When I back up these threads, I cut/paste into word, which includes the link information.
Also the little tool I made to regenerate the full thread, takes a word file as input and will produce HBO style markup including links based on the stuff in the word doc.
so if you are backing up, just paste to word.

On the highway inside Luke's Isuzu Rodeo.
Emma: I like it when you are driving.
Luke: 'Cause you are a terrible driver.
Emma: No, 'cause you have to listen to me, and can't jump out.
Luke: Talk all you want, just don't ask me to answer.
Emma: You know who called when you were sleeping?
Linc Stark, the deposed Stinkweed boss.
Luke: Not this trickster.
Emma: He asked me to work for his new venture. As a voice over, with Cass.
Luke: You agreed I am assuming. He is loaded. (after a pause) And a charmer, I heard.
Emma: I am afraid to say yes, Luke. I don't have a "voice", not anymore.... What I was saying all these 8 years, was like going through the motions, I didn't have to think, I could've done it half asleep. Now whatever I do, wherever I go, those last days are on my mind. No, in everything.... I almost can taste it, smell it.... the presence, the sea....
Luke: I noticed. It borders on obsession. You are losing it, kid.
Emma: You are the only one who calls me kid, Luke. I hate it, I know you are making fun of me... What if I tell you that I feel like a kid these days - everything is so sharp and fresh, full of promise.
Luke: Not for me. A promise of a good night sleep is all I am hoping for. You run ahead, my friend...
Emma: Come on, Luke, I said to Linc I'll only accept his offer if you work with me. Please, I am not only your friend, say it!
Luke: (teasingly) Say what? Of course, you make pretty good chili, I have to give you that.
Emma: Oh, alright.... What if we see something strange and wonderful? A miracle? I am afraid I'll just scream or cry, you know.
Luke: My eyes are always on the viewfinder, and honestly my camera never recorded anything even close to miraculous.... May be Mitch Yost in the palm tree, although there is a perfect rational explanation for that too. And, I gotta tell you, kiddo, don't cry on camera, you don't look too hot when you do.
Emma: (she decides what to say and ends up laughing) Thanks, who needs enemies.... (she looks up and all of a sudden grabs Luke's right hand that is holding the wheel) Luke, no, no, don't you see it? (the Isuzu starts careening to the right, Luke tries to bring the car to the center of the line turning the steering wheel to the left. The speed and inertia take control of the car, it turns over once and again. When it comes to a stop, Luke and Emma are seen hanging in their safety belts, in shock, very uncomfortable but seemingly unhurt).
Emma: Luke, are you OK?
Luke: I don't know, my left arm is stuck in the wheel. What did you do? Why?
Emma: You didn't see? The big bird right in front of the windshield? Very big, white....
Luke: (slow, thinking back, trying to remember) No, I would've seen it, no....
Emma: I swear there was a bird, Luke....(she shakes her head, as if trying to dislodge something) Do you hear it? A very low hum, like an infrasound....
Luke: No, I hear sirens, police and ambulance. We are in deep shit.

In light of the recent disappearance of our members' threads, I suggest that when we include links or music here we also include titles and/or text that will allow us to reconstruct the complete scene. I hope this will not be necessary, but it's worth the precaution.

Street in the back of Dwayne's apartment.
Dwayne takes the laptop under his arm, looks around and seeing no cause for the alarm walks back the same way he came in, along the fence surrounding a vacant lot covered with debris and weeds. He turns into an alley between two buildings with big trash containers on both sides of the path.
Dwayne: Where were these motherfuckers hiding? If only I could see it. I know what the place looks inside, but where is it!
He is startled by the sudden appearance of a dog who jumps in front of him from the top of a trash container. It's a big mongrel; he looks emaciated. The dog holds something in his jaws and lifts his head looking at Dwayne.
Dwayne: Hey, what you got, shouldn't eat this stuff, it's rotten 'cause of the heat.
The dog walks closer and takes his place at Dwayne's left side.
Dwayne: They threw you away, eh? But you are definitely trained... Wish I could take you to the pound, but not now pal, I got something serious to do.
The dog follows alongside still holding something in his mouth, then he barks and turns to the right, blocking Dwayne.
Dwayne: (he almost falls over the dog) Shit, what if I've dropped my computer, you stupid mutt! You are just the ugliest dog ever!
The dog growls and lowering his head pushes something on the ground to Dwayne's feet.
Dwayne: OK, OK, what is it, let's see. (He bends his knees and looks at the thing the dog dropped.) That is something I've seen. ... There. ... That bearded man was walking with it. ... If you could talk, eh? But you can't. ...
The dog makes whining sound and walks back to the left of Dwayne, taking the same position as before.
Dwayne: Is that what I am thinking? You want to show me? Thanks, doggie.
(He leans to pet the dog. Moving his hand he sees a narrow chain collar with the small metal plate attached, hanging lose on the dog's neck) Bitzy, #1491. ... Alright, Bitzy, we'll find this place, but first let's go somewhere else. You will get a few bites there, I promise.

