Quick answer
What this page settles
A working script is a live-control document, not a wall of polished paragraphs. Use this page to create a programme where each audience receives meaning without every line being repeated. The working record is language-by-moment grid, name recordings and approved meaning blocks; the main failure to prevent is line-by-line translation doubling time and flattening emotion.
