Not Dead Yet by Lisa Gibson/Samantha Sperling - Comedy - Synopsis: According to their families, Mavis Finney and Leena Travino are two stubborn old women who refuse to do what they're told.  These two women became friends when Mavis moved into Leena's seniors complex. Both are very active in the senior community and never miss their weekly Bingo.  Leena's family begs her to stop driving but her rebellious nature keeps her in the driver's seat. She believes that she's as good as she ever was. Mavis's seventy-fifth birthday becomes the perfect opportunity for her family to exercise their control when they bring up the topic of old age homes and she's having none of that! After winning the jackpot at the local Bingo Hall, an anxious Leena causes an accident in the parking lot.  She's forced to subject herself to public humiliation by going to mandatory Driver's Training. Feeling confident in her driving skills she ditches the course and never looks back.   98 pages - pdf, format 8)

I found this script to be funny and easy to identify with. I can see my grandmother acting just like Leena and Mavis.

at last, an interesting and refreshing script far from all those horror and violent stuff we could find here. No wonder that you had so few comments. Let me tell you that you have a great script and I can't see why you couldn't do something serious with it. Really liked it.

Have you got anything else?
