Prompt (original, unmodified)
SHOT 1 – A man and woman sit in the backseat of a car at night, the city glowing outside. The camera faces them from the front seat. After a beat, the woman says, “You’re late.” The man doesn’t look at her. “Traffic.” SHOT 2 – Exterior side view through the window. The car moves through neon-lit streets, reflections sliding across their faces. The woman glances at him. “You took a different route.” The man: “I had to.” SHOT 3 – Back inside, closer now. The woman studies him, something off. “You said no one followed you.” The man hesitates, then: “I don’t think they did.” SHOT 4 – The woman turns fully to him, her expression tightening as she says, “Did anyone see you?”
