I love scriptwriting/screenwriting.
It's a very different art form...a minimalist place where what is said is merely a bookmark for what is meant. But it can be a hoot....
VADER
(angrily)
The Rebels are alerted to our
presence. Admiral Ozzel came out
of light-speed too close to the
system.
VEERS
He felt surprise was wiser...
VADER
He is as clumsy as he is stupid.
General, prepare your troops for a
surface attack.
VEERS
Yes, my lord.
Veers tuns smartly and leaves as Vader activates a large viewscreen showing the bridge of his mighty ship. Admiral Ozzel appears on the viewscreen, standing slightly in front of Captain Piett.
OZZEL
Lord Vader, the fleet has moved
out of light-speed and we're
preparing to... Aaagh!
VADER
You have failed me for the last
time, Admiral. Captain Piett.
Piett steps forward, as the admiral moves away, slightly confused, touching his throat as it begins to constrict painfully.
PIETT
Yes, my lord.
VADER
Make ready to land our troops beyond
the energy shield and deploy the
fleet so that nothing gets off that
system. You are in command now,
Admiral Piett.
PIETT
Thank you, Lord Vader.
Of course, the dialogue isn't centered like that...but you get the idea.
