    The script is ~55k characters long, depending on the source. This transcript, 55k, includes who is saying the line, as well as descriptive elements of the story, so the actual ‘words only’ version will be a bit shorter. This one is 99k and includes even more description of the visual elements. From what I’ve seen, though, most of transcripts have these non verbal inclusions, so the person who added it to the special instructions likely copied those over as well.

    I can’t speak to the other points, but allowing 55k characters is definitely wild.

      youre not gettin more than maaybe 512 outta me if i was asked to store/move ‘special instructions’ with no requirement

      a part of me thinks someone connected directly to this printer and printed it. i cant imagine someone pasting 55k into an online form and it making it intact all the way to the print job.

      reality is, this would have been truncated client side before it even hit the wires.
