Ooooh!

Apparently back in season two, Jeff Eastin would occasionally post individual script pages from White Collar to his Twitter as a preview/teaser of the next week's episode - which is kind of awesome anyway as a writing-process thing; I was completely fascinated by the revision notes - you can see several of them at this tag at whitecollar_tv. ANYWAY. One of the pages is from the shooting script of "What Happens in Burma", an excerpt from the Peter-Neal conversation at the end, and it has more dialogue than actually made it into the episode, including a really strong hint at the origins of Neal's hatred of guns. :D :D :D

The script page is here.

( This is kinda spoilery for the show in general, so under the cut )

Oh, here's another cool thing - want to read the original pilot script for White Collar? Here it is - scroll down to "White Collar". It's kind of fascinating, because nearly all the character byplay is still there, but a ton of the specific details of setting and character and plot are different. The show was set in San Diego, Peter's last name was Stokes and his wife's name was Debbie. And the earliest version of Mozzie has to be read to be believed. (I gather they were going for something along the lines of "burned-out beatnik paranoid survivalist".)
