INT. Interior Home, 1992, Night

Clay & Mary are heard arguing loudly about Clay being a deadbeat drunk as Nathan is seen in front of the tv watching Friday the 13th.

Clay
I'm the one that puts the food on the fuckin' table, aren't I? Didn't I always provide for you two? Haven't I always given you everything you've wanted? What more do you want from me?

Mary
You've been unemployed for 2 MONTHS now Clay! 2 MONTHS!!! You aren't even LOOKING for jobs anymore!


Well... that's how John Carpenter and Wes craven and all of the scripts are written. Just a suggestion. It IS easier to read it like that, but if you want it to have good formatting, do it like I said.
Thanks. Like I said (and you mentioned) it's just a rough draft and you actually pointed the only reason I wrote in the format I did. It's just easier for people to look at & read this way, but yes, after the dozen or so revisions and the rest of the story, it will end up in the proper format. Thanks though.
