Moving through today's new scene (and at first I'm going to do it by including minimal notations) and wrapping up the sequence:
126 DAVID'S POV David from in back of him 126 From out of a dark corner he sees her emerge and step into a shaft of moonlight in a long, diaphonous gown, her face deathly pale. She moves toward him slowly, her arms outstretched to him.
DAVID AND CAROLYN
As she slowly moves towards him, he start to inch backwards.

And that's when today's first quote -
Page 54/Scene 126 - Carolyn: 'You mustn't be afraid, David. I'm not going to hurt you -- you know I'd never do anything to hurt you --'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
She is very close to him now. Suddenly she opens her mouth, baring two glistening fangs and makes a grab for him. The horrified David jumps out of the way and SCREAMS at her.
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 54/Scene 125 - David: 'Stay away from me!! You're dead.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
He turns and runs for dear life back along the walkway.

End of scene and sequence, mostly as scripted. However, a good part of the scene actually appears in DC's script like this:
her arms outstretched to him. David DAVID AND CAROLYN Carolyn - where are you - I can't see you As she slowly moves towards him, he start to inch where are backwards. you
CAROLYN Carolyn You mustn't be afraid, David. I'm here David not going to hurt you -- you know just come to me I'd never do anything to hurt you -- I'm here
She is very close to him now. Suddenly she opens her David mouth, baring two glistening fangs and makes a grab Oh Carolyn for him. The horrified David jumps out of the way I knew it and SCREAMS at her. I knew it I knew you were DAVID alive Stay away from me!! You're dead.
He turns and runs for dear life back along the walkway.

And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations, as per usual, things don't play exactly as scripted. Scene 126 does indeed begin by showing Carolyn emerge into the light in a long -
- diaphonous gown, a shroud, actually (and "diaphonous" isn't even the word for it, at least not when watching the Blu-ray on a big screen TV because as the scene progresses one can see parts of Carolyn's body that I've never noticed in any other transfer of the film - I don't think I'd even noticed them on the movie screen back in the '70s) - and at first David is happy to see Carolyn -
- and as one can clearly see, Carolyn's face isn't deathly pale (and thanks heavens that make-up artist from the daytime show didn't do Carolyn's make-up here or perhaps she would have had Roxanne's blue hue) -
- nor are her arms outstretched to David - and as Carolyn slowly moves towards him, David does start to inch backwards with an uneasiness -
- clearly beginning to show on his face - and as Carolyn continues to move even closer as -
- today's first quote comes up and which she actually delivers as "You mustn't be afraid, David. I'm not going to hurt you -- you know I would never do anything to hurt you --" as David backs aware from her with even more unease -
- showing in his face - and just as Carolyn moves closer and closer to a point where she begins to raise her arms and she would have -
- bared her fangs, David immediately screams out -
- today's second quote exactly as scripted and then quickly pulls back into the shadows -
- to get away from her, and things instantly cut to the next scene. But as we'll get into a bit later, there was stuff shot that should have been where those last two cuts take place...
And as you can see, at no point did I reference any of the dialogue that DC added to his script, and that's obviously because none of it appears in the film.
