Screenplays | No, no, that's too limited nobody in Hollywood wants to work with you either (Tootsie; writing credit: Larry Gelbart; Don McGuire) Go with the real guy, honey, we're limited. (The Purple Rose of Cairo; writing credit: Woody Allen.) Your understanding of politics is limited to who won the election on 'Sesame Street' (Saved by the Bell; writing credit: Ana Maria Moretzsohn) Humans have got such limited little minds (Doctor Who; writing credit: Basil Caplan; Martin Defalco) These disks I hold are they a record of what will be, or only of what may? For if the future is indeed immutably foretold, then my demise is but moments away from that confirmation -- for I could not live if not the master of my fate! But, if indeed the future can be changed -- if these disks record only one path of all the myriad ways the cosmos might conform -- then their power is infinate! And yet, still limited, for they could be used but once -- and then in that change be rendered fiction forever more (Beast Wars: Transformers; writing credit: Bob Forward; Lawrence G. DiTillio) | |
