Getting into the next sequence:
107 thru OMITTED 108
109 EXT. COLLINWOOD STABLES - DAY
The rain has let up somewhat as the Sheriff's car pulls into the stable area and the two men get out. In the b.g. WE NOTICE Willie's truck parked nearby.
ROGER That's his pickup.
And he leads the Sheriff into the building.
110 INT. STABLE STAIRS
As Roger and the Sheriff start up the narrow flight of steps toward Willie's garret room.
Stopping in front of his door, Roger knocks loudly.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 43/Scene 110 - Roger: 'LOOMIS! Loomis!'
- comes up.
And as far as differences go, the rain has not let up in Scene 109 because it's still pouring hard - we don't simply notice Willie's truck parked in the background because Patterson parks his car right next to it - after Roger identifies it as Willie's pickup, he follows with an unscripted "Let's check his room", to which Patterson replies with an unscripted "All right" - an unscripted burst of thunder sounds as the two men run into the stable and then in Scene 110 start up the stairs - and Roger calls out "LOOMIS!" only once as he and Patterson continue up the stairs before they even get to the door to Willie's room.
One thing that's often intriguing as we go through the script is how there are many indications of omitted scenes. When reading any scripts I've often presumed such scenes are ones that were once in the script but were dropped somewhere along the way in the rewriting process before the final script version was reached. But in some cases, especially in the instances here of omitted Scenes 107 and 108 and the way the script certainly seems to indicate that the end of Scene 106 led into the start of Scene 107, it would be interesting to know what might have gone on in them. Were they other scenes involving Roger and Patterson, Liz and Vicki, or were they something else entirely? But I suppose we'll never know...
