Translate a Prose Scene Into Proper Screenplay Format

Prose carries internal thought and narration that a camera cannot capture, which is exactly what trips people up converting a scene to script. This rebuilds the scene in standard screenplay format, keeps only what can be seen or heard, and flags anything cut because it had no filmable equivalent.

<task>
**Translate** the pasted prose scene into standard screenplay format. Work only from the events, dialogue and characters present in the source text; do not invent new dialogue or action.
1. Convert narrative description into slugline plus present-tense action lines
2. Convert any reported or embedded dialogue into proper character cue and dialogue blocks
3. Cut internal thought and narration that cannot be shown or heard on screen; if a key story beat depends entirely on unfilmable internal thought, flag it rather than inventing a workaround
4. Keep action lines lean: no camera directions, no adjective stacking
