Before “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” there was “Prognosis: Negative,” a film script written by Larry David in the 1980s that was never produced.

Thanks to a Reddit user from Rochester, N.Y., a 1983 draft of the screenplay has been uploaded to the internet. (Read a PDF here.) The 24-year-old, named Jeremy Smith, bought the script on eBay from a seller offering unpublished scripts; it’s unclear how “Prognosis: Negative” was obtained in the first place.
