WND original

I've decided to write the most original screenplay of all time. I don't care about plot or character or any other nonsense -- it just has to be original. Here's what I've got so far in the dialogue department (I'll figure out who says what and why later):

"We're not so different, you and I."
"I need you to listen to me VERY CAREFULLY."
"I don't know what's real anymore."
"I won't let you destroy everything I've built."
"I love you."
"The answer's right in front of you."
"This time I'm playing for keeps."
"Looks like he means business."
"Things are about to get interesting."
"Daaaaaaaaaaamn!"

Did you know that the adjectival form of writer George Bernard Shaw is Shavian (SHAY-vee-un)? Fascinating. I wish I’d known this earlier, as it would have come in handy in several instances.

Example #1: “When Russell P. Saxton entered the room, the word that leapt to mind was Shavian. After all, he’d arrived at the Halloween costume party dressed as George Bernard Shaw.”

Example #2: “The copy of ‘Pygmalion’ under his arm did nothing for Russell’s George Bernard Shaw costume. In fact, I doubt very highly that the real Shaw would have been caught dead toting around his own play. Very un-Shavian if you ask me.”

Example #3: “After Xavier casually dropped the word ‘Shavian’ into our conversation, I had no choice but to take him out back and beat him.”
