Prometheus: Lindelof receives the script

leading from
Damon got home. His wife asks him "Hows you're day?"

 He replies" I think a script is coming over. Ridley Scot is sending me a script"

 She replies "what"

 45 minutes later, ding dong, there's a young PA there who hands him the script and says to Damon "I'll be waiting in my car. When you're done, come and get me, and hand it back to me.... and are you available to talk to Ridley tomorrow at 10 a.m. to come into his office?"  
It was one of those scripts that Damon wasn't allowed to keep after he'd read it

 His wife was concerned about the PA sitting in the car "should we feed him, should we bring food out there, what do we do with that guy?"

 Damon didn't expect the PA to be hanging around while he was reading the script, he was telling him "you can go and drive around, it's going to be a couple of hours"

 But the PA wasn't going to leave, his job was to give Damon the script and sit there in his car to make sure he didn't sneak out and photocopy the script, 
 
Damon would done what he was supposed to in that respect, have but that was not to say he couldn't have had a scanner at home.
