As promised, here is a small preview of the script. The final script will be delivered in a PDF format, as it will be easier to read in that format, but for the sake of storage space, this small segment will appear here in the actual post.
This small bit of the script comes directly at the beginning of the story and represents about half of the pre-title sequence to the story.
STUDIO LOGOS
EXT. MISSION BEACH, AUSTRALIA - NIGHT
JAMES BOND sits in a small, rickety, wooden boat. He appears only as a silhouette against light cast by the full moon overhead. The boat bobs up and down in the water in rhythm with the tide. He holds a fishing rod in one hand, but otherwise pays little attention to it.
Two guards walk along the beach. Bond peers at them through binoculars, seeing that they have registered his presence. They walk over to a small dock that is located tens of yards from their previous position and start the motor on the boat. The guards maneuver the boat in Bond's direction.
Bond sets his fishing rod down, resting it against the side of the boat. He discreetly reaches into the inner pocket of his jacket, retrieving his pistol. He quietly screws a silencer onto the end of the weapon as the boat carrying the guards makes it closer to his position. The boat pulls up to within a few feet of Bond's.
GUARD
What are you doing out here?
Bond does not answer.
GUARD
Did you hear me?
The guard, frustrated by Bond's noncompliance, steps off of his boat, boarding Bond's considerably smaller vessel. He grabs Bond by the shoulder.
GUARD
Listen, pal. You need to get...
Bond grabs the guard's wrist, breaking it instantly. Bond quickly stands up and spins around, drawing his weapon. He shoots the guard on the other boat first, watching as he falls into the water. He kills the guard on the boat with him second, putting a bullet square between his eyes. The second guard falls into the water. Bond watches as the two bodies float in the water. The water beside the bodies begins to turn red.
Bond climbs across to the boat used by the guards and pilots it back to the dock. He exits the boat and makes his way across the beach to the home off in the distance.

INT. IRMA BUNT'S HOME, MISSION BEACH, AUSTRALIA - NIGHT
Bond steps into Bunt's home. The interior is dark, with the only light being the moonlight coming through the glass walls along the back of the home. Gun drawn, Bond makes his way silently through the corridors of the home searching for his prey.

The priest stands at the front of the funeral service, delivering his sermon. Bond's absence continues to be palpable in the audience.
M
Where the hell is he?
DRACO
I don't know.
CUT TO
INT. IRMA BUNT'S HOME, MISSION BEACH, AUSTRALIA - NIGHT
Bond reaches the far end of the home when he hears running water. He steps into a bedroom and sees steam pouring from a half closed bathroom door.
The running water stops. Bond steps into the corner of the room that is out of sight of the door. He is bathed in darkness and out of sight.
IRMA BUNT emerges from the bathroom. She dries herself off and then reaches for a robe. She displays an uneasy expression on her face, knowing that something is not right.
Bunt exits her bedroom and heads down the hallway. Bond follows her deliberately, making sure to remain hidden in the darkness.
She makes her way to the main living area that Bond had already traveled through. She pours herself a glass of Bourbon and then stands in front of the glass walls that face out towards the beach.
Bunt looks out at the water and sees that the bodies of the guards that have now washed up on the shore. She immediately knows what is happening. Bond steps into the room, the light coming through the glass walls revealing his face to the audience for the first time. Bond speaks to her for the first time. She drops her glass of Bourbon at the sound of his voice.
BOND
(menacingly)
Where is he?
IRMA BUNT
Who?
BOND
Blofeld. Where is he?
IRMA BUNT
He's dead.
Bond quickly closes the gap between them. Her back is still to Bond. He jams the end of the silenced pistol against the back of her head. She quivers slightly under the pistol before regaining her composure.
BOND
Why protect him? I'll make your death quick if you tell me where he is.
IRMA BUNT
He's dead. I watched him die. Your people have his body.
Bond is stunned by the news, giving Bunt an opportunity to take action. She throws her elbow back into Bond's face, breaking his nose. Bond fires his pistol once, the bullet missing Bunt and shattering one of the panels of the glass wall in front of him. Bunt kicks the gun out of his hand, sending it sliding across the wood floor. She lunges at Bond, knocking him to the ground. She straddles him and begins trying to choke the life out of him. Bond's face begins to turn blue due to the lack of oxygen.
IRMA BUNT
Don't fight it. You'll be with her soon.
Bond begins to lose consciousness.
