Maybe one of the people wired in with the Daria production people could answer this for me, A girl at my school gave me what appears to be a Daria script. I don't know for a fact that it is real but it doesn't appear to be Fan Fiction, There are refrences to storyboards and setup captions. The script is dated March 17th 2000. She claims to have gotten it off IRC (Somewhere I don't tread) I have no reason not to beleive her, she has gotten genuine articals in the past such as the Cruel Intentions script about a month before it came out.
I am going to scan it in with OCR tommorow afternoon, My scanner is painfully slow. I will try to get the actual file it was printed form first.
I guess to avoid pissing people off I will leave spoiler space assuming the script is genuine 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Okay, Lets see what we have here.
There is a new male character, Malcolm, He is intrested in Daria, Daria appears to be intrested in him, AND, the Fashion club is intrested in him also as a member, Quinn seems convinced he is gay, Malcolm is from the UK, He lives with his mother who is an antrhopoligst at the Smithsonian, Therefore almost certainly placing lawndale in Maryland. He appears to hit it off with Jodie and Mack. He becomes Jodies Tennis partner and he very publically slams Kevin and makes a scene in an assembly involving two shell shocked Vietnam vetrans, He then becomes enemies with DeMartino. He also blows off the Fashion Club, this is a direct quote:
44| Sandi: Uhh, Hi, Malcolm is it?
45| Malcolm (Not looking up): So I have been told
46| Sandi: Is that a Vince Deon jacket?
47| Malcolm (Not looking up): Winter Collection
48| Sandi: Allow me to introduce myslef, I am Sandi Griffon, President of
the Fashion Club.
this is Quinn, Stacy and Tiffany
49| Malcolm: Pleased to meet you,
50| Quinn: Hey we are looking for an expert on British fashion, would you
like to be the first
male member of the fashion club?
51| Malcolm: Nope
52| Tiffany: What ... do ... you ... mean ... nope
53| Malcolm (Mimicking Tiffany) I ... mean ... I ... am ... not ...
intrested
Setup: Daria and Jane enter frame
54| Quinn: Do you mean you are not intrested in girls or not intrested in
the fashion club
55| Malcolm: Not intrested in stupid girls, not the (mimiking Sandi) Fashion
Club
Setup: Fashion Club turns away
56| Sandi: Lets Go Men
57| Malcolm: Definetly NOT intrested
Setup: Daria and Jane now at lockers, Malcolm turns to face Daria and Jane
58| Malcolm: Pretty convincing drag queens eh?
59| Daria (upbeat): The redhead is my brother!
Setup: Jane shocked, Daria catches herself and blushesWell that is all I feel like copying from a page with 8pt. text at midnight.
If this Malcolm character is for real I can't wait to hear his voice. I guess the Trent 'shippers will be hanging themselves.
As for my fanfict "Manifest Destiny" it has been sidelined by a project I have to complete by the end of May for an advanced XDD programme I want to take this summer. Every waking hour not spent on school or work is spent infront of this really pissy Silicon Graphics Indigo I am about ready to tie to the bumper of my car and take out for a ride on the TransCanada or maybe set on fire.
Trust me, emailing me weekly won't get it done any faster. But I can repost the "trailer" if anyone wants me to.
