The following is a scene from the script I recently finished, The Ghosts of Centennial Hall. The full script is on the scripts page under the ::writing:: section. It really needs some revising and editing, but if you have time, read it and tell me what you think.
Scene 11: A dark corner of the library, minutes later
The Library Gypsy looks on the shelf in the background while Ellen and Greg talk in the foreground.
Greg
This is stupid. We're looking up demons in the library?
Ellen
This is the best way to do research. Weren't you paying attention during your campus tour?
Greg
Do you really think we're going to find anything?
Library Gypsy
Having found some books. I think this is what you’re looking for. She produces a huge, dusty old tome. She blows the dust off of it.
Ellen
What is it?
Greg
The Necronomicon?
Library Gypsy
No.
Ellen
A book of ancient evil demons?
Library Gypsy
No.
Greg
The Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monstrous Manual?
Library Gypsy
No, no, no! It’s uh . . . . It’s just War and Peace. But it was really old and dusty and kind of creepy looking, no?
Greg
Impressive.
Library Gypsy
Yes, and I also found these. She holds out several smaller books with colorful dust jackets.
Ellen
What are those about?
Library Gypsy
Let’s see, we’ve got Creepy Ghosts and Such, Demons for Dummies, and The Begginners Guide to Big Friggin’ Monsters.
Greg
Good.
Ellen
This will do just fine.
