Soldiers fought for their country and many never received a…

    powerful dialogue. Right now, the dialogue is pretty straightforward and sounds a bit on the nose, (example) “What are you doing?” “Preparing to kill you.” Avoid cliché lines like, “You won’t get away with this.” Try to add subtext. Avoid repeating conversations. It feels like Terry says several times that he believes Ron did it, and then later that Frank is the copycat. The script is professionally formatted.