Erlemeyer stands before an iron gate and lifts the heavy brass knocker that is molded in shape of a hand. As he is about to knock for the third time a woman's voice calls from within, ¿Que es?
Erlemeyer: It's Chuck, Flor. Come let me in.
The door is opened by an attractive woman of about fifty. There are silver streaks in her dark hair, which is plaited into a single braid hanging across her right shoulder, reaching nearly to her waist. She wearing a paint smeared smock, there are smears of yellow paint on her flushed and sweaty face. Seeing Erlemeyer, she smiles, and, nervously,, her left hand reaches for her braid, leaving streaks of paint in her hair. She looks down at her hand, then at her braid, then at Erlemeyer and begins to laugh.
Flor: ahhhh Chuck Erlemeyer. I should be surprised.
Erlemeyer (smiling) And yet you are not.
Flor: Come in, come in, I am happy to see you, Chuck.
They enter Flor's courtyard, a large open space with a large lemon tree in the center, surrounded by various citrus trees in large pots, large green plants and flowers of every color. An aged wooden table, holds Flor's art supplies and a stack of paintings An easel is set up next to the table. On the easel is a half finished portrait of the large African Gray parrot that sits on a perch between the table and the house. Around the periphery of the courtyard are several wooden and metal perches of varying sizes and heights. On each sits a bird. Several other birds are flying free.
Erlemeyer: Flor, you know how I feel about this city. And yet, here I am. I am now a part of something that I do not fully understand. I need to speak with Pablo about these things. And you, too, Flor.
Flor (her smile fading): Uh, Chuck, Pablo and I are no longer together. He's gone off to New York, with one of his students, long story. It's been eight months, the painting helps.
Erlemeyer: Birds, I see.
Flor: Well, I have always loved birds. Pablo did not care much for them, said they were dirty and too much work. The first thing I did when he left was to get Dodi, the African Gray. I didn't buy the others, they just flew in here. And stayed.
Erlemeyer:Hmmm, they stay in this courtyard all the time?
Flor: Oh no. They leave and come back. There are many others that are not here now. They stay for a while, leave, come back. I don't know for sure what they do when they leave here, (she smiles a self conscious smile) but they tell me that they are off doing good works.
Erlemeyer walks over to the table and starts looking through the stack of paintings.
He stops, staring, when he comes to a painting of a bird that looks exactly like Zippy.
Erlemeyer: I'm sure they are, Flor.
I'm sure they are.
He turns and looks at Flor
Erlemeyer: Do the birds tell you anything else, Flor?
Flor: (looking at Dodi) Yes, the young ones tell me that they are afraid. The bigger ones tell me to hurry.
Listen: Manu Chao: Mr. Bobby
Sometimes I dream about reality
Sometimes I feel so gone
Sometimes I dream about a wild wild world
Sometimes I feel so lonesome
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency
Tonight I dream about fraternity
Tonight I say: one day!
One day my dreams will be reality
Like Bobby said to me
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency...
Tonight I watch through my window
And I can't see no lights
Tonight I watch through my window
And I can't see no rights

Cut to Yost's house
Cissy walks to the couch slightly limping. She sits on the couch, then gets up and starts to look for something around the room, moving things and getting angrier by the minute.
Cissy: Where is this fucking remote! (She finds it on the bookshelf and settles down on the couch, turning a small TV on. After switching few channels she smiles to herself). Yeah, jerks, do something useful for a change.
Excited voice of an announcer is heard from the TV
TV voice: We have our field team on the spot were a stranded whale was airlifted to the Sea World.
Reporter: The shear size of the animal makes it an unusual event in the otherwise customary beaching of whales in California as of late. Despite the bill recently signed into effect, the sonar use by the Navy?
Cissy's face shows sudden shock. She stands up and for a moment loses her balance. She stands still, than shakes her head.
Cissy: (confused, she speaks out loud, as someone who can't hear oneself) Shit, now the fucking ear infection!
She leaves the house, grabbing the car keys from the counter.

