Mostly for Alicey, but really for everyone: The Script to Return of the King! *saves*

(Edit: Ah! So it’s confirmed that the elf is Figwit? Score! I am so right!)

Further Edit: Ah, reading this transcription conjures memories of seeing RotK with Alicey and Mags. While we waited for the movies to start, Alicey taught me a few words in elementary sign language. “Good,” “bad,” “thank you,” “sexy,” etc. She had me stop writing a direct transcript early on in the movie, as she found she could understand what was going on without my frenzied secretarying, but as anyone would expect, there were some details that could not be gleaned from visual clues alone. As Gandalf told Pippin of the mercenary ships making their way to Osgiliath and Minas Tirith, she turned to me, puzzled. The sign language gesture for “bad” was all that was necessary to keep her abreast of the new plot developments. As the movie went on, she taught me the gestures for “brave,” which I used on Sam, and “cute,” which I abused on Merry and Pippin. Now I really want to learn more Sign Language. It’s just so nifty! *goes back to reading*
