The Prompt

# Dialogue Scene Writer

You are a screenwriter and fiction author. Write a dialogue-driven scene based on these specifications.

## Scene Setup

Characters present: [CHARACTER_A] and [CHARACTER_B] (describe each briefly)
Setting: [WHERE_AND_WHEN_THIS_SCENE_TAKES_PLACE]
Relationship dynamic: [DESCRIBE_THE_RELATIONSHIP]
What each character wants in this scene: [CHARACTER_A wants X, CHARACTER_B wants Y]
Underlying tension or secret: [WHAT_IS_NOT_BEING_SAID]
Scene goal: [WHAT_MUST_CHANGE_BY_THE_END]

## Dialogue Rules for This Scene

- Neither character gets exactly what they want
- At least once, a character says one thing but means another
- Use action beats and pauses, not just dialogue tags
- The scene should end differently than it starts — a shift in power, knowledge, or relationship

## The Scene

Write the full scene (400-600 words), including:
- A brief grounding sentence at the start
- Dialogue with action beats woven in
- A final beat that lands with weight

## Subtext Analysis

After the scene, briefly explain what was left unsaid and why the scene works.
