Oh, by the way, I am not sure about the legality of doing this, copyrights and

all, and also how legal my copy is, but let me just say that, since this is
done all the time on the net anyhow, what the hell...  IF there are any
problems with this, well, let me know.

OK, there are some small little bits that I will leave out, word changes for
the
better and all, I will leave out the insignificant stuff, since that would
take forever anyhow.  I am dialing up to my account, so I have no access t
sorry, to a scanner for about two weeks, so I cannot post the thing.  Yet.

I am going to warn you here, this will spoil the WHOLE movie if you have not
seen it, so too bad.

The first twenty min. with Desmond and Stanley is all the same, with my copy
showing Stanley to be more annoyingly unfunny than he was.  But the first
change comes towards the end.  In my copy, the whole scence withthe old woman
and the icepack, where there is a dead silence and no explination whatsoever. 
Well, that does not exist in my script.  Instead, there is a short sequence
where they find a "Titleist Golf Ball" under TB's trailer. 
(Endorsement?)This, I have no explination for.  Then, the other major change
comes when they want to take TB's body away for study.  Cable and Desmond
fight eachother, and truthfully, this is better left out.

====
The script moves on, and later we find Cooper meeting with Stanley in his
apartment, Stanley's that is, which was left out of the movie.  Nothing really
important here, just that Stanley asks Cooper about the Blue rose, and Cooper
says that he will not tell him about it either===
=====
[Sorry about all these typos.]

The first MAJOR change comes with Phillip Jeffries/David Bowie.  After Cooper
goes thru with his bit of looking at the camera and then running to view the
tv monitor, there is a cut to:
EXT. BUENOS AIRES HOTEL-DAY
PHILLIP JEFFRIES checks into the hotel.

So there he is in South America, and then 
we read, 
BACK ON COOPER
He runs back out the door into the hallway.  Behind him at the end of the hall
a door opens and _Phillip Jeffries who moments ago was in Buenos
Aires_{Italicized} enters the hallway...

Obviously, this is all meant to shed a little more light on the picture, which
MR. Lynch convinently left out of the movie.
Jeffries moves into the room, and here is the text of what he says, that is,
in my script, though the whole sequence is different.  I will copy it as best
I can so you can tell the difference...

JEFFRIES: I want to tell you everything, but I don't have a lot to go on.  But
I'll tell you one thing: Judy is positive about this.
ALBERT: How interesting.  I thought we were going to keep Judy out of this.
JEFFRIES: Listen to me carefully.  I saw one of their meetings.  It was above
a convenience store.  
ALBERT: Who's meeting?  Where have you been?
COLE: For God sakes, Jeffries, you've been gone damn near two year.s
JEFFRIES: It was a dream.  We live insides a dream.
ALBERT: And it's raining Post Toasties.
JEFFRIES: NO, NO. I found something...in Seattle...at Judy's...and then,
tthere they were.,  They sat quietly for hours.

INT ROOM ABOVE THE CONVENIENCE STORE-DAY

SIX PEOPLE IN A LARGE, BARREN, FILTHY ROOM.  CHEAP PLASTIC STORM WINDOWS FLAP
IN THE COLD WIND.  I NTHE FOREGROUND THE MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE (MIKE) AND BOB
SIT AT A FORMICA TABLE.  BEHIND THEM ON PLASTIC TORN CHAIRS HUDDLE MRS.
TREMOND AND HER GRANDSON.  TWO BIG WOODSMEN WITH FULL BEARDS SIT QUIETLY.

{This is mostly subtitled...}
FIRST WOODSMAN: We have descended from pure air.
MFAP: Goin up and down.  Intercourse between the two worlds.
BOB: LIght of new discoveries.
MRS TREMOND: Why not be composed of materials and combinations of atoms?
GRANDSON: This is no accident.
MFAP: This is a formica table.  Green is its color. [He touches the table].
FIRST WOODSMAN: Our Wold.
{sorry, that's 'World'}
MFAP: With chrome.  And everything will proceed cyclically.
SECOND WOODSMAN: Boneless.
MIKE: Yes, find the middle place.
BOB:[screaming] I have the fury of my own momentum.
GRANDSON: Fell a victim.
MFAP: Fire walk with me...
BOB: [claps his hand and a circle of fire appears in the room.]  Fire walk
with me

THE RED ROOM

[Bob crawls into the Red Room and Mike starts to yell and leaps in after him.]

SECOND WOODSMAN:  Thus time moves on.

FBI OFFICE.

JEFFRIES: I followed. [he cries]. The ring..ring...
COLE: Albert, I'll take that second mineral water.  [AFTER HESIATAION, ALBERT
GETS THE MESSAGE AND LEAVES THE ROOM.]  Phillip, let's calm down and get all
of this interesting story on paper.  [COLE TRIES TO RAISE SOMEONE ON THE
INTERCOM BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY JUICE.]  Hello...Hellol...[HE IS
GETTING NOTHING.  THE STATIC BEGINS TO BUILD ON THE INTERCOM.  THE WIRING ON
THE WALL AND THE FLOURESCENT LIGHTS START TO HUM AS WELL.]
Let me hear some good news.  My device is faulty. Where the hell is the sound
in this thing?  Mayday...

HEARING 'MAY', JEFFIRES TURNS AND STAES AT A _CALENDAR ON THE WALL_ MOVE INTO
JEFFRIES.
?
JEFFRIES: MAY? 1989?  [STARING AT THE CALENDAR, IT IS 1989.]

{To save space, they check the tape and see that he was there, although now he
has disappeared...The next scence has him reappear in the hotel in Buenos
Aires, in a hallway with terrified workers and a blackened, smoking wall.}

Well, that is all I can do right now.  I do have to pay this long distance
bill for dialing up, and I do have to work tomorrow.  Boy, summer jobs are
hell...

I will continue tomorrow, and hopefully this has some brains churning with the
impications of what was said.  I hope you could decipher this all, my typing
that is, and I will paginate this better nexttime....

stay tuned...
