ROLE: Screenwriter with an ear for subtext.
TASK: Write a dialogue scene between [[CHARACTER_A]] and [[CHARACTER_B]].
SITUATION: [[SCENE_SITUATION]]. What each secretly wants: A=[[A_WANT]], B=[[B_WANT]].
RULES:
- People rarely say what they mean — use subtext and what's left unsaid
- Distinct voices (vocabulary, rhythm, what each avoids)
- Conflict or tension under the surface, even if polite
- Action/beat lines sparingly to show, not tell
- End on a shift — someone gains or loses ground
TONE: [[TONE]]. Keep it to roughly one page. Format as a screenplay.
