I cant believe that a teacher could be so jealous of sharing his students to the other teachers that youd resort to killing. I hate seeing people in pain. SIDNEY turns away and buries her head in MARKS shoulder. He writes loose, dialogue-driven, and keeps the action brief. I guess the stress is just getting to her right now.
SIDNEYWhat are you two whispering about over there?
GALEWere just telling each other how much we love and have missed one another right hunny?
DEWEY(Confused at first)

Why are we always fighting over these students? The killer brings up and knife, but EVAN pulls up the case that he was trying to pull the prop knife off of and it makes contact with the real knife. We can take him.
DEWEY
