Sorry for being a bit dim - but how does one view the actual pdf of the script?

Thanks - 0/10 to me for being such a dimwit! (but it was late and I'd been slaving away all day)

Page 1  You had 4 wrylies/ actor directions... Actors know how to act, put it in your description if anything. Lisa(exhausted).....further down the page Lisa(exhausted)...Not needed.

Continued bottom off page1 and start off page 2 Software issue perhaps?

Page 2

Jamie searches for something that she knows should be
underneath the bleachers.
Lisa watches, unamused.
Jamie finds the item she is looking for; it is an old soccer
ball.
Jamie marches her way back to Lisa and stops inches away
from her face.

This could be toned down....As Lisa watches unamused, Jamie finds an old soccer ball under the bleachers. Tucking it under her arm, she marches towards Lisa, stopping inches from her face.

Again actor directions in nearly every dialogue.

page 3
LISA
(Passive)
What are we doing here.   ..... no ?
JAMIE
(Chastising tone)
Do you remember.  ...... no ?
JAMIE (CONT’D)
DO YOU!        ........ no ?

Actor directions again

Page 4

Actor directions

LISA
(Unwilling)
What are you doing.  ..... no ?

Page 5

More actor directions and more missing  ?????

Lisa Stares Jamie down confrontationally......  stares no capital S

page 6

Actor directions

LISA fires shot after shot at Lisa and Lisa stops each one
and tosses it back at Jamie with a "take that" demeanor..... I think you mean JAMIE.. It`s very hard to shoot at yourself in soccer

Page 7

actor directions

LISA throws the ball at Lisa and it hits her in the head..... You mean JAMIE again

Lisa marches to Jamie.... Jamie marches to Lisa.... This is the 4th or 5th time I noticed "marches" mix it up use other terminology

page 8

more actor directions

and more marching

after more directions and missed ????
I got to page 11 fade out/fade in??? unnecessary... once you fade out, your script is finished.. maybe cut to:  is suffice.

Overall the story itself based entirely on 2 characters was nicely wrote, it was kinda of an anti-climax... i was expecting some superhero powers from from Lisa and her goalkeeping abilties

A lot of grammar mistakes.

Read a lot of scripts on this site and you will do well.
