THE 'BURBS Screenplay?

Looks like we all share the same desire here :)

I'd be happy to put it online somewhere we can all download it!

A few weeks ago, maybe slightly longer, someone on here put up a link to a site that sold copies of The Burbs screenplay for $20. I didn't need it at the time because I thought I already had a copy coming. But now that it didn't turn up I need to buy one of these other copies.

But I can't find that post anywhere on this forum. Can anyone else find it?

I've never seen that.

That's the one! I posted the link originally, on the previous page. If you go there and scroll down towards the bottom of the list, you'll see they have two drafts of THE BURBS screenplay for sale. One draft has some pages missing though - whereas the other draft appears to be complete, so that's probably the one to order.

The site also lets you choose whether or not to have the script sent to you as a hard copy or as a PDF file via email (which would save on the cost of postage and packing).
Thanks for posting the link again. I looked around the forum for 20 minutes and couldn't find it, and all along it was in the thread I was already in...

I just ordered the PDF version of the screenplay. It says it can take up to 48 hours for the PDF to be emailed. Now I'm seriously excited :) I bet this is gonna be a very surprising read!

I'm not sure about posting it publicly online...Might be asking for trouble. But anyone who wants to read it can PM me an email address where it can be sent and I'll send it as soon as I get it!

You can do PMs here, can't you...?

I've never seen that.
Thanks kindly Kris. I sent you a PM - hope you receive it okay!

Got it! Now the wait for the PDF to arrive in my inbox continues...

I've never seen that.
The screenplay PDF came :D I"m happy! I haven't read it yet, just skimmed it quickly to see if it was all there and for any obvious things that stuck out.

BREAKING NEWS: Skip didn't kill his family with an ice pick, he clubbed them to death!

BREAKING NEWS: Rumsfield didn't remove the glass from a downstairs window in Walter's house, he climbed up the ladder Ricky was using to paint his house, and then smashed a bedroom window!

BREAKING NEWS: Rumsfield didn't carry the tray of brownies over to the Klopek's house, Bonnie did!

Most of the scenes I've looked at are similar or the same, but the details are different. Almost every line of dialogue is slightly different. It's very weird!

If you PM'd me your email address it will be arriving shortly, as soon as I get back on my main computer :) There are gonna be a lot of new and weird things to find!

Yes!! :D

...This man said it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.
PDF sent to everyone who requested it! If anyone else wants to read it from this point on, just send me a PM and I'll send it ASAP!

MORE BREAKING NEWS: When they go to the Klopek's house in the screenplay, they don't eat sardines!!! I'm flabbergasted...

Didn't have time to do much more than skim (I'm headed out to dinner here presently), but Hans is kind of snarky in this version. I LOVE it.

Just received my copy Kris, thank you so much! Really looking forward to reading this. The first thing I noticed is that the draft is 118 pages. The rough rule of thumb for a movie script is that a page equals a minute of screen time - so 118 pages would equal roughly 1 hour 58 minutes.. The final movie runs for about 1 hour 41 minutes, so there must be a few scenes in here which didn't make the final cut. Can't wait to read the writer's original vision for the story :)
