They carry the GPL along with them because you licensed the script itself GPL, so clearly the output is a derived work (not just output) of the script. If you license the script otherwise, those pieces wouldn't be GPL.
I take a view similar to Robert's. The script (presuming it copies no parts from the Sage library) is yours, and yours alone, to do with what you want (assuming you have copyright on it).
If you were really worried, you could definitely make those snippets inputs to the script as well, licensed however you choose. But again, I don't think you have to worry about anything.
