Are movie scripts

supposed to be this long?

Wendy:
Yes.

Because it's an epic saga,

it should be long,

highly detailed,

thorough.

In my script, Spock travels

back and forth through time

to save the Federation.

Wow, sounds fascinating.

Towards the end,

there are a few passages

in the Klingon language,

but don't worry,

Good to know.

(door closing)

You know,

we can still take it with us.

- No room.

- Husband:
Well...

We could have it shipped.

We can't afford it.

I thought you loved playing.

I liked it when Wendy played.

I'm gonna go see

if Ruby's awake yet.

Hey.

What?

What's a "tribble"?

It's kind of like a guinea

pig-type thing,

but without legs, or a face,

and it reproduces like crazy.

(door closing)

Young Audrey:
(TV audio) Wendy.

Pay attention. Look.

Fork goes on the left,

right on top. Fork on the left.

You try, your turn.

On the left.

Put it on the left.

Yeah, good job.

And the knife.

You see the knife?

Wendy, look at the knife.

It goes on the right.

Just like that.

Wanna try the plate?

That one's easy,

it goes right in the middle.

You can do it. Come on.

(Young Wendy screaming)

Young Audrey:
Mom!

Stop!

Mom!

Husband:
What are you watching?

Hey, lio-lio-lio

Hey, lio-lilee-lio

You wanna try?

Yeah!

You did it!

Young Audrey:

Hey, lilee-lilee-lilee

Hey, lilee-lilee lo

Young Audrey:
Good job!

Wendy:
(whispering) "Spock looks

up at the star-filled sky,

surveys the barren contours

of this alien wasteland.

'Spock, escape is imperative,'

he whispers..."

Scottie:
Hey, Wendy.

Big day tomorrow.

Anything you need before I go?

Have you read my script yet?

I'm working on it.

- Night.

- Good night.

(printer sounding)

Audrey:
Thank you

for working with Wendy.

I know how difficult

she can be.

To tell you the truth,

I'm scared.

Wendy's changed.

She's made huge strides

since being here.

She's come such a long way.

You'll see when you talk to her.

I'll leave you to it.

Hi, Wendy.

Hi, Audrey.

- You look nice.

- Thank you.

I like your outfit.

It's so purple.

So, I heard you got a job.

Do you like it?

No, it sucks, but at least

I get to make Cinnabons.

Oh.

I brought you a picture of Ruby.

What can Ruby do now?

She can say "Mama" and "Dada"...

and "Elmo".

(laughs)

She loves Elmo.

Can I have this picture of Ruby?

Yeah, I brought it for you.

When can I meet Ruby?

Soon.

I'm her aunt.

So, Wendy,

I came to visit today

because there's something

I need to tell you.

Um, Jack has finally found

a new job and...

There's a Star Trek

script-writing contest.

Oh, okay, cool.

It's a contest

where they're having

people write their own

Star Trek movie scripts
