The script continues and sets up several scenes in the next sequence:
And that's when today's quote -
- comes up. And as far as differences go, there are several - but I'm going to wait until the next post to explain them...
40 thru OMITTED 42 43 EXT. FAMILY CEMETERY - NIGHT With the ornate ironwork of the old Collins family mausoleum in the f.g. Willie, flashlight in hand, a bag of tools over his shoulder, can be seen coming through the trees TOWARD CAMERA. Flashing his light about, he carefully picks his way through the crumbling monuments in the overgrown, weed-choked graveyard. 44 CLOSE - WILLIE As he stops in front of the mausoleum, shines his light up at it. (CONTINUED) 45 HIS POV - MAUSOLEUM An aged, marble facade overgrown with brambles and vines, 'Collins' etched in the stone over the entrance. The FLASHLIGHT BEAM ILLUMINATES three carved female figures on the pediment, locked in embrace, their eyes lifted toward heaven... 46 OMITTED 47 WILLIE He grins, pulls out a crumpled piece of paper, shines his light on it. WILLIE ...three graces spin high above... MOVE WITH HIM as he crosses to the big, rusty, iron door, pushes it open. 48 INT. MAUSOLEUM - FROM BELOW As Willie enters, his light FLARING OUT THE LENS, starts down a narrow flight of crumbling, stone steps toward CAMERA. 49 INT. CRYPT As he reaches the bottom, he enters the large, octangular-shaped Crypt. He shines his light around. The room is filled with cobwebs and moss. 50 CLOSE - WILLIE Shaking with excitement, he pulls out the crumpled piece of paper again, shines his light on it ... then flashes his beam onto one of the walls. 51 ANGLE - WALL As the BEAM illuminates a CARVED STONE LION'S HEAD, a rusted, iron ring hanging from its mouth... 52 BACK TO WILLIE As he grins. (CONTINUED) 52 CONTINUED: WILLIE ...the lion’s head watches the dove... He looks around, then jerks his flashlight to the opposite wall. WHIP PAN with the BEAM as it illuminates a STONE DOVE. 53 WILLIE As he smiles, turns back to the Lion's Head. WILLIE (0.S.) (muttering) "Lion's head... watches the dove". 54 LION'S HEAD - CLOSE As Willie's hand ENTERS SHOT, touches it, then takes hold of the iron ring, begins to twist and pull at it. 55 thru OMITTED 56 57 FROM IN BACK OF WILLIE As he pulls harder, the ring begins to draw out of the lion's mouth. And then we HEAR THE SOUND OF HEAVY STONE GRATING ON STONE as a section of the wall begins to slowly swing open. 58 WILLIE - CLOSE Eyes glittering, he raises his light, leans forward to peer in. Suddenly, he leaps back, thrashing the air wildly, as a cloud of bats, screeching and flapping, explode from the dark space beyond. 59 ANOTHER ANGLE - THROUGH OPENING As Willie shivers in horror. |
And that's when today's quote -
Page 25/Scene 59 - Willie: (mutters) 'Ecch! What a place! -- Bats!'
- comes up. And as far as differences go, there are several - but I'm going to wait until the next post to explain them...
