I've heard it called the "Five & Dime" method...first five and last ten.

Phil, can you remember where you heard that? New to me, but it's a handy way to remember the importance of a script's beginning and ending.

Hmmm...gonna have to do some hard thinking on that. Been meaning to ask you about it, but kept forgetting. Let me get back to you and see if I can dig that up. I think it was a book....

Thanks, Phil. Amazing you managed to dig that out of the recesses of your memories. Wish I had such an ability!