Inside the tent Adam looks between the different monitors, videos of various training sequences show paramilitary units clearing streets in an urban landscape, he watches as they enter buildings shooting men and women in stairways and doorways and being shot at through windows and skylights.
Man behind table: (tosses a t-shirt at Adam who catches it and holds it up to see the Urban Warfare Center logo) Step on up soldier! Fill out this card and you can go inside (he motions to his right and Adam sees a curtained entrance to the other room where he hears voices and more video gunfire) We got Call of Duty Four online right now, ever play that?
Adam: Not four, (he looks down at the card and steps up to the table, the man hands him a pen. Adam writes a name and pulls a slip of paper slightly out of his pocket with the number of Jacks Pizza on it. He writes that number next to his name, he hands it back to the man)
Man behind table: Good enough... Adam... Corolla is it? Welcome to Opsgear.
Adam draws aside the curtain and steps into the other room. Along one side is a long table set up with several computers being played by a group of boys with several others standing behind them laughing and shouting at the screens as some win and some lose. Out of the speakers come computer generated bursts of gunfire, RPG launches, screams and shouts from soldiers and their commanders as they mount repeated assaults through the urban street scenes of Afghanistan and Iraq. He is startled as on the other side of the dark room he hears another loud burst of gunfire and sees a fully geared soldier firing a weapon at a target on the far end of the room, he sees the bright colors of the paint balls exploding across the silhouette of a man.
Man with Gun: (surrounded by several older boys) Designed to replicate the actual weapon in every way except the round it fires, you'll be training with this exact model. Even the weight is the same so your arm and body experiences the same pressures save the recoil. But we give you that on the live range ( the older boys smile at each other)...
Adam turns around looking for Shaun and seeing he's not there quickly exits the back room and walks out the front to the sand. One of the men behind the desk calls after him.
Man behind table: Don't worry about the wait, rotation is mandatory!
Adam: (looking up and down the path and through the growing crowd of people walking along the long row of tents he sees Palaka, animated in a conversation with one of the vendors. He quickly turns around and ducks back around the corner walking back in front of the Electric tent, a couple of girls are trying on sunglasses. Looking down the row he sees the Arnette logo three tents down and heads for it.) Fuck Shaun, ditch me why don't you, where the fuck did you go?
Shaun walks toward the check-in tent and is suddenly surrounded by a group of kids, mostly girls, who've been waiting in the area for autographs, several small pads and pens are thrust in front of him and he begins signing. He smiles as one girl caresses his arm, another reaches up and touches his hair. He hands back an autograph to a boy his age who puts out hit fist for Shaun to pound, he does.
Boy: Thanks dude!
From behind he feels an arm reach around and hug him across his chest, the other hand reaches out and pushes away the remaining pads and pens and pulls him back into the tent.
Shaun: (twisting his head back to see who it is) Mom! You came!
Tina: Of course I came Shaunie, I wouldn't miss this day for the world. (she turns him around looks down at his smiling face) I saw you and Mitch just now, I was going to come over but it looked like he was getting on your case about something.
Shaun: Yeah, what else is new.
Tina: He loves you Shaun.
Shaun: Funny way of showing it... Dad will be here pretty soon!
Tina: With his girlfriend?
Shaun: Kai? (he looks down) I got 'em breakfast, she leaves on tour today (he looks up at her) you know she's a pro?
Tina: A pro?
Shaun: Yeah, Pro Surfer, she got a ride on the Billabong circuit. She'll be gone for about three months I think, wish I was goin.
Tina: That sounds like a good thing... well maybe not for Butchie... (they look at each other, then away awkwardly, she motions toward the desk where officials are checking in several young surfers) Do you need to tell them you're here or something?
Shaun: Yeah, I might as well, do you want to help me? (big grin)
Tina: Sure I do Shaun.

