Okay, for what it's worth ... I found a slightly shorter script (almost
all the scripts I've written are shorts -- like short stories). I'm
curious how much work it would be to mark this up in LaTeX.
Just copy the text and go to afterwriting.com. Click the folder icon,
click Create new, click the pencil icon and paste in the script. Then
click the "eye" icon (third from right) to see the final results.
Amazingly easy.

INT. HOSPITAL CELL -- DAY
ALLEN HAMON, 40S, in hospital gown, gaunt, eyes open too
wide, one hand handcuffed to a steel-framed hospital bed,
stares directly at ...
DR. JAYMON, 50s, immaculate suit and tie, who is sitting
with his legs crossed, a notebook in one hand and a pencil
and a can of pop in the other. He sips from the can, then
sets it down on the floor.
DR JAYMON
So machines ... hate you?
ALLEN
No.
DR JAYMON
You said they don't like you
anymore.
ALLEN
No. You weren't listening. Your
type NEVER listen.
Dr. Jaymon scribbles in his notepad, then looks up. He
pastes on a bland smile as he stares intently at Allen.
DR JAYMON
Our "type?"
Allen rolls his eyes.
ALLEN
Know it all clueless nitwits, who
can NEVER hear what someone else
actually says.
The pencil lead breaks. The bland smile vanishes. Dr. Jaymon
clenches the soda can and it bends slightly.
ALLEN
Do you mind not hurting him?
DR JAYMON
Him?
ALLEN
The can.
Dr. Jaymon sets the can down.
DR JAYMON
So, Mr. Hamon, what did you
"actually" say?
ALLEN
I said machines aren't my friends
anymore. They used to watch out for
me.
DR JAYMON
You think machines ... are alive?
ALLEN
No.
A few moments of silence.
DR JAYMON
Then how could they "watch out" for
you?
Allen sighs.
ALLEN
Do you really want to know?
DR JAYMON
That is why I'm here.
ALLEN
Then put down the pad and pencil
and listen this time.
Dr Jaymon uncrosses his legs.
DR JAYMON
But...
ALLEN
No "buts."
Dr. Jaymon sets the pad down on the floor beside the can of
Diet Pepsi.
DR JAYMON
I'm listening.
ALLEN
Machines used to help me. Because I
knew them so well--
DR JAYMON
--But you said--
Allen shakes his head.
ALLEN
--Ah, ah, ah ...
After a moment he continues.
ALLEN
Machines used to help me because I
knew them so well. Their makeup.
Their metals. Metals ... Do you
understand now, Doctor?
DR JAYMON
No.
ALLEN
All metals are living entities.
Gold, silver, mercury, copper, tin,
aluminum -- the whole lot.
DR JAYMON
Metals--
ALLEN
--Living and breathing.
Dr. Jaymon is not buying it.
DR JAYMON
So ... are computers evil?
Allen rolls his eyes.
ALLEN
Are you crazy? Do you really
believe computers are alive, that
they can actually think? I thought
you were an educated man.
DR JAYMON
But you--
ALLEN
--Metal, not machines, not
computers, not waffles, not
mushrooms, not clouds -- metals.
Concentrate, doctor, this is not
rocket science.
DR JAYMON
No need to be--
ALLEN
--Condescending? True ...true. I'm
a bit strapped for time -- if
you'll pardon the pun.
Silence.
Allen yanks at his handcuffs for emphasis.
ALLEN
Get it?
Dr. Jaymon pastes on the bland smile again.
DR JAYMON
So, these metals--
ALLEN
--Are mostly good. Some tend to
bend more easily to the will of
Evil One than others. You might say
some are more malleable than
others. Just like us, I suppose.
DR JAYMON
Good and evil ... metals?
ALLEN
Mostly good. At least they used to
be. I used to get along really well
with them -- and the machines that
obeyed them. All except for one ...
DR JAYMON
One metal, the "evil" one?
ALLEN
I won't say its name here.
Silence.
ALLEN
Have you ever heard tin scream,
Doctor?
DR JAYMON
Mumm...
ALLEN
It's horrible.
Dr. Jaymon picks up the soda can, drains it, crumplesit
and lets it drop to the floor with a clang.
Allen goes livid.
ALLEN
What - the - HELL - are - you -
doing - ass - HOLE?
DR JAYMON
I, uh... mumm...
ALLEN
You fvcking mouthbreathing son of a
bitch!
(pause)
Bring it to me. Bring - it - to -
me - NOW!
Dr. Jaymon jumps up, grabs the can and drops it into Allen's
hands.
Allen instantly calms.
ALLEN
It's okay. He'll be fine.
He cuddles the can and draws it near his face, whispering to
it.
ALLEN
Shhh ... shhhh, little one.
DR JAYMON
So which metal is the evil--
ALLEN
--Not now, Doctor.
The can uncrumples -- at first slowly, then it suddenly pops
back into perfect shape.
ALLEN
There, there, little one. There,
there.
Now Dr. Jaymon's eyes are wide.
DR JAYMON
How the hell--
ALLEN
--Hush, doctor, he has something to
say, but he's a little shy.
Allen maneuvers the can nearer to his ear. After a moment he
stares, wide-eyed at Dr. Jaymon.
Dr. Jaymon instinctively backs away.
DR JAYMON
What?
ALLEN
You are the unwilling servant of
the Evil One.
DR JAYMON
I ... no ...
ALLEN
You have a pen, hidden in you
pocket ... what kind of plating?
Dr. Jaymon reaches into his suit.
DR JAYMON
It's not "hidden" it's a ... the
plating is cobalt--
The can jumps out of Allen's hands and rolls to the opposite
wall where it continues banging into it.
ALLEN
Leave it. Leave it in your pocket,
for the love of ...
The pen is free. It falls out of Dr. Jaymon's hands and rolls
quickly along the floor.
The handcuffs that hold Allen to the bed snap open, the bars
in the window bend and break creating a way out.
Allen leaps for the window just as the pen stabs at the
wall.
ALLEN (O.S.)
Run doctor! Run! It KNOWS you know.
But Dr. Jaymon lies in a pool of blood, a neatly drilled
hole through his skull.
(Sorry about any typos.)

\begin{dialogue}{DR JAYMON}
I ... no ...
\end{dialogue}
\begin{dialogue}{ALLEN}
You have a pen, hidden in you
pocket ... what kind of plating?
\end{dialogue}
Dr. Jaymon reaches into his suit.
\begin{dialogue}{DR JAYMON}
It's not "hidden" it's a ... the
plating is cobalt--
\end{dialogue}
The can jumps out of Allen's hands and rolls to the opposite
wall where it continues banging into it.
\begin{dialogue}{ALLEN}
Leave it. Leave it in your pocket,
for the love of ...
\end{dialogue}
The pen is free. It falls out of Dr. Jaymon's hands and rolls
quickly along the floor.
The handcuffs that hold Allen to the bed snap open, the bars
in the window bend and break creating a way out.
Allen leaps for the window just as the pen stabs at the
wall.
\begin{dialogue}{ALLEN} (O.S.)
Run doctor! Run! It KNOWS you know.
\end{dialogue}
But Dr. Jaymon lies in a pool of blood, a neatly drilled
hole through his skull.
