Does anyone know of a site where you can go to try and find out a “transcript” of a particular scene in a movie? I am currently interested particularly in The Usual Suspects but it’s mostly a reference question.

Also an excellent site:

[Drew’s Script-O-Rama](http://www.script-o-rama.com).

He gets around the illegality of reproducing copyrighted material by posting links only. Quite a clearing-house of material you won’t find elsewhere.

If he only posts links, isn’t it really a clearing-house of material that you **will** find elsewhere? 🙂
