Wrapping up Scene 37:
DAPHNE (running from him) Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
37 CONTD CONTD 37
She runs. She trips and falls.
Daphne
lies there on the ground sobbing hysterically as Jeff enters the shot. Jeff recognizes her as he turns her to him.
JEFF Daphne!? What is it!? What's happened!?
CAMERA TRUCKS into a TIGHT SHOT of her face and neck.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 14/Scene 37 - Jeff (O.S.): 'Oh my God!'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
We see the blood pouring from the two gaping holes in her neck.
|
And when it comes to the dialogue, with the exception of today's quote, all the rest of the dialogue was dropped in the film - and as can be seen in today's capture -
- Jeff actually says his "Oh my God!" on screen.
And when it comes to the differences in the directions and descriptions laid out above, obviously Daphne doesn't run from Jeff because as we pointed out yesterday, she has already collapsed on the ground - and since she's already on the ground, we don't see her trip and fall - and as she lies on the ground, we don't actually hear her sobbing because she seems to have passed out - and given that he'd already called out her name, Jeff had already recognized her before he got out of his car - and while the camera does indeed go into a tight shot of Daphne's face and neck, DC has a note that the camera would zoom in on the holes in her throat (Dick Smith's fantastic makeup) -
- which is indeed what happens (though previous to that it also zooms in on Jeff), but as we've already gotten into, Jeff's line is not delivered off screen during the shot of the wound but with Jeff in close-up.
And coming up shortly, the original draft's version of Scene 37 as well as Scenes 38 and 39 because, unlike DC's script's version, the original version is scripted over multiple scenes...
