If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day-thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions.

Dead Poets Society is a 1989 American drama film directed by Peter Weir and written by Tom Schulman. The food descriptions alone make me wanderlustful for a trip to Hong Kong: ‘huai shan and wolf berry seed soup, yellow cucumber salad, beancurd dumplings and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves’. For example, a scene is set when they ‘walked to the LockCha Tea House, passing fountains and manicured hedges in Hong Kong park’ so we can imagine the greenery-relief in the chaotic metropolitan. Through meeting places and food, we are reminded that we are in busy and humid Hong Kong. I love how subtle the setting is to the story.

Clarke's novel as well, though I'm not sure if the latter is due to Kirby's own artistic license or if those portions were part of that previous version of the script. It incorporates elements from an earlier draft of the screenplay, and does use some facets of Arthur C. Still, I would've loved to have owned this as a kid after having been awed-yet-utterly baffled by the movie, as it does lay everything out in a much more straightforward way.
