So I mentioned this a while ago, so I suppose I should UPDATE THE UNIVERSE:
My grandmother fell some weeks ago and cracked her tail bone. This I have already reported.

The important thing I was told though (by someone who does this sort of work) was to first start out by picking up a few scripts and read along on them while watching the finished product.
I have several scripts I picked up at Half-Price books, and some really big movies have screenplays published as well. I'm sure you can find them at Borders or Barnes and Noble... or if you're more for Amazon, there are going to be tons there, of course.
I've got a couple of people I watch on Twitter, also. At least one of them is a valuable resource, because he posts one line hints fairly frequently. If you want names, I can probably dig them up later, as well.
Edit:
Also- this same resource also told me... since you already know what you're doing, make sure you find resources for film scripts. Because film and TV scripts are two wildly different things, and have their own styles.

Joe Mallozzi's blog - he's the producer behind Stargate Atlantis, and the one behind many of its scripts. He'll sometimes talk about his writing in it, but he's also open to questions, so he answers comments in the mailbag. He's the one who gave me the author to read up on, and to pick up a few scripts already.
Also, two of the twitters, I follow:
