Example Code
Please?

I'd like to work on some TV scripts and such, but I learn best by looking at code.  I've gone over the few example codes on here several times and still don't feel all that comfortable with the langauge.  Would it be possible to have one of the existing TV scripts posted on here?

That way I can look at the code for something I (and anyone else who learns from looking at code) can see the code for a script we've seen in action?  Maybe one of the Johnny Sienfield episodes?

Here's something I've been working on....

Whether up in the stands or perusing the picnic area it looks like these people are on some kind of drug, being as most of them cannot stop smiling.

A look of sheer terror swells on their faces but their cries are unheard. The defective HoverCam swerves violently into a Corporate Box, bouncing off the reinforced two-way fiberweave with apparent confusion as it lingers in the air. Twin autoturrets suddenly come to life sending a full automatic burst into the disorderly HoverCam. The mischievous property of NLM spits sparks briefly before exploding in a union of circuitry, orbital steel, and 7.62 FMJ shells. The autoturrets go silent.]"

actor %Victor is named "Victor" and looks like "Victor's monthly struggle for survival has etched deep lines in his face, and his bestial grin attests to the ferocity under the surface. He carries himself with certainty as though each of his actions are planned with utter efficiency and tactic. A malign sort of patience rests within' his pupil-less eyes as though he recognizes that any true threat will come to him."

actor %Lin is named "Lin" and looks like "Lin's' impressive appearance wins many fights before they begin. She wears her hair cropped short, so as to provide no handhold for an opponent. Her large frame belies a surprising and deadly quickness. She surveys with they eyes of a true predator, noticing every subtle nuance and innuendo. Its as though she has a complete lack of fear."

actor %Samson is named "Samson" and look like "Sunken eyes, a perpetual snart and a domineering presence attests to Samson's age and utter lack of human emotion. He's obviously vat grown and has tattooed a cross on the back of his neck in open mockery of the Church and its promises of redemption. Flowing white hair hangs over his eyes, concealing whatever sinister intentions he has.�

Actor %Dirk is named "Dirk" and looks like "Dirk's eyes are impassive and distant. Life means nothing to him. His long blond hair dances around him with a life of its own, even when he is completely still. He bears a long scar across his face obviously inflicted by the
DeathBall that he wears as a badge of honor, given to him by a particularly worthy opponent. He speaks little, but his haughty demeanor exudes an aura of indomitably. He has witnessed massive blood-shed, and his gaze suggests that he sizes up everyone he meets."

Every few minutes, they travel through the veins of his temples and create curled horns on both sides of his shaved head. Then, the horns fade and the ink forms tear-shaped loops as it travels down his left cheek and back into the patterns on his body. Bauhaus goes vest less in order to show off his animated tattoos."

actor %Jamal is named "Jamal" and looks like "Jamal carries himself like a hunting cat: eyes constantly in motion, body perfectly still, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. His natural features are those typically ascribed to Egyptians and other North Africans."

actor %Jonus is named "Jonus" and looks like "Short, hairy and mean looking. You're not quite sure whether this guy just crawled out of the badlands or is undergoing radioactive therapy. Regardless, this strange little beast of a man commands a degree of respect amongst his fellow warriors that tower over him like giants. Must be the low center of gravity."
