When a St. Louis woman found a copy of the script for New Moon in the trash, she must have asked herself, "WWECD?"

Returning the pages to the movie studio, rather than leaking them online or selling them to the highest tabloid bidder, is exactly what Edward Cullen would have done...and it's exactly what Casey Ray did.

The salon owner was waiting for her fiancé outside the very hotel where the cast of George Clooney's Up in the Air was staying. Upon peering into a nearby garbage can, she discovered the scripts to the Twilight sequel, as well as a movie called Memoirs.

Ray stood to make a pretty penny had she offered the script to a tabloid or on put it up on eBay, but instead, she chose to take the high road and returned both documents to Summit Entertainment.

In return, the treasure spotter reportedly earned herself a pair of tickets to both films' premieres.

"We thank and commend Ms. Ray for doing the right thing in returning the scripts to the studio," a spokesman for Summit tells E! News. He could not confirm the do-gooder's invitation to the films' openers.

While It remains unclear how the coveted papers made their way to the dumpster, we have our suspicions. Actress Anna Kendrick stars in Up in the Air and just so happens to play Bella's pal Jessica opposite Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in New Moon.

A request for comment from Kendrick's rep has yet to be returned.
