Notes: Scene totals may be less then then the sum of character lines due combined speech. The original source may be found here. As little alteration as possible was made to the source, though obvious formatting errors were corrected. Charactar assigntations for group speech (ALL etc.) are my own however. In cases of ambiguity, I include all characters in the scene. Line counts may not always be an accurate indication of length, as prose speeches are counted as a single line. Be aware that characters who appear in a scene without speaking parts are not represented in the grid above.
