I just checked out David, Maggie and Roger's part of Scene 107 in the novelization and it's certainly different from DC's script's version - much, much shorter - so apparently it must have been based on some other intermediate script like several other scenes in the novelization had to be:
Roger's regime change comment in DC's script plays much more interestingly being delivered to Maggie than it does being delivered to David in the earlier incarnation...
A little later, Roger Collins and his son, David, were playing a familiar scene in the foyer. They were arguing at the door to the organ room where Roger had finally caught up to the boy. David was protesting, "But I don't want to go to bed!" "You must," Roger said sternly. "That is all there is to it. And I don't want you sneaking downstairs again. I mean it. There's going to be a new regime in this house! As the argument between them went on, Barnabas, Maggie and Jeff came by. Maggie half-turned and David saw her. At once he ran to her and threw his arms around her. He was all penitent little boy now. "Oh, Maggie, I wish you wouldn't go!" he pleaded. "I'm going to miss you so. I wish I could go back and not do some of those things I did. Honest! Then maybe you wouldn't go!" Maggie hugged David. "I'm really not angry with you," she said. |
