And now:
Part 2, as scripted:
During the minister's speech, the CAMERA PANS the solemn faces of the mourners: Roger, David, Julia Todd, Maggie, Jeff, Stokes, the Sheriff and VARIOUS OTHER RELATIVES and FRIENDS.
MINISTER (OS) For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me; Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely good- ness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
WIDE ANGLE - MOURNERS
The pallbearers raise the coffin, carry it toward the mausoleum.

as they watch the pallbearers. In a moment we hear the BIG IRON DOOR BEING CLOSED AND BOLTED and we know that Carolyn is gone.

End of scene.
And when it comes to the dialogue, the directions, the descriptions, and the notations, well, as we've seen the camera has already panned all the mourners - but what does come up next in the scene following where we left off in Part 1 is a shot of David as the minister begins, not the second part of the twenty-third psalm (which would be hard given we haven't heard the first part yet - or today's quote), but we actually hear the start of the twenty-third psalm -
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. he maketh me to
lie down in green pastures." - and after that the camera pulls back to reveal the pallbearers already carrying Carolyn's coffin as we hear the minister finally deliver today's quote as the various pallbearers and the minister come into view -
"He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness...""...for his name's sake.""Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death..." - and the minister wraps up today's quote as he begins the rest of the prayer as laid out in this post -
"...I will fear no evil. For thou art with me..." And after the pallbearers and minister have passed by we see David, Maggie, Liz and Julia (though who knows who the man seen between Liz and Julia is?) watching after them as we hear the minister continue with -
"...thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." - and then the camera switches to shooting from behind everyone as we see the pallbeaers making thier way to the mausoleum and hear the minister continue with -
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies." - and, unlike the script, before the minister is even done things switch to a shot of Maggie and Liz huddling together -
- and after Liz looks down as if she can't bear to watch any more, we hear the minister continue with -
"Thou anointest my head with oil..." - and then the shot switches to the cemetery caretaker starting to open the iron gate to the mausoleum as the minister continues with -
"...my cup runneth over." - and with the gate open the pallbearers move closer to the mausoleum as the minister continues with -
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days..." - and the camera switches to a shot of the caretaker holding the iron gate as the minister continues with -
"...the days of my life..." - and the camera moves into the darkness as the minister's words begin to echo -
"...and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." - and finally things end with a loud bang.