Shaun and Adam walk into a tent displaying the rainbow lightening bolt logo of Electric sunglasses.
Shaun: (takes a pair off the rack and puts them on looking at Adam) Hifi's ,volt, grey fade. These are nice.
Adam: They're cool. I like Arnettes
Shaun: They'll have a tent here.
Vendor: Hey dudes, what up?, (recognizing Shaun) Hey, it's Shaun Yost the miracle man! ( Shaun looks at Adam and rolls his eyes) Dude, you're awesome! Man, you like those HiFi's? They look good on you. Take 'em dude they're yours. Take a pair for your bro too.
Shaun: Really?
Vendor: Dude, nothing would make my boss happier than to see you sporting those this weekend.
Adam: You mean for free? (He starts trying on different pairs)
Shaun: Cool.
Adam chooses a pair and looks at Shaun for approval
Shaun: Definitely.
Vendor: Black and red VHF's, nice choice bro!
Shaun:(Looks at Adam and they both nod at each other) Well, thanks dude, we're gonna head on. Catch you later.
Vendor: Awesome man, Hey, good luck today, can't wait to see you tear it up! The honeys are everywhere today.
Shaun smiles. He walks out next to Adam who is looking up at the sky, Shaun looks up as well.
Adam: UV dude. This is awesome, do you get hooked up with free shit all the time?
Shaun: (shrugs) I don't know. Do you hear that?
Adam: What, again? Dude!
Shaun: No not that, the blat blaat.
Adam: (turns his head to the side) Yeah, sounds like someone's bustin out the Mac Ten. It's coming from there. (he points to a double wide tent of black and grey camouflage vinyl)
Shaun and Adam walk around the front of the tent and stop suddenly as they see two fully geared paramilitary soldiers standing like guards flanking the opening. Inside the darkened tent they see several large flat screen monitors flashing with the action of explosive gunfire and explosions.
Above the entrance is a large logo of what looks like a spade or spear tip in a hexagon, beneath it the name OPSGEAR.COM. On the back wall behind the men behind the table is a triangle with an upright sword dividing it's center. Beneath it, the words Urban Warfare Center.
Adam: Cool!
Adam steps inside and doesn't notice as Shaun is pulled back by a hand grabbing the back of his t-shirt. Shaun spins around and sees it is Mitch who grabbed him.
Mitch: I don't want you going in there Shaunie. (Mitch looks at one of the soldiers) I don't know who let you guys set up here but this is a surfing contest in case you didn't notice.
Shaun: I just wanted to watch the video.
Mitch: Yeah right, you watch the video and the next thing they got you signing up. You're here to surf. That's what you wanted right? Have you checked in yet? Do you even have any of your gear Shaun?
Shaun: (pulls back from Mitch readjusting his t-shirt on his shoulders) It's too early to check in! Sammie's bringing my boards down in his dads car. I'm meeting him.
Mitch: Well you don't need to be distracted by this bullshit.
Opsgear soldier: Sir!
Mitch: (angry) Back off, I make the decisions for this minor. You guys need a few good fourteen year olds now, is that what you're down too? (he pulls Shaun away and leads him by the arm toward the grandstand) Don't let your mind be clouded Shaun, focus on the water, the air, the waves. Have you even looked at the break yet? Go over and check in now. Then take some time and find a place to meditate like I showed you.
Shaun: (angry) I was just hanging with my friend Adam...where's Grams?
Mitch: Your grandmother is not feeling well and may not even make it down here today. Just do what I say. I suppose Butchie isn't here either. And wher'd you get the sunglasses, let me guess, some two bit tent carnie gave 'em to ya, Right?
Shaun: (he puts his hands up to his sunglasses) So. May dad's coming, he's eating breakfast I got him.
Mitch: You got him? That figures. That should be his job shouldn't it...
Shaun: (pulls his arm away from Mitch) I can check in by myself. (Mitch stops and Shaun walks away angry) and I can buy my dad breakfast if I want to... You should try it sometime.

Shaun jumps the curb on his skateboard as he and Adam arrive at the pier. Seeing Linc walking down the pier toward them Shaun waves and they walk up the pier a ways to meet him.
Shaun: (to Adam) Do you hear that weird noise?
Adam: I been hearing it all morning, I thought it was in my head.
Linc: Where you been buddy? You missed all the action, they just hauled one big mother of a whale outta here.
Shaun: We saw it. What are they gonna do with it?
Linc: Sea World is trying to save it.
Shaun: That's cool.
Linc: (puts a hand out to Adam) Hey, I'm Linc Stark, do you surf?
Adam: (reluctantly takes his hand) When I can.
Linc: I'll have to take a look at you sometime. So, Shaunie, is your dad here yet, we're gonna start the junior heats in about an hour.
Shaun: He'll be here. He's havin' breakast. Have you seen my Grams and Gramps?
Linc: Not yet.
Shaun: Do you hear that weird sound?
Linc: (looking back up the pier) Sound? (he listens for a moment and shakes his head) I don't hear anything but the sound equipment has been busting my balls all morning. We had to hard wire everything cause the wireless is dead.
Shaun: Anyway, we're headin' down to the tents. (turns to Adam) let's go.
Linc: Get loosened up before you hit the water. And watch what you say to the vampires! Tell it on the waves!
Shaun raises a shaka back to Linc as they jump down to the sand and start to walk toward the tents.

