My complete script

Script

First shot of interview scene

Interviewer: Just tell me what you saw…
[Pause]
Katie: I can’t.
Interviewer: Why not?
Katie: They’ll know… they’ll find me…
Interviewer: They won’t find out…

Second shot of interview scene

Interviewer: Please,
Katie: I can’t… [pause] they know I saw…
Interviewer: You can be the one to put him away for good.
Katie: What about me?
Interviewer: Move away. [pause] And never return.
Katie: Okay but what if…
Interviewer: They won’t find you.

These lines of dialogue are for shots 2 and 4, the interview scene. My interviewer will not be seen, just heard, as the focus will be on Katie.


Third shot from the interview room:

Katie: But I have no where to go...
Interviewer: No family?
Katie: Not that I speak to... wait... 
Interviewer: Yes?
Katie: My cousin... She lives down South... She....
Interviewer: I suggests she picks you up now and you leave.
[Gets up to go]
Katie: Is that it?
Interviewer: I hope so.
