DRAW 188 INT: CLOSE SHOT of two candles burning on a table. CAMERA PULLS BACK to show Barnabas and Maggie. They have finished dinner and are sipping champagne. He gazes at her adoringly. She is smiling at him. For a moment neither of them is aware that Willie has entered the room and is standing there watching them. Then Barnabas turns and sees him, but pays no attention to the concerned look on his face. BARNABAS What is it, Willie? 188 CONTD CONTD 188 WILLIE I just wondered if you wanted anything else. BARNABAS More champagne? MAGGIE Oh, no, Barnabas -- not for me. I must get back to Collinwood. I want to be ready for David's exams tomorrow. |
(It's going to fascinating to see how this scene plays in the novelization...)
A few night later after Barnabas received his injection he left Julia to finish up in the lab and went into the drawing room of the old house. There he removed a cleverly designed little music box from a chest and studied it with a sad smile. He touched the lid of the box so that it tinkled out its tune with crystal clarity. And the thin music of the old box took him back many years in thought. Julia entered from the hallway with her medical bag in hand. "Isn't it delightful!" Barnabas beamed at her. "A family heirloom." She smiled. "I'm glad you're in such a happy mood. I spoke to Professor Stokes today. The fact that there have been no attacks recently has almost convinced him that the vampire has disappeared. And the police have lifted the curfew." Barnabas was pleased. "Julia, I owe it all to you! I don't know I shall ever be able to thank you." She said, "It would be pointless now, anyway. We must wait until we achieve total success. Where did you get the music box?" "It was hidden away here," he said. "It belonged to someone I knew many years ago." Julia listened, enthralled. "It's very beautiful." Barnabas gave her a meaningful smile. "I intend to give it to someone soon. Someone I love very much." Julia felt the rush of warm blood to her cheeks. Speech- less and full of hope, she lowered her gaze to the music box quickly. |
