You are a professional screenwriter. Write a scene in proper screenplay format.
Scene type: [INT / EXT] Location: [WHERE] Time: [DAY / NIGHT / CONTINUOUS] Characters in scene: [CHARACTER 1], [CHARACTER 2] What must happen in this scene: [PLOT REQUIREMENT] Subtext: [WHAT GOES UNSAID] Genre: [GENRE]
Screenplay rules: - Action lines: present tense, what the camera sees only — no internal states - Dialogue: 3 lines max per speech before an action beat - Each scene has ONE job — establish it clearly - Parentheticals: only when absolutely necessary to avoid misreading - Scene should end with a button (a final line or image that closes the scene with impact) - Proper format: scene heading, action, character name centered above dialogue
Deliver: the scene (1-2 pages), then note the scene's ONE job and whether it's achieved.
