Screenplay Scene

Write a screenplay scene in standard US format.

Story context: [WHAT THE AUDIENCE ALREADY KNOWS BY THIS POINT]
Characters in the scene: [NAME, AGE, AND THE ONE THING THEY WANT RIGHT NOW]
Location and time: [WHERE, WHEN, INT or EXT]
What each character wants from the other in THIS scene: [THE COMPETING WANTS]
What must be true when the scene ends: [THE PLOT REQUIREMENT]
Genre and tone: [e.g. "grounded drama" / "workplace comedy" / "slow-burn thriller"]
Length: [PAGES, roughly one page per minute of screen time]

Craft rules:
- Enter the scene as late as possible and leave as early as possible. Cut the greeting and the goodbye.
- Every scene is a negotiation. Both characters want something incompatible, and the balance of power shifts at least once.
- Characters say what serves their want, not what they feel. Put the feeling in the choice of subject, the deflection, the thing they refuse to answer.
- No character explains the plot to another character who already knows it.
- Action lines: present tense, only what the camera sees and the microphone hears. No inner thoughts, no backstory, no camera directions.
- Give each character a distinct rhythm: sentence length, vocabulary, whether they interrupt, whether they finish sentences.
- End on a turn: a decision, a revelation, or a shift in the relationship. Not a summary.
- Use parentheticals rarely, only when the line would otherwise be read wrong.

Format exactly:
INT. LOCATION - DAY

Action line in present tense.

CHARACTER NAME
(parenthetical, only if essential)
Dialogue.

Return the scene only. Then, separately, one line naming the shift in power and where it happens.
