input: TEXT: (Capeside High School - Dawson and Joey are walking down the hallway talking.) Joey: Correct me if I'm wrong Dawson, but don't you already own a camera? Dawson: A video camera, yeah. Joey: And the difference is? Dawson: Well, imagine Schindler's List shot on a family camcorder. Alright, I mean, it... video is a great format to learn on, but the look and the feel is strictly amateur. Film is key, and if we can find her we can give it another spin. Joey: "Her"? (They enter a room, not noticing Nikki, who is messing with a film camera.) Dawson: The Aeroflex. Capeside High's one and only 16mm camera. Nikki: She is a beauty, Dawson. Dawson: Nikki! Hey, what are you doing here? Nikki: Extra credit for joining this film class. Plus, I get to be near all the equipment. Dawson: Ah, how very earnest of you. Nikki: Joey, right? Joey: Right. Hey. I heard wonderful things about your film. Nikki: Really? From who? Dawson: Um, speaking of equipment, hand her over. Nikki: Sorry, Dawson, she's checked out. Dawson: That's highly unlikely... Nikki: Yet completely true. Dawson: Well, how long has it been checked out for? Nikki: About seven days. Dawson: Then it's due back today. Nikki: Nope. She's checked out for the next four weeks straight. Dawson: There's a one week maximum. Nikki: I cleared it with Mr Jordan. Dawson: You did. Nikki: Hmm-mmm. Dawson: You checked out the camera? Nikki: Me checked out the camera, yes. Dawson: Well, there's a project I want to start working on. Nikki: There's a project that I AM working on. Dawson: OK. Well then when can I have the camera back, exactly? Nikki: When I'm done. Dawson: And when will that be? Nikki: (rolling the camera out the door) Filmmaking
