Moving on to the current scene:
8 INT: FIRST FLOOR STAIRS - NIGHT 8 (SEEN FROM THE SECOND FLOOR LANDING)
Maggie is halfway up the stairs as DAPHNE BUDD, Elizabeth's secretary, comes downstairs. She carries ledger books. They meet on the landing.
8 CONTD CONTD 8

And that's when today's first quote -
Page 3/Scene 8 - Maggie: 'Daphne, have you seen David?'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 3/Scene 8 - Daphne: 'No.'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, both quotes are delivered exactly as scripted. (Considering that in NoDS there was often a great deal of variation from the scripted dialogue, it'll be quite interesting to see how much variation there is in hoDS. But then, in her chapter for the DS Movie Book, Kate Jackson specifically mentions that on NoDS DC made changes as they rehearsed scenes and that they "were not married to every single word in the script" - so that explains it and is pretty much as understatement, as we definitely saw in the NoDS topic.)
And when it comes to the descriptions and directions, though it's a minor point, rather than meeting on the landing, as we can see in today's captures -
- Maggie and Daphne actually meet on the stairs.
