Very nice. Utilizes comic conventions quite well, particularly in the way you shift from one panel to another when dealing with dialogue, which would help keep the panels largely uncluttered with dialogue, giving the artist more room to show body language and facial expressions. Would think you wouldn't want the mystery in the first panels for a script. That is, the artist might need more than 'something drips from her chin' in order to draw it properly.
