Character Want - Screenwriting

In your character's voice say, "I want this... so that I can do this..."

For example:

"I want to buy an SUV so that my kids are safe on the road" is perfectly understandable reason but it doesn't suggest a relationship conflict.

"I want to buy an SUV so that my kids are safe on the road AND I can impress that guys wife."

That suggests a relationship conflict.

motivation, reasoning must suggest a relationship conflict.  That is what a story's "aboutness" will be about.

I want to put this want over that want and to do it I want to buy, steal, take, borrow, etc. this thing.

"I want to steal this bike because it will be fun to ride." = no story
"I want to steal this bike because I hate that nigger."  = story
"I want to steal this bike because my dad won't buy me one"  = story
"I want to steal this bike because I like stealing." = close, but no story
"I like stealing"  is generic "I like stealing from people."  Getting better.  "I like stealing from people who are rich in my eyes." - Even better.
"I like stealing from that guy who lives across from my uncles house because he's got nice stuff and I want nice stuff so that I can impress that girl who lives down the block." - = seed to a story

now the other half of the story arises while writing.

it's the other want that lies dormant that begins to show up.

like - I want to steal to impress that girl, but(and) I want to...  you can't make the second part up before you write the story.  you have to write for that second want to show up.
