Ok lets say you're on the bus and on the seat in front of you is a wad of paper.

On the cover are the words:
"Serenity - shooting script, by Joss Whedon"

Yes it's the actual shooting script to Serenity and you realise if you pick it up take it home and thumb through it you could be privy to the very meaning of life!!!

...Or at least what happens in the film and how it ends!!!!

So would ya read it?

Or

Would you hold off and wait for the film to come out first?

Or

Hey would you return it to Joss?

1,2 or three ?

(P.S. Sorry if this has been done before)

I wouldn't read it, 'cause that would just ruin it for me.
I might keep it for after I've seen the movie, to compare, to tell what some hard-to-understand line is, and for collector's value.
I might try to sell it back to Joss --
"Ha! I've got your script! Give me twenty bucks or you'll never see it again!"
Then he laughs at me and gives me twenty bucks..
Or he pulls out another copy..

I'd read it. Then I'd return it to Joss. Sorry, no indecision here. Joss doesn't like spoilers, and the SCRIPT is just too gorram big to leave out there. Doesn't keep ME from reading it, though :)

Id hope I wouldn't read but I seem to keep clicking on threads that mention the script so I couldn't be sure. I think Id read the first few pages and then keep it somewhere nice and secure.

I think I'd keep it...in the hopes of getting Joss to autograph it someday, when he wouldn't be mad that I'd kept it without returning it....

But I would try to lock it up so I couldn't read it, because I'm sure seeing the film on the big screen will be WAY more exciting than spoiling the surprises ahead of time by reading a script...

or spoilers...

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I would be tempted to read it, but I think I could resist until after I had seen the movie.

Then I would put it up on eBay.

I would keep it...and then hide it away so I could avoid the urge to look through it. With my luck, it would get lost and I wouldn't find it until I start to move out for college in 6 or 7 years, but if I didn't happen to forget where I hid it, I would read it AFTER the movie came out. And hunt down Joss, and make him sign it.

Now I want to ride the bus more often.

I'd read it. Then I'd re-read it. Then I'd re-re-read it, all in the hopes of figuring out how he DOES what he does, so I can do likewise and have a successful moviemaking career my ownself.

Besides, reading it only spoils the plot. It doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the rest of the film -- the fantastic acting, the interpretation of the script by the actors, the cinematography, etc.

Oh, and I'd definitely keep it. What a fantastic reference on great screenwriting!

I'd definitely hang on to it (NOT sell it), but I wouldn't read it. Because I care about it.

Not like the new Batman movie. I read that script -- granted, it wasn't the shooting script. But I read it, guilt-free.

Faster than a speeding bullet is how fast I would read it

Is there a return address on it?

Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Well some very interesting notions. I'm surprised more of you wouldn't consider a meeting with the Joss man and returning his script..... With a job on any of his future projects a prerequisite to the scripts safe return, of course :)

I'd like to think I could resist reading it myself as I do like watching films with almost zero knowledge about plot lines etc.

But this would be a tough one to resist I must admit.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I for one would return it to Joss as soon as possible. If necessary I would get on a plane & fly out to LA to get it back into Joss's hands. I would not under any circumstances read the script. I would not want to ruin the BDM for myself. Sure, I would be sorely tempted (who wouldn't be?), but I would not read it.

I would hope that my fellow Browncoats are jesting about selling it on Ebay.

I would most certainly be read by me.

I would...

1: Read it, you betcha!

2: Write myself into the script as Kaylee's love interest!

3: Travel back in time to the first day of shooting and personally return the script back to Joss and hope that he doesn't notice the re-write.

Oh my, how soon folks forget...

Joss LIKES yanking our chain, I wouldn't put it past him to leave a really bogus phony 'script' layin around as a joke.

Me, I'd take it back to him and say "Nice try, think we can sell it to Fox?" and have a good laugh with him.

I would keep it, but immediately contact Joss and:
1) Let him know that I have this but am not going to read or share it
2) Ask if it would be okay for me to keep it as I'm a devoted fan and would absolutely die to just have this little token of the movie (that I would promise not to share with anyone until after the movie aired)
3) In return (for not sharing it - did I mention that?

), would he be kind enough to sign it for me?

But no, I would not read it. I'm going into this movie spoiler free, if at all possible. I'm looking forward to it...

HAWK

I wouldn't spoil it by reading it. Perhaps I'd take in the first scene or so...

But right after its straight onto e-bay with it and I wash my hands of the whole thing.

I really would as well.

I'm such a whore.

I probably read the first coupla pages, then think "No! Your ruining it for yourself!" Then hide it somewhere, but keep goin back to the pages I've already read, because the surpirse is already ruined for those.

Wouldn't return it though. I'd assume Joss made a coupla copies for himself, and that this wans't the last remaining script.

Although, if it was the last remaining script, its value would increase...hmmmm
