(you probably know this, but I dont fint thread for this).

The Avatar shooting script has now been publicly released.
http://avatar.pocitac.com/download/JamesCameronAVATAR.pdf

- it might be good for translators (there are also non-subtitled parts), e.g.:

QuoteNEYTIRI
(in Na'vi)
Forgive me, my brother.

She cuts its throat, ending the pitiful cries. She touches
its head gently, regarding it with sadness.
Neytiri wipes the knife and returns it to the sheath at her
waist. She crosses to another slain wolf and kneels, pulling
the arrow from its heart.


JAKE
Look, um, I know you probably don't
understand this. But -- thanks. Thank
you. I owe you.

Neytiri ignores him, assuming a prayer posture over the dead
animal.


NEYTIRI
(in Na'vi)
Forgive me. May your spirit run with the
Great Mother.


JAKE
I would have been screwed if you hadn't
come along --

She rises and walks away without looking at Jake.

JAKE
Hey, wait. Wait! Where you goin'?

Acordint to this script (and other sources) there was a few (lot) deleted scenes.

What I found the most interesting was note about sister of Neytiri - Silwanin
(more info - http://bit.ly/8T38hU)

--
notes about her:

QuoteThe scenes where Jake wakes up, the exchange in the mess hall (actually, it's called the "commissary") and Jake's report to Quaritch and Selfridge were filmed with only minor changes. The subplot about Grace's former school - riddled with bullet holes, continues in an extended version of the scene where Grace is quizzing Jake about the Omaticaya's hierarchy:

      He hauls himself from wheelchair to Link.

      JAKE
      Who's got a date with the chief's
      daughter?

      GRACE
      Knock it off. Jesus, it's like
      kindergarten around here.

      As Jake settles into the soft embrace of the link, Grace inputs commands at the control station.

      GRACE
      Neytiri was my best student. She and her
      sister Silwanin. Just amazing girls.

      JAKE
      I didn't meet the sister.

      GRACE
      (quietly)
      No, she's dead.
      (turning to him)
      Okay, let's go -- village life starts early.

--

QuoteMuch more significantly, the minor subplot about Neytiri's dead sister is brought to a head:

      Jake scans the pictures tacked up around Grace's workstation.

      JAKE
      What did happen at the school?

      GRACE looks up from making coffee. Her eyes track across the pictures of the laughing children. Finally --

      GRACE
      Neytiri's sister -- Sylwanin -- stopped
      coming to school. She was angry about
      the clear-cutting.

      GRACE sips her coffee, grimaces at the taste.

      GRACE
      One day, she and a couple of other young
      hunters came running in, all painted up --
      they'd set a bulldozer on fire -- I guess
      they thought I could protect them.

      GRACE'S voice stays oddly CALM as he tells this terrible story, while getting MILK out of the refrigerator.

      GRACE
      The troopers pursued them to the
      schoolhouse.

      MACRO as she pours the milk -- her hand is SHAKING.

      GRACE
      They killed Sylwanin in the doorway.
      Right in front of Neytiri. Then shot the
      others.
      (mildly)
      I got most of the kids out, before they
      shot me.

      JAKE
      Jesus.

      GRACE
      Yeah.

      Jake realizes that Grace is on the verge of tears and desperately trying to hide it.

      GRACE
      A scientist stays objective -- we can not
      be ruled by emotion. But I poured ten
      years of my life into that school. They
      called me sa'atenuk. Mother.
      (turning to him)
      That kind of pain reaches back through
      the link.

A few lines later, Grace says, "It's not our world, Jake. And we can't stop what's coming."

We were already talking about her sister here and here. I don't think a 3rd thread is needed, sorry.

Kaltxi!

I actually think a thread specifically for this topic is an alright idea. The second link you have there is solid for discussion as well, but for the first one it is off-topic (as much as I like).

But I digress. I suppose people will post whatever they want, wherever they want though. It's so rambunctious in here! ;)

On topic: Thanks for posting a bit of the scenes. I didn't have the heart to read them in the other threads, I was worried it would be a little over-the-top emotionally. As if the movie isn't emotionally charged enough!  :o

I really hope this scene, in some incarnation, makes it to the DVD/Blu-ray. It really paints a better picture of how little the humans care about the natives.

<MulleDK19> it ended with: "Death of a wheelchair - On the road since 1250"

This isn't the production script for the finished product. This is an earlier version from 2007.
