ELI5 how do sold scripts not get stolen?

When one sells a script, how do they provide enough information to the buyer so they can tell if they like it, but little enough so they couldn't just copy it and fill in the minor blanks?

They don't try to be coy about it. Instead they hand over the entire script to be read and evaluated. If they like it they buy it, if they don't they don't work on it. If instead they don't buy it but produce it anyway then the writer sues their pants off in court and takes all their money.
