Failed half-hour project

My attempt at a half-hour project before going to sleep failed. It took a little more than a half-hour, and my input of the following:

      version proto

      character paul
        image paul.png
      end

      character angie
        image angie.png
      end

      angie says I thought you were going to bed!
      paul say But I really wanted to try and write a comic markup language prototype.
      angie says What? What the heck is wrong with you? Go to sleep.
      paul says Just give me a half hour.
      angie says Ok, fine, but only a half hour. Crazy person.

only resulted in the following output:

Unrecognized command at line 3: "character"

Ah well, there’s always tomorrow…
