And that's when today's first quote -

- comes up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 48/Scene 118 - Julia: 'He doesn't know. He's out of town.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
PAN CUSTOKES STOKES I see. widen closes as he closes He opens the car door for her. it

And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions for this scene, we have no way of knowing if anything might have changed or things might have played as scripted because, as I said, this scene was never shot. And normally I get upset about such things, but in this case there really isn't anything all that important in the scene that won't get covered in the next scene when Stokes joins Julia in the lab. The only thing that won't be gotten into is Stokes asking about Barnabas and Julia telling him Barnabas doesn't know about Carolyn because "he's out of town" - though unless someone has read the script, they don't even know that Barnabas evades Julia's desire to get together with him by saying he's going out of town because that's one of the many scenes from the costume party that ended up on the cutting room floor.
And when it comes to DC's notes, it's interesting that he's crossed out that Julia opens her car door but then seemingly put it back...
