Finding the Script

My acting partner and I wanna do a scene from this for our class, but I can't find a script anywhere on-line. I have been able to find a transcript of the dialog, but I'm not looking forward to re-formatting it so that we can actually read it. I know I could go and buy a copy of it, but besides being rather broke, that only takes care of one of us having the script; I'd still have to photocopy it for her. Anybody know where I can download it?

P.S. I already tried Drew's Script-o-Rama.

The only place I could find the script was in a site that compacted all the dialogue and didn't note who was saying what. It also botched some of the lines. If you just want to do a scene, you could watch the movie and write it out by hand. The only problem with that might be in being too influenced by how those actors played it. Maybe the library would have a copy?

Oh my god, the turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!

Although this is too late, for what it's worth, the play is owned by Samuel French. I think you can get perusal copies.
