So, don't say you can never learn anything new. I thought I was well versed in the art of screenwriting, but apparently I was not. I always wrote phone conversations like this:
INT. CAR
Person #1 is on the phone.
Person #1:
The world is a vampire.
INT. HOME
Person #2 is on the phone.
Person #2
Sent to drain.
INT. CAR
Person #1 is still on the phone.
Person #1
Secret Destroyer.
INT. HOME
Person #2 is on the phone.
Person #2
Hold you up to the flame.
However, I learned that is appropriate to write.
INT. CAR
Person #1 is on the phone.
Person #1:
The world is a vampire.
INT. HOME
Person #2 is on the phone.
INTERCUT--PERSON #1/PERSON #2
Person #2
Sent to drain.
Person #1
Secret Destroyer.
Person #2
Hold you up to the flame.
Intercutting is the hip new thing, and readers, apparently, hate to see slug lines for each line of dialog.

**I didn't revise this spec b/c I knew it wasn't a popular spec and it probably wouldn't be read. But I still really like this script.**
