Hi All, I'm new to these boards and I've come lookinf for advice. I teach English to Korean students and I sometimes use Raiders of the lost Ark; it's an entertaining source of authentic language.

What I'd like to do is look at the transcript (not the scripts I've found on the web, but the words they really use in the movie) for the part starting when Marcus tells Indy he's gonna go look for the Ark and ending when Marion announces she's Indy's new partner.

Does anyone know where I could find such a transcript? Maybe on the web somewhere?

The final scripts is the closest thing I know of. As a student of theatre and film, I know that when the final production or filming happens the script is changed by the actors or the director and the changes are never reflected on the script.
However, I could be wrong an such a transcript is available...sorry that I couldn't more of a help.

After the final script is presented and agreed upon by the production crew, it is broken down into numbered scenes (so the line producer can have a job) and converted into the shooting script, as Aaron indicated. Most of the scripts on the net are not shooting scripts and are usually first or second drafts.

Except for narrative prose or screenplays, the only or "transcripts" that I know of are "treatments" which is usually only a summary of the movie in paragraph form.
