## FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
Please write in proper screenplay format with:
* A brief, vivid scene setting description
* Character names in ALL CAPS before dialogue
* Minimal but effective parenthetical directions
* Brief action descriptions in present tense
* Natural dialogue flow with appropriate pauses, interruptions, or overlaps noted
## DIALOGUE GUIDANCE
* Create distinct voices for each character based on their background and personality
* Include subtext - have characters talk around things rather than stating everything directly
* Avoid exposition dumps or characters explaining things they would already know
* Use conflict, tension, or humor as appropriate for the genre and scene
* Allow for moments of silence or non-verbal communication where powerful
* Ensure dialogue reveals character while advancing the plot
* Focus on authenticity - how real people actually speak (imperfect, with hesitations, interruptions)
The scene should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with some shift or change occurring through the dialogue exchange.
