   Kind note: that is a whole movie in one line. Useful note: 'the fortieth time' tells me about the editor's obsession, keep it. See you all next week.

   INT. EDITING SUITE - NIGHT. On the monitor, the same wedding video plays for the fortieth time. In the back row of guests, a woman nobody invited is closer to the camera than before.

    That is a page one. Clear image, a rule, a threat. Kind note: gorgeous. Useful note: 'on the third pass' could go, let the reader count.
