And wrapping up Scene 194, beginning with today's first quote -
Page 90/Scene 194 - Barnabas: 'No, no, you mustn't be sorry. (he pours champagne) I want you to enjoy yourself. (raising his glass) Why don't we at least drink a toast to Willie -- for being so considerate of your safety.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
She raises her glass and smiles at him.
|
End of scene as scripted.
But as far as the dialogue, the direction, the descriptions, and the notations go, Barnabas actually tells Maggie "Oh, don't be sorry. I want you to enjoy yourself", without pouring any champagne, and obviously he doesn't raise a glass before he actually says "At least we can drink a toast to Willie", though, as can be seen in today's capture, he -
- picks up his class about halfway through that line as Maggie smiles at him, and she picks up her glass as Barnabas -
- finishes with "for being so considerate of your safety" - and then the camera pans down to show that Barnabas' calm and collected demeanor is a complete act as he -
- tightly grips his napkin in order to retain his control. And what's interesting is that there's a notation in DC's script that runs down the length of Barnabas' lines that reads "widen pan to her first", but the camera, already being in a 2 shot, has no need to widen, and the only actual pan is the one down to Barnabas' hand.
