DIANNE: What’s that called when they run around in a movie and live life to the hilt while the music plays?
ADAM: A montage.
DIANNE: That’s it. They’re both in this montage where time passes and music plays. They have kids. One second, the kids are tiny. The next, they’re old enough to go shopping by themselves. The next, they’re leaving home to start a montage of their own. . . . They’re happy. They smile. Time passes. Music plays. Its worse than murder.
