Finally moving on to Scene 62 as it appears in DC's script:
62 INT - CORRIDOR - NIGHT
Maggie, hysterical, comes running from the room. She is crying.
MAGGIE David-
Jeff and Todd run in. Maggie runs to Jeff's arms.
|
And that's when February 13th's quote -
Page 19/Scene 62 - Maggie: 'David...down the hall...I was so frightened. Why do I let him frighten me so...He opened the door---'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
JEFF Who did?
MAGGIE David- Todd go and get him. he's in there
|
And that's when February 14th's quote -
Page 19/Scene 62 - Todd: 'Maggie, Jeff caught David sneaking into his room ten minutes ago.'
- comes up, though in the script it's like:
I TODD Maggie, Jeff caught David sneaking into his room ten minutes ago. just a few minutes ago MAGGIE Maggie She is shocked and horrified.

But even if we ignore the typos and other oddities that whoever typed the page brought in, we know that the scene doesn't play that way in the film because an hysterical Maggie does indeed run from the bedroom, however she calls out an unscripted -
"Jeff!" - rather than calling out David's name - and Jeff calls an unscripted -
"Maggie." - to which Maggie calls out another unscripted -
"Jeff!" - and Jeff follows with another unscripted -
"Maggie." - as she reaches him - and as we can see, Todd is not with Jeff (quite possibly because the shooting of Scene 62 took place subsequent to the taping of Ep #1001 of the daytime series, which was Don Briscoe's last ep before the incident that caused him to abruptly leave the daytime show, so it may have also caused him to be unavailable for the shooting of Scene 62 of the film) - and rather than delivering the 13th's quote, what Maggie actually says is -
"It's David. David. He locked me in there." - to which Jeff replies with an unscripted -
"Come on, Maggie, calm down." - and so then Maggie simply says -
"David." - which Jeff questions with -
"David?" - rather than the scripted "Who did?" - and Maggie explains -
"David. He locked me in there. He locked me in there.
He's in there, Jeff. He's in there." - rather than what's scripted instructing Todd to get David or even what it was changed to in DC's script - and since there is no appearance of Todd in the scene, rather the 14th's quote, Jeff actually gets to say -
"Maggie, I just caught David sneaking into his room back
at Collinwood." - to which an extremely confused Maggie replies with -
"Someone-- Someone was--" - and then Jeff says -
"Now come on. Todd's downstairs looking for you." - (which is an interesting nod to the original intent of Todd being a part of the scene) and Jeff begins to lead Maggie away as she repeats -
"Someone was--" - and Jeff comforts her by saying -
"Take it easy."
