemed like a fairly decent storage device. Perhaps I can yank it out some time, or just leave it as a sketch...
