I recall this script from last year. Great read. Looking quickly at this rewrite I notice more CAPS and underlines... why? I also recall the author never showing up last year either.
The original was a good example of action writing.
Thanks for reading. Caps are for sounds, per industry standard, as are underlines to point out important info.
I think you are hurting the read here. Page 1has GUARD YAWNS. Do we really need that emphasized? Coughing? Caps are fine for character introductions and maybe important items/scene changes in spec scripts. Anything else I would save for a shooting script to assist staff.
You are taking a risk turning off potential readers especially with the underlines. I'm curious what other board members think.
I agree with Tony. Underlines only belong in dialogue to emphasise... but today it is fine to use italics. Again though, this isn't something one should overuse.

Dustin, thanks for commenting. I'll take it under consideration.
