I’ve been making gay knights (and dames) collages on my phone at work
I have just spent the last 3-4 hours scouring the internet for the 5 deleted scenes that were spread between limited edition copies of the Good Omens script book so I could print them and put them into my signed, 1st edition, copy of the script book.
Through much trial and piecing together pictures of the pages from Google Images, I managed to find and type up all of the scenes. I figured that since I couldn’t find a place with all the deleted scenes in one I may as well share what I wasted 4 hours of my life on for others who care to read the deleted scenes in one place. The only scene I didn’t type up was the 4 Horsemen scene since it’s included in every book. Considering Gaiman himself had assumed that all copies of the book would have all the scenes I don’t feel too bad doing this.
You can read the scenes here:

If the link doesn’t work, please let me know.
Also, if you find any typos that I missed that doesn’t seem like a Gaiman-esque purposeful typo let me know.

“I think I understand a whole lot better than you do”
Glow in the dark - Baiona, Spain
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
