Wrapping up Scene 119, beginning with today's quote, Stokes' declaration to Julia's notion that the "creature" might be curable -
Page 51/Scene 119 - Stokes: 'Vampirism isn't a disease, Julia. Vampires are the living dead.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
JULIA How could you possibly prove such a thing?
STOKES I expect the proof will be forth- coming very soon. High - Wide She looks at him, having no idea what he means. Shot Slow SLOWLY THE SOUND OF A BALL BEING BOUNCED AGAINST A dissolve WALL STARTS TO FILTER IN.

And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations, Stokes actually delivers today's quote as "Vampirism is not a disease, Julia. Vampires are icky" - oh, no, wait, that's on a different board on the forum - what he actually says in the film is "Vampirism is not a disease, Julia. Vampires are the living dead", and next to that quote DC has a notation that Stokes goes back into close-up when he delivers it, though as can be seen in today's capture -
- unlike Julia's most recent close-up, the camera goes in no closer on Stokes than it has been for the entire scene so far - and then when Julia actually asks "How in the world are you going to prove that?", Julia's close-up reverts back to -
- its original distance - and when Stokes actually replies "I'm afraid the proof with be forthcoming very soon", once again the camera goes back to -
- Stokes' close-up - however, afterward we do not see Julia looking at him, having no idea what he means, because the shot almost immediately begins the slow dissolve into the opening shot of Scene 120 -
- and unlike what the script indicates, beginning with Julia question about how Stokes will prove his theory and right through to the final fade-out of Scene 119, instead of a ball being bounced against a wall starting to filter in, we slowly become aware of the first iteration of tomorrow's quote from Scene 120 - but more on that tomorrow...
