A bit late but revisiting how Scene 81 is scripted:
One does have to wonder why the script says they're driving along a Tarrytown (NY) street (no doubt where it was intended to be shot) rather than a Collinsport (ME) street (what the Tarrytown street was standing in for). One would think that would have been picked up on - but apparently not...

81 CONTD CONTD 81
And that's when yesterday's second quote -Page 31/Scene 81 - Tracy: (tentatively) 'Yes.'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
Claire picks it up.
And that's when yesterday's third quote -Page 31/Scene 81 - Claire: 'It isn't perfect?'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
81 CONTD CONTD 81
