BUILDING CHARACTERS, DIALOGUE, STORYTELLING

Two men hear the sound of a scared kitten coming from a pit. One of them is a guy who didn’t finish primary school and went to work age 12. He is wearing a dirty workers suit, a white helmet and has a shovel with him. The other guy is wearing a navy pinstripe suit, white shirt, and tie. He is carrying a leather laptop bag and an umbrella.

Write down what they are saying to each other while they are trying to save the kitten. Are they using the things they have with them? Don’t use any descriptions. Only write what’s being said.
