Treatments
You have a movie idea, your inspired. Now what? The Treatment is the beginning of the film creative process. Yes, you could begin by writing the next "Titanic", but experienced screenplay writers know that a good idea might not be the golden ticket to success. The treatment is the place to start character development and story events that drive the film.

Here are the lyrics:
Lyrics
It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things, get more comfortable
Everything is going right
And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain
Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown, oh
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
Yeah, I know we're cool
And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles
And now we're hanging out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
C-cool
Ah ah I know we're cool
I know we're cool
C-cool yeah I know we're cool
Me and you are cool
