Moving on to the current Scene 238:
...
238 EXT - TOWER PARAPET - NIGHT 238
as Alex emerges from the door, he sees Carlotta
standing there. The fear and hatred in Carlotta's
eyes are now one and the same. As Alex moves toward
her, Carlotta backs up to where she now stands on
the low wall that rims the parapet.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 109/Scene 238 - Carlotta: 'Stay away from me! Don't touch me!'
comes up, followed in the script by:
238 CONTD CONTD 238
And that's when today's second quote -Page 110/Scene 238 - Alex: 'We don't want to hurt you, Carlotta.'
comes up.
And as far as the descriptions and directions go, upon first seeing Alex, Carlotta doesn't actually back up to get up to stand on the wall that rims the parapet because in fact she backs in the opposite direction to stand against the corner of the wall - and then just before Alex is about to say he doesn't want to hurt her is when Carlotta backs up to stand up on the wall. ...
And as far as the dialogue goes, Carlotta's quote doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands - and Alex actually says "Carlotta, I don't want to hurt you."
