Trying to run or save

osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to activate' -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Hello, world!"'

results in the following error:

Syntax Error
Expected end of line, etc. but found unknown token.

And at the moment, I don't know enough to fix it (that's one of the reasons I'm going though this wikibook).
