I'll show you how any stupid kid can write a proffesional screenplay without
any knowledge, schooling, books, screenplay software, and get pass the channels.

All you have to do is "cut and paste".

You go online and 'look at' all the
'unedited' screenplays:

http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Scarfacefinal.PDF

http://www.simplyscripts.com/year/
http://www.script-o-rama.com/snazzy/table.html

Once you collected a few...

you simply cut and paste
your own dialogue
to the scripts you find online.

Example:

http://www.aellea.com/script/salt.txt
https://www.kokos.cz/bradkoun/movies/savingprivateryan.txt
http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Scarfacefinal.PDF


Now, go out there and make "Contact 2".
