Still revisiting how Scene 124 is scripted:
And as far as "today's quote" goes, it was yesterday's, March 24th's, this time around.
Continuing Scene 124:
Still clutching Angelique, Sarah cries bitterly as
Angelique bends to her.
And that's when today's quote -Page 62/Scene 124 - Angelique: 'My darling, don't cry. Sarah, dear, don't cry, please. It will be just as if I'm away for a little while.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
SARAH
But they said...they were going to...
She looks at Charles.
Charles...don't let them --
She cannot finish, her sobs break out again.
And as far as differences in the dialogue go, what Angelique actually says is "Darling, don't cry. Sarah, dear, please don't cry. It'll be just as if I've gone away for a little while" - but all of Sarah's dialogue and everything that surrounds it is dropped from the scene once again, and once again, who knows if it was shot or not, though as we'll see below in this post too, given the editing, it may have been shot but simply cut.
And as far as differences in the directions and the descriptions go, we don't actually see Sarah crying bitterly because she seems to be sobbing - and even though neither the script nor any notes from DC indicate it, as can be seen in the following capture -
- a close-up of a disgusted looking Strack is actually seen while Angelique reassures Sarah that it will be just as if Angelique has gone away for a little while, and like Charles' earlier close-up, who knows if Strack's closeup was inserted because DC didn't like what he got from Monica Rich or simply because DC wanted to insert a Strack close-up?
And as far as "today's quote" goes, it was yesterday's, March 24th's, this time around.
