Setting up today's scene and moving one scene past it:
And that's when today's quote -
- comes up, followed in the script by:
End of tower sequence.
And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions for these two scenes, we have no way of knowing if anything might have changed or things might have played as scripted because in DC's script he drew a box around them and put a big "X" in it, writing "REPLACE THIS" down the left side of the box. But in the end it appears that the scenes just weren't shot and nothing replaced them. But shades of NoDS with a shaft of light being seen as the tower room door opens by itself. What a foreshadowing of NoDS that might have been. But alas...
Coming up next: the opening scenes in the original draft of the script. And as I said, I think people who've never seen that script will be surprised by how different some of the scenes are because there's no Roger and no Daphne - only Maggie searching for David - but not in quite the same ways/places as in DC's script. And there are also fewer scenes...
9 INT: STAIRCASE TO TOWER ROOM - NIGHT 9 A shaft of light can be seen as the door opens. Maggie, holding a flashlight, looks up the stairs. She hears a sound. |
And that's when today's quote -
Page 3/Scene 9 - Maggie: 'David, if you're hiding up there, please come down!'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
There is more thunder and lightning. She starts slowly up the stairs. CAMERA HOLDS HER in TIGHT SHOT, TRUCK- ING IN FRONT OF HER. She enters the tower room. A flash of lightning illuminates her face and startles her. There is a DEAFENING ROAR OF THUNDER. Maggie shines her flashlight around the room. 10 INT: TOWER ROOM - MAGGIE'S P.O.V. 10 CAMERA SLOWLY PANS with her flashlight. We see piled up books, old furniture, strange shapes and shadows. MAGGIE - CLOSE UP A look of exasperation on her face. She turns to leave. |
End of tower sequence.
