Ok silly question:

You're at a party lets say a dinner party to keep the numbers small.
The guests include:

You - (star attraction for y'know you being you)
Your best friend.
A fox executive
A film critic.
The girl/guy of your dreams
and the host... JJ Abrams (Lost co-creator)

There's a knock at the door when! Woah! Joss walks in, with Morena Baccarin.

Now as the night goes on the party becomes somewhat wild. The fox exec is in the pool drinking champagne and your best friend and his/her partner are in there with him.
The film critic, JJ Abrams and Morena are sitting on the stairs having a heavy conversation about Hitchcocks use of the camera as 'voyeur' in many of his films and the man/woman of your dreams is on the sofa talking to Joss and becoming a little bit drunk.

After what seems like a wasted effort on your part in getting everyone to join you on the dance floor for some fine vintage breakdancing you give up and pick at the left-overs on the table, when you spy, in Joss' bag..... the Wonderwoman script! You seize the moment and snatch the manuscript from the bag and head to the bathroom where you proceed to read the script in privacy!

It is brilliant! Beyond what you'd hoped. Witty, sexy, dramatic and full of great one-liners. There's even a cast list and, yup! Morena is Wonderwoman and Nathan's name is mentioned as the role for the bad guy. Fantastic!!

Full of beans you head back out to the party where everyone is freaking out because Joss has thrown a fit! His script is missing, and everyone is looking for it!

What do you do? Bearing in mind you've been gone so long it'll look like you stole it or at least read it. Going against, as you know, Joss' wishes! So do you:

(1) Take Joss aside and tell him you took it to read on the toilet! and incure his obvious wrath.
(2)Join in and pretend to look for it.
(3)Ditch your friends and sneak out the toilet window, with script in hand.
(4)Go upstairs to JJ's office and leave it on his desk - leaving him to take the blame and subsequent shame, rendering him a thief never to work in Hollywood again and therefore never finding out what exactly happens in Lost.
(5) Befriend the fox executive and try and have him smooth things over with Joss. Some chance!
(6) Distract the man/woman of your dreams and drop it into their bag and then tell Joss you suspect him/her for having nicked it.
(7) Or grab Morena, tell her the good news and then let her evident glee allude to the fact that maybe she stole it.
(8) Your choice.....?

(9) March down and say "Oh, erm, we were out of toilet paper, sorry..."

Not that I think a Joss script is worthy of toilet paper...

I just couldn't resist.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

10) Wait till nobody's looking and slip it back into Joss' bag. After a decent interval, say innocently, "Joss, are you *sure* it's not where you left it?" (Idea stolen from Sherlock Holmes)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree on any particular point.

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

11) Secretly plant the script in the fox exec's bag/briefcase and hint to Joss that Fox might have stolen it either out of spite or out of an inability to come up anything without him

1st join in and start looking...

Push the Fox exec. out the Window (2nd story) as he is looking for the script in the window flower box. Why the flower box? He's/She's an idiot...

Yell at JJ claiming he must of stole it... ME, "Get lost!!!"

Turn to film critic, "Say, was that 1 star u gave Serenity?" Film Critic "Well I...." *a brawl immediatley breaks out between Joss and Critic* The kind with a cloud of dust and random stars and fists poppin' out.

I turn to Morena and the girl of my dreams ... "Good news ladies, drinks on me!"
Head out the door to live happily ever after

My best friend, "Hello... could somebody bring me a cocktail? u know, significant shrinkage."

I'd accidentally on purpose knock Joss's bag over, after first putting the script underneath.

Then I'd frown at him for not casting Gina Torres as Wonder Woman, and have him *wonder* (lol) why I was frowning at him all night. :)
