Scene #225 is the only scene in the script to feature the Old Man, and it plays out in the movie closely to the way it appears in the script, with a few variations here and there:
225 INT: DRAWING ROOM - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
CLOSE SHOT of Jeff lying on the sofa, sleeping fitfully.
After a moment he opens his eyes and something he sees
causes him to sit up with a start. There is an OLD
MAN dressed in seaman's garb standing over him.
JEFF
Who are you! What're you
doing here!
OLD MAN
I rang the bell outside, but
no one answered, so I just came
in. I got to find Sheriff
Patterson.
JEFF
What for?
The man takes a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
OLD MAN
Mr. Roger Collins and another
gentleman told me to give him
this.
Jeff takes the paper from him.
JEFF
Let me see that.
He opens the note, reads it. He stops reading and looks at
the old man.
They've gone to St. Eustace Island?
When did they give you this?
OLD MAN
About five-thirty.
JEFF
What time is it now?
OLD MAN
Close to seven o'clock --
JEFF
(angry)
Why did you wait until now to --
oh, never mind. You got another
boat?
OLD MAN
Sure.
He watches as Jeff grabs his jacket and makes sure he has
the pistol and silver bullets.
