ID 1: A tweet by Jason Weight @/aJasonWeight that reads -
Grimmons was to be a genuine character arc in my s18. I would've had so much fun with that season. [cut off dropbox link]
The quote retweet, also by Jason reads: The moment that baby dissolves I'm sharing all my unmade scripts. End ID 1.
Images 2-5 are screenshots of scripts, transcribed below the cut.
ID 2: A screenshot of a script that reads -
Int. Observation Deck - Day
Simmons watches a star-fighter escort them through the window. After a moment, from his POV, his thumb and forefinger pinch it.
Simmons: (explosion noises)
Enter Grif. Simmons snaps back to a normal pose.
Grif: Dick my neck is fucking killing me.
Simmons: Uh huh.
Grif: I think it's the work, you know. Workin' too much.
Simmons is trying not to look interested.
Simmons: (beat) Do you drink coffee when you work?
Grif: Mostly as a vehicle for cream but yeah. Why do you wanna to know that?
Simmons: Forget it.
Beat.
Simmons: (con't) Magnesium.
Grif: What?
Simmons: Caffeine impairs magnesium absorption. I got wicked back-ache from peeling potatoes til I switched. To decaf.
Grif: Why don't I know that you get back aches?
Simmons: Why would you? End ID 2.
ID 3: A screenshot of a script that reads -
They stare out the window silently.
Grif: You know that's the longest conversation we've had in a year.
Simmons: (laughs bitterly) So you can't read body language.
Grif: Huh?
Simmons: I don't have to be your friend. Okay? It's easier if I'm just not.
Grif: You're such a nard! Why do you take every little fucking thing so serious?
Look of disbelief from Simmons. Grif avoids it.
Grif: (con't) (beat) We used to be pretty close.
Through the window, two escorts in formation. Symmetry.
Grif: (con't) It's because (when)
Simmons: It's because when the Tower of Procreation was activated we had sex with each other -
Grif: (con't) I knew you'd be weird about it!
Enter Sister.
Sister: What are you guys talking about?
Simmons: Nothing.
Grif: Simmons thinks oral counts as sex.
Sister: Simmons is right.
Simmons: Let me feel weird! End ID 3.
ID 4: A screenshot of a script that reads -
Grif: (annoyed beat) Okay, if theoretically a magic spell made me and Simmons perform sex acts on each other -
Simmons: Hey!!
Grif: - does it count as like - I mean, should Simmons be weird about it?
Sister: Oddly specific. No, I don't think so. I don't think it counts. In fact it'd be pretty fucked up. Theoretically.
Grif: Thank you.
Simmons: You don't know.
Sister: But from what I hear it was called the Temple of Procreation, i.e. reproduction.
Grif & Simmons look at each other, confused.
Simmons: What's she saying?
Sister: I'm saying whatever happened in that storage closet had nothing to do with the heterosexual temple energy. And if, say, you two were already in love with each other it sure would make things weird, if you were compelled to screw before confessing your feelings. (Beat.) And maybe you think you feel weird about the temple because of its creepy sex magic but in truth you wanted to do it. Maybe you did it because you thought you'd never get to again. Maybe you were on the same page. (More.) End ID 4.
ID 5: A screenshot of a script that reads -
Sister: (con't) Maybe because you're in a weird macho military unit, where being square is so at the forefront you all call each other by your last names, (tough voice) Grif, Simmons (voice) - you're not allowed your own feelings. Hey Simmons buddy you're turning red.
Grif: That's just his armor!
Sister: Being tough means confronting shit. Especially if you're scared of it. (Walking away.) Food for thought.
Simmons & Grif stare out the window.
ok well since everyones posting the script without jasons permission i guess i will too. heres the full thing (hoping its fine with him😭) its so good
