This was for a competition held by SimplyScripts.com.  The script had to cover these three parameters within 48 hours:

• Sci-Fi, Courtroom, Valentine's Day

You can view the site and feedback here:

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1521490638/

I'm going to rewrite this without the courtroom scene.  I had to cut many scenes out just to make the five page requirements.

I'm going to turn this into an original episode.  If you're wanting to see the revised piece, let me know.
