Voiceover

Working on the psycopaths monologue. This is the first draft, need to work it over with whoever ends up being the voice of our psycho. Any suggestions?

"You know the old adage, 'it takes 43 muscles to frown but only 17 to smile?' People really ought to smile a lot more. Smiling does a lot for you. A smile releases endorphins & painkillers, like a natural drug. A smile can denote pleasure, amusement, happinness, and a whole array of positive emotions. If you're smiling when you're down, it can cheer you up. It relaxes you, cheers you up, and is so much better for you than any other drug. Now, let's not forget the main one. Smiling can make an ordinary face light up. Make the most mindane of people seem interesting, different, can fascinate you. And for someone like her, smiling really does make you beautiful.I couldn't stop watching her after I saw that smile. The perfect curve of those pink lips in a way she can't hide. Her laughter and beauty are so much more obvious when she smiles.I can't help it if I need her, if I want her. It's really not my fault at all.I just had to see her smile."

Woah, creepy! I reckon you want an educated older bloke (gravelly voice?) - like maybe a professor a la Hannibal Lecter? If he knows about smiles/muscles/anatomy perhaps a professor of anthropology / medicine / biology / sociology?? Either way, try to get an adult...?
