INT. FORTRESS MAMEA – NIGHT

WRITER

(on phone)

How’s your script going?

NEOPHYTE

(V.O.; filter)

Finished.

WRITER

That’s great.

NEOPHYTE

Yep. I’ve got about twenty pages of character descriptions – I swear you’ll read the character bios and either fall in love or break down crying – and I’ve got the soundtrack, too. It’s a playlist on my iPod –

WRITER

What about the script?

NEOPHYTE

It’s all in my head –

(off Writer’s silence)

Ah-hah! I know what you’re thinking. OF COURSE I’ve got a script –

WRITER

Phew –

NEOPHYTE

Yeah, it’s sixty pages long. It’s got EVERYTHING. Actually it’s more of a treatment than a script ’cause there’s no dialogue. But dialogue’s easy.

WRITER

Easy –

NEOPHYTE

Yeah. When the time comes, I’ll just go to the scene and then pffft – BAM! That’s how easy dialogue is.
