[FADE IN]
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
[Mood: Tension and bewilderment. The room is dimly lit, a flickering lamp casting uneasy shadows on the walls. A FAMILY PORTRAIT hangs above the fireplace — JASON (30s), his WIFE (30s), and his BEST FRIEND, MIKE (30s).]
[Jason paces back and forth, phone in hand, recounting his bizarre day.]
JASON
(V.O.)
I never thought I'd have to deal with it. The government’s secret "Swapped at Birth" program — a covert initiative that switched two babies' bodies right after birth — was something I'd only heard whispers about. But today, I got the shocking news. My wife, Emily, and my best friend, Mike, had been born in the same hospital and were part of that program.
[Flashback to earlier that day. A GOVERNMENT AGENT sits at the kitchen table, explaining the situation to Jason, who listens in stunned silence.]
GOVERNMENT AGENT
(Grimly)
Mr. Blair, I'm afraid both Emily and Mike were part of the "Swapped at Birth" initiative. We only recently declassified the information due to ongoing complications with medical histories.
[Back to the present. Jason stops his pacing, his hands running through his hair as he tries to process everything.]
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
[Jason's wife, EMILY (now MIKE in her body), standing in front of the mirror wearing a set of black lingerie. She poses, examining her curves and admiring her reflection.]
MIKE (IN EMILY'S BODY)
(Laughing, turning towards Jason)
Dude, check it out! I've got curves for days!
[Jason stands in the doorway, jaw slightly open, unable to muster a response. MIKE (in EMILY's body) turns back to the mirror, swaying her hips.]
MIKE (IN EMILY'S BODY)
This is nuts, man. How do you even walk in these heels?
JASON
(Exasperated)
Mike, this isn’t a joke. How are we supposed to explain this to the kids?
MIKE (IN EMILY'S BODY)
(Shrugs, fiddling with a bra strap)
I dunno, dude. But hey, the experiment was top-notch, huh?
[Jason sighs and walks over to the bed, sitting down heavily.]
JASON
I just... I can't believe this is happening. And Emily... I mean you, Mike — Emily isn't a guy anymore. How is she taking it?
CUT TO:
INT. GARAGE - NIGHT
[Emily (in MIKE's body), stands over a workbench, examining tools with a newfound interest. She picks up a wrench, flexing her new muscles.]
EMILY (IN MIKE'S BODY)
(Impressed)
Wow, these hands... these arms, they're incredible.
[Jason enters the garage, leaning against the doorframe. Emily looks up with a grin, a glint of excitement in her — or rather, Mike's — eyes.]
EMILY (IN MIKE'S BODY)
Hey, babe. Check this out! I think I'm getting the hang of this.
JASON
(Worn out)
Emily, this is insane. Aren’t you... devastated?
EMILY (IN MIKE'S BODY)
I was at first, Jason. But... I don't know, it's like... I'm seeing things from a new perspective. It’s actually kinda liberating.
[Jason looks down, trying to understand this new reality.]
BACK TO:
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
[Jason sits alone, his face buried in his hands. Footsteps approach — Mike (in Emily's body) plops down on the couch next to him.]
MIKE (IN EMILY'S BODY)
Hey bro, we’re gonna figure this out. Like, one step at a time. Together.
JASON
(Looking up)
It’s just... I imagined a future with you, Emily. Our plans. And now, those plans include Mike too.
MIKE (IN EMILY'S BODY)
(Softly, placing a hand on Jason’s shoulder)
We'll find a new normal, bro. We’ll make this work. I promise.
FADE OUT.

Prompt: write a movie script with dialogue where The swapped a birth program was a secret program that the government made that swapped two people’s bodies right after they were born. I never thought I would have to deal with it, but there when today I got the shocking news. My wife and my best friend had been born at the same hospital and had been placed in the program. My buddy is now in my wife’s body enjoying his new curves as he puts on lingerie in the mirror. My wife was devastated at frost but now seems to enjoy being a man. My buddy doesn’t really know how to act wifely yet he keeps calling me dude and bro. I guess maybe at some point I’ll get used to it.
