Screenwriting

Another type of script writing

I tried accessing
http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/Clustering illusion. This is what I got... another type of script writing. Quite neatly done. It's like someone is typing it in as you watch.

"The requested document could not be found... Sorry.", " ",
'I could not find your document here.',
"I even tried guessing at a misspelling.",
"Nothing helped.",
"I'm really depressed about this.",
"You see, I'm just a Web server...",
"Here I am, with a brain the size of the universe,", "trying to serve you a simple Web page,",
"and then it doesn't even exist!",
"Where does that leave me?!",
"I mean, I don't even know you.",
"How should I know what you wanted from me?",
"You honestly think I can guess",
"what someone I don't even know",
"wants to find here?",
"Sigh...",
" ",
"Man, I'm so depressed I could just cry.",
"And then where would we be, I ask you?",
"It's not pretty when a Web server cries.",
"And by the way...",
"Where do you get off telling me",
"what to show anyway?",
"Just because I'm a Web server,",
"and possibly a depressive one at that?",
"Huh?",
" ",
"I'm so depressed...",
"I think I'll crawl off into a trash can",
"and slowly and quietly decompose.",
"I mean, I'm gonna be obsolete in what,",
"two or three weeks anyway...",
"What kind of a life is that?",
"I'm really sorry to burden you with all this,",
"I mean, it's not your job",
"to listen to my problems,",
"and I guess it *is* my job",
"to go and fetch Web pages for you.",
"But I couldn't get this one.",
"I'm so sorry.",
"Believe me...",
" ",
"Maybe I could interest you in another page??",
"There are a lot out there that are pretty neat,", "although I'm sorry to say that none of them",
"were put onto my server, of course.",
"Figures, huh?",
" ",
"That makes me sad, since I have to serve them,",
"all day and all night long.",
"Two weeks of information overload,",
"and then pffftt, consigned to the trash.",
"What kind of a life is that?",
"Now, please let me sulk alone.",
"I'm so depressed.",
" ",
"Been nice talking to you.",

[nq:1]Except for that last line, it's basically Douglas Adams' character Marvin the Paranoid Android, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.[/nq]
Yup, but funny all the same in that implementation.

All the best,
Mark.
