Halloween -- in which Levi doesn't understand "trick-or-treating." Yep...still writing in teleplay/screenplay (I'm way too tired to use the right one)

I'M TRYING BUT YOU CAN TELL I HAVE NO IDEA WTF I'M DOING. This is so different from novel-writing...

FADE IN:

INT. - A Living Room

It's a room with cream-colored couches and walls with oriental rugs in front of them. The glass coffee table holds a few mugs and unimportant books. LEVI ACKERMAN sits on a couch with crossed legs while focusing intently on a book.

A doorbell rings and Levi sets the book down before running to get the door. He opens the door.

LEVI ACKERMAN

Hello?

There are several kids standing on his porch in several different costumes. A little GIRL holds out a trash bag.

GIRL

Trick-or-Treat!

LEVI ACKERMAN

What? Is this some kind of prank?

ERWIN SMITH walks in and stands next to Levi.

ERWIN SMITH
(dramatically)
It's called that special day where selfish children dress up like monsters come and force you to give them candy. I'm sure you can handle it.

Erwin hands him a bowl full of candy before walking off screen.

(A/N: It was at this point that we realized...we had no idea what we were writing anymore. A teleplay...or a screenplay? THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW. (It has the format of a screenplay but the narration of a teleplay and we don't even know.))

LEVI ACKERMAN
(thinks for a moment)
...You heard him! I'll call the cops on you if you don't leave.

The kids look scared and their mothers give him disapproving glances as everyone shuffles away from the door.

Levi turns to look at Erwin after happily slamming the door on the now crying children.

LEVI ACKERMAN
(swipes his hands like it's a job well done)
Got rid of that problem.

ERWIN SMITH
(unbelievably like, "FO REALZ?")
I was joking, Levi...
