sylvia on flashbacks

i like this way of showing flashback from Harry Potter movies - "Anyone can examine the memories in the Pensieve, which also allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in the memories stored within ... ." i want the character to stay in the here and now while having the flashback. i hate it when the character, me and the story lose track of the throughline for the sake of a flashback. ah, well - off on another storytelling adventure.

AD Chris to sylvia: "The characters have both become so odd we have no other choice ..."

Okay I like this Sylvia will see what we can do, I told you we would have to do a flash back scene. I think we can make this a really great black comedy, or romanic dark black comedy dramady.  The characters have both become so odd we have no other choice, but to show scenes from their respective past to make them arrive at where they are now. If you have a chance I would like to meet tomorrow, maybe this time I can buy  you breakfast?
