NOTE: I also hope that maybe one of the less popular episodes goes for, like, $10. I could afford a ten dollar script >_>

Tomorrow we're listing Shindig. It's the first script that is not only signed by the 9, Joss and Tim, but the writer as well...Jane Espenson!

ENCYCLOPEDIA
In the war to unite the planets, The Battle Of Serenity was among the most devastating and decisive. Located on Hera, the valley was considered a key position by both sides, and was bitterly fought over. The Independent Faction, with sixteen brigades and twenty air-tank squads,
held the valley against Alliance forces for almost two months, until superior numbers and a brilliant deep- flank strategy by General Richard

What does it say under 'bloodbath'?

Simon turns off the book, seeing Zoe in his doorway.

SIMON
I'm was just trying to --

ZOE
We're not in there. The book, I mean. We're not generals or diplomats, we didn't turn the tide of glorious history or whatever that thing is supposed to spew.

SIMON
You know what they say: History is programmed by the winners.

ZOE
Nearly half a million people lay dead on that field at day's end, about a third of them 'winners'. Can you imagine the smell? Can you imagine piling up the bodies of soldiers -- of friends -- to build a wall 'cause you got no cover? Blood just kept pouring out of them, you'd slip in it half the time, find out bloodbath is not just a figure of speech.

SIMON
Mal was there with you.

She enters, sits across from him.

ZOE
He was my sergeant. In command of thirty-odd grunts -- five days in, there were so many officers dead he commanded two thousand. Kept us
together, kept us fighting, kept us sane. By the time the fighting was over he had maybe four hundred still intact.

SIMON
That's a hell of a --

ZOE
I said the fighting was over. But you see they left us there. Wounded, and sick, and near to mad as can still walk and talk. Both sides left
us there while they 'negotiated the peace'. For a week. And we just kept dying. When they finally sent in Medships, he had about a hundred and
fifty left, and of our original platoon, just me.

She stands.

ZOE (cont'd)
Mercy, forgiveness, trust... Those are things he left back there. What he has now is the ship, the ship and us on it. You get Kaylee through this and I think he'll do right by you. He won't kill unless he's got no other option.

SIMON
What if he tells you to kill me?

ZOE
I kill you.

What do you think of this alternate theory about Adam's last note: is it possible it refers to Jayne's thoughts about Mal? Might Adam have been reminding himself not to give the line too much hostility?

Here's a shout out to MakesUsMighty, my colleague and bestest Browncoat buddy, and the other two 'coats who had the fun of being present at the "grand opening" of the package from Adam. MuM was supportive about my going public, so you all owe him a nod.

The script is a bit over 100 looseleaf pages held together with metal bendy tabs (not sure what those are called).

Zoid, thanks for the suggestions and advice. I'll have to see about getting some dessicant packs. I know that it's possible to "bake out" a used pack so it can do its job again. One question: would storing the script on its back be all right if there's nothing printed on the back? My safe deposit box won't hold it on edge, but I could get a different one if it's critical. Oh, and as to the value, I'm a bit skeptical. Take a look at the other TV show scripts on eBay; even rare ones sell for hugely less than I bid. Ultimately, the dollar value isn't what matters anyway.
