Desired code inside a thing that writes scripts:
Script writeIt()
{
  Format boxFormat = new Format(...);
  LabelBox box1 = new LabelBox("Box 1", new Point(400d,400d), boxFormat);
  LabelBox box2 = new LabelBox("Box 2", new Point(600d,600d), boxFormat);
  Arrow arrow = new Arrow(box1,false,box2,true,boxFormat):
  
  // here's the script proper
  cue(3); // wait until the clock says it's 3.

	Pattern is context().action().object().
  
  assume() starts the context for setting defaults, so assume().format(...) sets a default format
  mark(ms) starts the script step context, saying, at time ms, do the action
  then() just continues the previous mark
  head() is a custom action, not a built-in, it clears the existing column and puts a headline up.
  sketch() is a built-in, it will cause the following actor to be sketched.
  letters() is a custom object(), creating a text and modifying it.
  group(), name(), at() and format() are all built-ins, all objects support them.
