Dialogue Optimization for Screenplays

# Screenplay Dialogue Optimization

Help me optimize the dialogue in my screenplay [SCREENPLAY_TITLE], a [GENRE] script.

## The Scene
Paste the scene you want to improve below:

[SCENE_TEXT]

## Character Context
- **Character A:** [CHARACTER_A_NAME] — [BRIEF_DESCRIPTION, motivation, voice]
- **Character B:** [CHARACTER_B_NAME] — [BRIEF_DESCRIPTION, motivation, voice]
- **Scene goal:** What must happen emotionally/plot-wise by the end of this scene: [SCENE_GOAL]

## Optimization Goals

### 1. Subtext Analysis
Identify where characters are saying one thing but meaning another. Flag any lines where the subtext is too on-the-nose and rewrite them to show rather than tell.

### 2. Voice Differentiation
Ensure each character speaks in a distinct, recognizable voice. Rewrite any lines that sound interchangeable.

### 3. Pacing & Rhythm
Trim any overlong speeches. Apply the rule that each line of dialogue should either reveal character, advance plot, or do both — cut any that do neither.

### 4. Action Lines Integration
Suggest 2–3 action lines (beats) that can be inserted to break up dialogue and add physical dimension to the scene.

### 5. Final Polished Draft
Rewrite the entire scene with all improvements applied, formatted in correct screenplay format.

### 6. Notes for the Writer
Provide 3–5 craft notes the writer should keep in mind for the rest of the script based on patterns observed in this scene.
