I'm not sure if we can say the unscripted bit of dialogue was improvised - all we know for sure is that it doesn't appear in DC's script. Sam Hall was on hand during shooting and often made changes to scenes the night before shooting or even on the fly during shooting, both of which are things that some of the actors, particularly KLS, weren't happy about. However, the staking scene was well rehearsed because it was such a complicated shoot - and because it was rehearsed, it is possible that Stokes' unscripted "Jeff, take care of Todd" was improvised by Thayer David during the rehearsal process. Though it's also possible that it was something Sam Hall came up with after it was decided to drop Stokes' "Hold him!! Don't let him near her again!!" We'll probably never know.
Speaking of Thayer, though, I do love the story of how DC made him do an upcoming bit in the scene over and over again until DC felt he got it right. But we'll get more into that after I post the conclusion of Scene 177 and we get into the remaining differences...
