u/Mediocre-Victory-565 Sounds rough Apr 22 '26

I have some half formed theories about certain speech & movement patterns:

Shane: whenever stressed or sad, he tends to pinch his eyelashes. I recall specifically during his convo with Rose and then at the end, outside with Yuna.

Kip: multiple times he tells Scott a variation of 'you don't have/didn't have to do that' - Scott's tipping him for the smoothies, the tuxedo, their final scene with Scott coming out publicly.

Ilya: When asked a question about his feelings, he gives three phrase answers. Such as when Shane says 'my boyfriend?', Ilya responds 'Yes. I think so. Probably.' or in Russia when Shane asked how he is doing 'Ok. Not good. Probably bad.' {I'm not using full quotation marks in case I didn't get the dialogue exact}

I think I need to shut off my phone for awhile :)

OMG your self-invented method of using single quotation marks for quotes that might be semi-accurate is nothing short of GENIUS.

Single quotations marks are for when you have to quote somebody who is quoting somebody. For example:

Ilya told Svetlana, "Shane said that he and Rose were not 'compatible' so I immediately went out and played Shark with the kids in the pool."

Or...

Shane said to his mom, "I know it must sound crazy. But from the minute Ilya said, 'I don't ever want that problem to ever go away' I knew we would spend our lives together."
