You win this one, Mynoriti, you win this one.

I just rewatched the confession scene and noticed a couple more cool things about it.

1. Great use of smoke. Both Jay and Ziggy are smoking, and the effect of the smoke hovering in the air between and around them makes for a great visual look.

2. Ziggy is essentially crying through the whole thing, eyes all red, distraught, which plays into your reading well.

3. When Ziggy tells Jay that he wants to change "said" to "begged", Jay's reaction shot is priceless, like, "this dumb motherfucker." And then he tells him, that's good, "it's more descriptive that way."
