I think it may be included on the Criterion release, but as far as I know it is around 40 pages long, so it shouldn't take too long to read .

Good luck.

Peace,

The script isn't included in the Criterion release. As for being a short script, that's probably because of the way Jarmusch works. He just writes a basic outline and lets the actors improvise for the most part.
