Berry read the script and immediately called her manager to say she would do it. As she recalls, "He said, 'Well, there's a small problem. They don't want you.' Then the fight began." Berry met with director Marc Forster, and, she says, "I just wore him down. I shared with him some moments in my life. Some were personal moments of heartbreak, hard knocks.

One thinks of the great opening line of that great novel The Good Soldier: "This is the saddest story I have ever heard." Like many such tales, this one is worth taking to your aching heart...
...offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks—we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page—single bluebook finals look like less work to grade and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome and is probably worth a good extra five points if you can hack...
