Here's an except...

Here's a small excerpt from my script I'm writing this April. It's about thirty pages so far, and I'm hoping I can reach eighty or more before the 30th.

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - morning
Carl sits at the table as usual. Across from him are Dan, a cop, and Ron, the police chief.

RON
You need to tell us something.

CARL
How can I? I didn't do it,
so I have nothing to tell you.
I don't even know anything!

Ron looks at Dan.

DAN
We should tell him. It might
make him want to talk to us.

Ron turns to Carl.

RON
All right. They've found
something in the crater.

Bones.

And by the way, I know it isn't formatted very well. I copy/pasted it over from Celtx, and all the formatting was automatically removed.

It's a little confusing, I know. That's because this scene takes place on, like, page twenty.

But basically, Carl is accused of murdering people in the town. A large crater then appears later outside the town, and the police suspect that Carl is disposing of his victims in the hole. In this scene, they actually find bones in the crater, so we now are almost completely sure Carl did it.
