Missing dialogue in one of the Crusade scripts being passed around

I first read the scripts for "To The Ends of the Earth" and "End of the Line" last summer on bookface.com. But recently I asked Deviot for his copy of those scripts. (Thank you by the way.) I think there's at least one missing line of dialogue in TTEOTE. This is a major spoiler, so if you haven't read the script, don't go any farther:

S
P
O
I
L
E
R

S
P
A
C
E

At the end of the script there's a passage that reads like this:

" EILERSON
Yes, but this design isn't Drakh. It's definitely Shadow in origin. There aren't many close pictures of Shadow vessels because if you got too close you usually got destroyed, but as you can see, there is a definite resemblance.
(beat)
What if someone else ... has been doing the same thing?"

Isn't there something missing where it says "(beat)"? Doesn't Eilerson say something like "We've been going around to undiscovered worlds, investigating new alien technology."? Otherwise, the line that follows doesn't make any sense.

My copy goes like this:

EILERSON
Yes, but this design isn't Drakh. It's definitely Shadow in origin. There aren't many close pictures of Shadow vessels because if you got too close you usually got destroyed, but as you can see there is a definite resemblance.
(beat)
Consider this, Captain: we're out here going from planet to planet looking for lost alien technologies.
(beat)
What if someone else... has been doing the same thing?

my copy misses that line too. Very perspective of you to notice it, Chris Springob.
thanx vakie, for showing us what Eilerson exactly said. (I like to keep documentation of the B5-history accurate)

"I don't watch TV. It’s a cultural wasteland filled with inappropriate metaphors and an unrealistic portrayal of life created by the liberal media-elite."
 
I seem to recall that the scripts where this came from were put up on a site by someone (JMS?) affiliated with the show. I remember reading what I think were going to be the final two season one episodes.

Nihilists! F*** me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Never mind. You all knew this already. I am just showing my incredible idiocy again. *Note to self*: Always read previous threads before opening big, dumb mouth.

Hey thxs for that info.

The person I got the scripts off hand typed them so obviously he missed a line.

But all is well now

If anyone could send me copies of the scripts (gmiller@classic-games.com) or an URL where I can download them, it would be much appreciated.
