This document provides an analysis of an unclear radio script called "The Wire". In three sentences:
The style of the script is described as weird with unclear formatting and no proper stage directions. The content discusses a scene where Roz and Carly argue while getting in their car, with Carly upset that Roz has been missing. There does not seem to be a clear good or bad character, but Roz may be hiding something, taking on the role of a bad guy, while Carly looks out for her as the good guy.