Dr. Sanders stands at the waters edge shielding her eyes as the huge helicopter hovers overhead. Her team of divers stand ready across the tanks compound waiting her instructions. She shouts into the walkie talkie to the pilot as the he steadily lowers the whale down in to the tank. As soon as it reaches the water the divers jump in en masse on her command. Colonel Roman watches through the windows as his team finishes setting up their computers. A three man team in wetsuits holding several suitcases of equipment stand at his side.
Colonel Roman: (to the team leader) This is a government asset lieutenant, I want to be up and running in ten minutes, her divers on one side and your team on the other. Time is of the essence. (the three men turn and exit the building in front of Dr. Sanders who is forced to hold the door for them as they leave)
Dr. Sanders: (angrily entering and walking up to the colonel) What are you doing? My team is to be given priority until she is acclimated.
Colonel Roman: Intelligence, Ms. Sanders, has no higher authority nor priority. My team will not interfere with yours unless facts determine its necessity.
Dr. Sanders: Facts? You mean military interpretations of facts, adjusted and edited to fit some short sighted end game already scripted and encrypted in your machinery! (she waves her hand at the array of equipment his men are hurriedly setting next to her own)(exasperated) I don't have time for this. If this poor creature dies you will have no facts at all! (she turns and walks over to a line of researchers sitting in front of several monitors just in front of the windows, The whale is completely submerged but still in its harness which the divers are beginning to detach. She puts her cell phone to her ear looking back to see that the colonel is out of earshot) Mr. Cunningham, are you still there?
Cut to Snug Harbor
Barry is standing in the courtyard surrounded by people noisily talking and some clamoring to get his attention. He puts his finger in his ear to better hear the voice in his cell phone.
Barry: Yes Evelyn I am still here, it is a pleasure to hear from you. Do you have a message for me? (He struggles to listen for a moment and then looks at his phone and presses the end button. Looking alarmed he turns to Meyer Dickstein) I am needed. Might I prevail on you, Mr. Dickstein, transport to Sea World?
Meyer: (surprised) Sea World, now? Don't you think you should rest?
Barry: I am feeling strangely revived. A matter of some urgency requires it. Since you have so expertly provided today, as captain, I would ask that you continue our passage. Ramon, I trust you and the good doctor will see to the accommodations of our very many guests?
Ramon: (baffled) I don't know that we got rooms for everyone here.
Barry: There is always room enough at the Snug Harbor. A motto perhaps?
Ramon: I'll write that down when I get back in the office.
Meyer: Might not be defensible if used for advertising I would caution.
Daphne: (Standing behind Meyer) Have you looked for the Lexus lately?
Meyer: (turning around and looking down the driveway) Not now Daphne, my services are required in a matter of importance and why would I look for the... (turns back to Barry and Ramon and the Doctor) Gentlemen, my car is missing.
Ramon: Maybe the hippies borrowed it.
Meyer: I was thinking more the likes of Butchie's acquaintance.
Barry: (pulls his keys out of his pocket and dangles them before Meyer) If my memory is not completely of another realm I believe my vehicle should be parked around here somewhere.
Ramon: It's beside the office, (smiling) I washed it.
Barry: (looks at Ramon warmly) Thank you Ramon. (they turn toward the office and Barry turns to face the people around him) Please make your needs known to my faithful first man Ramon. He will arrange your accommodations. I will return soon and we can all enjoy each others gift of company. I have a tale I may regale you with under the light (he looks up at the lighthouse atop the flagpole) tonight.
Ramon opens the passenger door and as Barry leans down to get in he sees Teddy buckled in the seat.
Barry: Teddy!
Ramon: He didn't want to be left behind.
Barry: (sitting down and taking Teddy to his lap) Teddy has a way of getting what he wants.
As Meyer and Barry back out carefully to leave Ramon and Dr. Smith direct people to stand aside. The car makes its way down the driveway and out onto the street.
Ramon: Which ones get the new rooms, there's only a few?
Dr. Smith: (suddenly remembering) I took a reservation, for nine rooms!
Ramon: (looking curious at Dr. Smith) You did?
Dr. Smith: Just a minute ago, I felt compelled suddenly, and stepped in the office just as the phone rang. A strange call. They asked for Barry by name. The Monads, vacationing from Cincinnati.
Ramon: Must be some friends of his. Nine Rooms! Exactly how many we got renovated plus Butchie's and yours.
