When you're writing a script, what if one of your characters is THINKING something that the audience can hear--how do you indicate that in a script?

The other people who are acting can't hear it, just the audience. They head the person's thoughts.

The only ways an audience can hear a characters thoughts are if the character is talking to his or her self, out loud. or if the character is acting as a disembodied narrator, relating the thoughts of the character you are watching. Think of an older Ralphie as the narrator in 'A Christmas Story', telling us what young Ralphie was thinking and feeling.

In the script, simply indicate which method is taking place.

Bubble it with a point directed at the character.
