Dual Dialogue

Writing in Dual Dialogue uses the caret (^) to signal when a line should pair up with the line that comes before it.

For example, this section of Greta Gerwig’s script for Little Women looks like this on the page:

And would look like this in Highland 2:

LAURIE
AMY! You’re so /grown up!

AMY^
/You wrote you’d come to the hotel!

LAURIE
I looked for you and couldn’t find /you anywhere!

AMY^
/You didn’t look hard enough!

LAURIE
Maybe I just didn’t recognize you, you’ve become so beaut/iful.

AMY^
(making a face)
/Please don’t.
