This is from the shooting script for "The Gift"
Quote:

And Spike jumps over the whole defensive crazy line to land in the thick of the minions, just fists and fury. (Fists, in fact, OF fury.)(Not David Fury.)(Though his fists are formidable.)(What, no, I'm not sleepy! Hey, I'm in CHARGE, here!)
Rest of script here:

More shooting script madness, this time from "Anne":
Quote:

INT. MAIN CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS - NIGHT

It's enormous. And it's Hell. Part factory, part prison camp, with more than a little Spanish Inquisition thrown in. HUMAN PRISONERS work at hauling enormous stones, doing metal work, any and all demeaning and backbreaking labour. Along the tops of the huge concrete pillars, people have been hung up to die for crimes of one kind or another. Molten metal runs along gutters into metal vats. Everything is covered with a layer of grime. Carey and David K blow their entire budgets for the year, and Gareth can be seen in the corner weeping.

You should probably take down that link. FOX lawyers would love to get their hands on that site.

I'm sure they know about it. Not that hard to find. Doubtless they'll take it down as soon as they can convince the German courts (notice the domain name).

God, I *hope* they dont take down that site. I'm from England so its been invaluable to me for ages. Plus, I think the lawyer peeps ARE aware of it, because every time a new script book comes out the scripts contained in it are taken from the site.



Stay kooky.

If you look at the pages for S1 and S2, you'll see an explanation for that. The webmaster feels it's wrong to post copyrighted material that's available in book form.

But that's purely his ethical thing. Legally, all unauthorized copyrighted material is off limits, even if its not available elsewhere. And the copyright holder will do their best to shut down sites like this, even if they have no plans to distribute the material themselves. They're afraid it'll lose value if it's freely distributed. It's a big political issue in the U.S.

Just to add to that this site picked up the baton from a US site that did get shut down. The US site had the same ethical position but the lawyers didn't care.

I suspect that the reason this site is still up is due to it being in another country.
