What about Sue Anne’s husband?
HARRY
Well, he’s going to live. He’s in the hospital. He was – he was drunk.

Hmmm, this one calls to mind a certain teenage daughter who discovered her father on the floor recently…

I have never delved into screenplays. May have to think about it.

I haven’t read any of those screenplays but if I were to guess which the teaser is from I’d say Tender Mercies. I’ve read the ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ book and I don’t recognize those character names. That doesn’t mean much since it’s been quite a while since I read it.

Screenplays are so interesting! Very different from reading a book.
My teaser is here.

A really great teaser. I’m with the others — it’s fascinating seeing snippets from these screenplays instead of books. Thanks for the peek into that scene!
My own teaser is at Bookishgal.

I’ll go right ahead and agree with almost everyone else and say that your teasers always broaden my horizons. I’d never read a screenplay or any script other than school plays before, but I’ve now read some beautiful lines courtesy of your blog. Thanks for sharing with us!
