That could be "Well, up till the punching, it was a real nice party."

Funny but (probably) easy one: "First position shepherd visiting is the spring. His read-only this paragraph, and he has adopted it in the transaction we two."

I'm pointin' right at it!

Something like "The last shepherd to come through here was springtime. He only read the one passage, and he took it in trade off both of us." Or something of the sort. I'm sorry about the vagueness. Here (long but easy):

"Comes day there not to be able to be the room we slips fundamentally for the mischievous photograph. This works south, cannot very good there be in addition. Then this we, in some broken edges."

Come a day there may not be room for naughty folk like us to sneak around. This job goes south there may well not be another. So here's us, on the raggedy edge

"Yeah, 'cept I'm lookin' at some fair compellin' evidence says they do. Or maybe there's more went down here than you're lettin' on?"

Nice one. Here:

"And she can be one true censures the young child regarding this, also is."

Kinda hard, but there it is.

Kinda easy, but here it is. :)

"She could be a real brat about it, too."

N.B. A friend of mine just called me a "CHEATER!!", because I verified the result with babelfish. I'm a mite confused about that. It's not like feeding babelfish the line "And she can be one true censures the young child regarding this, also is." is really helping me one jot, is it??

The way it works, is that you have to know the anser first, so you can feed the original line to babelfish, before babelfish is of actual use to you. So, how does me knowing the answer upfront make me a cheat?? In fact, I've always considered a politeness to double-check on what you think is the answer. If misunderstood the nature of the game, then I'm truly sorry, and I'll go back to just posting guesses.

I don't consider checking your answer to be cheating. Neither do I think using the online scripts to get the quote right is cheating (although the latter doesn't always work if the quote in question wasn't in the shooting script).

Thanks for sayin'.

In the beginning of this thread, I thought it was even more or less implied that you verified your answer (which is actually quite a cumbersome procedure). Cuz I believe DesktopHippe set it up in such a way that you needed to supply the correct answer, and then immedialy post a new one. I even got into trouble a mite for having the audacity to wait for confirmation. :) Things got a little more loose during the game; and now I just usually blur out an answer if I think I know it. But for the last one, for instance, I tend to double-check. After all, a wrong answer, apart from being embarrassing, also tends to muck things up, as other people already start posting new ones, whereas the old one has not been properly answered yet.

As for shooting scripts, or any online script, I agree there, too. If you know the answer, and are just looking to get the phrasing right, I see no harm in that, either (well, actually I do, lol, in that the wording in shooting scripts has an insidious way of being slightly different from what was aired; but that's another matter).
