Most brilliant scene (spoilers)
When malkovich meets China in the store and she said he talks too much, he gives her this speech about how it's his first stanza and when it's her turn to talk she won't be able to keep up.
Then at the end of the movie when malkovich just sits there silently while she awkwardly talks... He was absolutely right.
My friend actually noticed the connection between the two scenes. I would've missed it.
Great writing.
