Reposting this because I revamped my site and the link changed. Added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I think is more interesting than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! rian-johnson.com/scripts

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Until they discover they're dead and in Limbo. Then no one rests in peace. They plead with God for life. Humorously. Desperately.

The artist really made an effort to capture Julie Adams’s likeness.
