Elaine: Oh, what didn't you like about the first chapter?
J. Peterman: Well, it started out nicely. "I'm returning some pants." A very identifiable problem... "I set off down a train tunnel.". But that's where the story takes a most unappealing turn.
Elaine: Oh, no, no. That's where it gets interesting! Don't you see? The- The train is bearing down on you... You dive into a side tunnel and you run into a whole band of underground tunnel dwellers!
J. Peterman: It just seems so cliched, and obvious. It's not interesting writing.
Elaine: Yeah, yeah, I know. Um, how about if, instead of diving from the train, you... Uh, you, I don't know, you slip and, and fall in some mud, and ruin your pants?
J. Peterman: The very pants I was returning. That's perfect irony! Elaine, that is interesting writing!
