I've been going "The Notebook" crazy this whole week, but I don't care. I love that movie. So bite me. Here is the script from the Notebook. It's not the WHOLE script but it's all the narrator's parts...
Noah/Duke: Alright now, where did we leave off? Oh yeah, yeah, it was the night of the carnival. Noah was there with his friends Fin and Sara. That's where they met. June 6th, 1940. Allie was 17 years old.
(Story starts)
Noah/Duke: Southern summers are indifferent to the trials of young love, armed with warnings and doubts, Noah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing betrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road with no regards of the consequences.
Allie: They fell in love didn't they?
Noah/Duke: Yes, they did.
Allie: Good, I like these kind of stories, go on
(Story continues)
Noah/Duke: After that night, Allie and Noah spent every waking hour together. Soon they were inseparable.
(Story continues)
Noah/Duke: It was an improbable romance. He was a country boy, she was from the city. She had the world at her feet, while he didn't have two dimes to rub together.
(Story continues)
Noah/Duke: They didn't agree on much. In fact they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time, and they challenged each other everyday. But despite their differences they had one important thing in common. They were crazy about each other.
(Story continues)
(Allie and Noah fight. Allie breaks up with Noah and Noah goes home.)
Noah/Duke: The next day Allie woke up to find her world completely changed.
(Allie leaves town)
Noah/Duke: Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done they have one thing in common. They are shooting stars. A spectacular moment of light in the heavens. A fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone... Noah was desperate. He wrote to Allie that he was sorry and stupid for breaking up with her. He wrote to tell her that he still loved her, and that he wanted to see her, and that if she would write back he would come to wherever she was. He wrote one letter a day for a year. Three hundred and sixty five letters. But they all went unanswered. Finally after a year of silence he decided to put it all behind him and start a new life. So he wrote a farwell letter, and he and Fin packed their bags and headed for Atlanta.
(Story continues)
Noah/Duke: Noah and Fin enlisted together, and after two years of chasing robbers through the North African desert, they were deployed to Patens Third Army in Europe
(Story continues)
Noah/Duke: Allie was in her third year of college when she volunteered as a nurse’s aid. To her the broken men with shattered bodies who filled the ward, were all Noah, or someone who fought beside him in the jungle, or frozen snow-swept road.
(Story continues)
(Allie meets Lon. Lon asks Allie out on a date)
Noah/Duke: Allie was surprised how quickly she fell in love with Lon Hammond. He was handsome, smart, funny, sophiscated, charming. He also came from old southern money, and was fabulously wealthy.
(Lon proposes to Allie)
Noah/Duke: She agreed with all her heart, but couldn't understand. Why at the very moment she said yes, Noah's face came to her mind.
(Noah comes back from the war and agreed to start building the Windsor Plantation.)
Noah/Duke: Noah took a look at the house but only saw one thing. Allie. He decided, right there, to fulfill his life-long dream. He would rebuild the old house from the ground, up. And when Noah went to Charleston to get his building plans approved, fate stepped in, and dealt him a sweet card.
(Story continues)
(Noah sees Allie in the window kissing Lon)
Noah/Duke: After seeing Allie that day something inside Noah snapped. He got the notion into his head that if he restored the old house where they had come that night, Allie would find a way to come back to him. Some called it a labor of love, others called it something else, but in fact, Noah had gone a little mad.
(Story continues)
(Noah's father dies)
Noah/Duke: When Noah's father died in November, the house was all he had. In time Noah finished the house. He took a good look at what he had accomplished. Got rip-roaring drunk for ten days, thought seriously about setting the house on fire, and finally put the house up for sale. He had a number of interested buyers, but he always found a reason not to sell it to them. Either their bids were to low, or if they met his asking price. He felt the house was worth alot more.
(Story continues)
(Man offers $5,000 over his price for the house)
Noah/Duke: He told the man that offered him $5,000 over his price that no one in his right mind would do that, and he wouldn't have a lunatic living in his house.

(Allie leaves crying. Trying hard to decide who she should spend the rest of her life with. Allie picks up the last letter that Noah wrote, and reads)
“My dearest Allie, I couldn't sleep last night because I know that its over between us. I'm not bitter anymore because I know what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more. That plants a fire in our hearts, and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you've given me, and that why I'd hope to give you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
