What did you like about this script?
Overall, the areas I enjoyed most from this script were Grace and Morgan’s relationship, the comedic undertones in the narrative and Grace’s resistance to facing her past.
Grace and Morgan’s characters could not be more different in terms of their personalities and perspectives and I think that the writer has done a great job of building their relationship from the ground up. Throughout the script, Grace and Morgan’s characters often complement each other in terms of humor and sarcasm.
Grace’s character is awkward, painfully-honest and at times a bit more childish than Morgan who’s rude and snobbish behavior did not seem to be tampered with their arrival to Dirt Springs.

The first act of this script sets Grace and Morgan up to go to Dirt Springs and establish whether the XMoo station should be closed or not.
Likewise, with both Morgan and Grace’s determination to be done and out of the small town the two unexpectingly seem to become complacent and content with the idea of working at the station and staying in the trailer park. Furthermore, I was surprised that Morgan’s character did not but up more of a fight to settling into Dirt Springs than she did.
The sole reason Morgan’s father, Ty sends the duo to Dirt Springs seems to be all but forgotten until around page, 75 or so when Morgan spots Grace on the phone with her father. Ty wanted the two of them to come to a decision about the radio station, but he also wanted Morgan to grow up and learn
