در فصل گرما پنجره اتاق خواب من، که به سمت حیاط باز می شد، تقریبا در بهترین جای ساختمان قرار داشت. پنجره پرده نداشت، بنابراین مجبور بودم چراغ را خاموش بگذارم، در غیر این صورت دچار حمله انواع حشرات می شدم. از آنجا که به تحرک و فعالیت زیاد عادت داشتم، نمی توانستم بخوابم. هرگز هم عادت نداشتم برای فرار از بی حوصلگی کتاب بخوانم. پس به این سرگرمی هم نمی توانستم رو کنم. بنابراین چه باید می کردم؟ سرجایم می نشستم و چشمهایم
... را محکم می بستم ؟

movie's good, screenplays a little hard to understand but that might be a me problem.

If only we still had screenplays this good that didn't depend on McKee's stifled influence on much of popular modern cinema.

This is an excellent story, complete with twists.

I also read the short story this script was based on. The script was a bit better.

This was so much fun to read. I haven't seen the movie in years, so I was really looking at it with fresh eyes. This has to be one of the best screenplays ever written. It's well written, insightful, and full of suspense.

If you are looking for a good screenplay, check this out. But don't use it as a template to write your own screenplay because this is a special case and most screenplays aren't nearly as interesting or descriptive.
