Moving on to the current scene:
4 INT: SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT 4 LOW ANGLE
Maggie closes the door to her room, starts down the long hall. CAMERA TRUCKING BACK in front of her. She stops in front of David's door.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 1/Scene 4 - Maggie: 'David?'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
goes CAMERA PANS WITH HER as she looks into the dark room. A flash of lightning illuminates it. She hesitates, walks in, goes to the closet, opens the door, looks in. No one is there. She comes back to CAMERA as we GO INTO CLOSE UP CUT TO:

End of scene as scripted. However, as all the cross outs suggest, the scene is greatly reworked in the film - more so than even the script indicates.
So, as far as the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions go, indeed the beginning of the scene doesn't include anything that's been crossed out, though it does begin with a low angle shot down the long corridor -
- and then, as she becomes more visible while moving down the corridor toward the camera and looking about, Maggie suddenly hears music (
Back at the Blue Whale, though on the HoDS/NoDS Soundtrack it's called
David's Radio) coming from David's room, and she actually begins to say -
"David, where have you been? I've been looking for you."- and when she reaches David's room and starts to enter, she does not find it in darkness because it's fully lit -
- and there's no David in the room - and after Maggie finds that David's transistor radio is mysteriously playing by itself, she goes over to his bureau and shuts -
- it off - and then she moves to exit the room -
- but unlike how DC added to his script, the shot of Maggie never goes into close-up.
And I must say, if somehow the Bronte sisters ever became aware that the dress Maggie is wearing "befits a governess," they must have been rolling over in their graves!!
And I'm almost afraid to contemplate what that is hanging over David's bedpost?!
And it definitely has to be noted that Scene 4 actually plays in the film after Scene 8 - but more on that after we reach Scene 8 in the script...
