Does it have just be the two people? Had an idea, but it required me bring in additional characters outside the two main.

Did you read the criteria?

Two main characters.

One additional character or an object(third variable). BUT it will be present for only ONE PAGE of the entire script.

One-page disclaimer: If you introduce the third variable on any page of your script, it has to be done and completed on that page only. NEVER to be SEEN again. So it's better if you introduce the third variable at the beginning of the page.

Of course, you can mention the third variable in your dialogs.

All clear?

Does this mean that the third variable can only be mentioned in the action blocks on one page? Can it, in theory, remain "on screen" if it's an object?

Very interesting challenge, I might give it a shot.

If the third variable is a person then it can be seen as well as heard(i.e. dialogs).

If it is an object then - well it can only be seen.

Hope this clears your confusion.

Go for it, Mark!

What percentage can/could your object /variable take if you only do a 1 pager?
It can take up the entire page?

Protest: Animation - no?

Maybe Zack needs to explore another side of his personality?  The softer side.

Maybe.
