I tried a Google search and two websites that have loads of scripts, but I was unable to find the Rain Man script.

If anyone here can provide a link to a website that does have the script, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

I never could find this script, so I wound up buying it, and when I rceived the script in the mail, the front cover was stamped with 'Classified'. Why? I don't know.

But after reading the script you realize just how much Dustin Hoffman brought to that part. All of the "who's on first" is not in the script.

I wouldn't mind buying the script, except that I prefer to buy the script where it is bound like a book. That's how I bought the script for Good Will Hunting, Double Indemnity, and Sunset Boulevard. I'm afraid that if I buy the script from an online store where it is not found in book form, but like a script, that those involved with the film (screenwriters, studio) won't be seeing any money from it, and that the only one who will profit is the online store.

If I am wrong, then I'll go ahead and buy it from a site where it is made available.

I remember hearing about Hoffman's improvisations. I don't remember where I heard it, but there were times where he would forget his lines and substitute it with "yeah," and apparently it worked.

Your worried that the studios and producers are gonna miss your share of the ten bucks?

They wipe their asses with ten dollar bills.
