The Golden Compass: The Abridged Script

AKOTA hides in a closet and watches her uncle, DANIEL CRAIG, interact with a member of the MAGISTERIUM.

      DANIEL CRAIG
      Oh, the Magisterium. You guys must be the symbol of religion that religious folks are all pissed off about.

      SIMON MCBURNEY
      Actually, in the movie we’re just a symbol of conformity and blind obedience.

      DANIEL CRAIG
      Er, so organizations like the Catholic League saw conformity and blind obedience, then decided it must represent their religion?

      SIMON MCBURNEY
      Yeah. Kinda telling, huh?

DANIEL proceeds to vanish from the movie almost entirely. NICOLE KIDMAN convinces DAKOTA BLUE RICHARDS to live with her without consulting her uncle, which nobody seems to mind.
