Scripts can only exist as components on a game object (or inside other scripts / as static classes etc). However you can give your exposed variables a default value, though this doesn’t really work with game object references:

public float Foo = 1; //will be 1 by default in editor
public GameObject Bar1 = null; //works
public GameObject Bar2 = new GameObject(); //wont work
public GameObject Bar3 = GameObject.Find("bla"); //wont work

numberkruncher: “If you select a script, the inspector allows you to specify default values (and associate other project wide objects) for new instances of script”.
