Wrapping up Scene 108A, beginning with today's quote -
Page 41A/Scene 108A - Stokes: 'We can do nothing about the attacks. But surely, someone can talk Maggie into staying.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
Elizabeth shakes her head. She abviously has tried. Barnabas looks to Maggie.
(CUT TO SC. 109)

Interestingly, while this is Scene 108A in the script, DC wrote over the "8" and made it a "7," changing it to Scene 107A - and he changed the scene that would be cut to, to "SC 108". Perhaps the reason why will become clear when we start Scene 109 in tomorrow's slideshow...
Also interestingly, the Fest's 1999 Movie Calendar has a Stokes' quote from Scene 108A that doesn't appear in any other version of the script that I've seen. We actually featured it in the original hoDS slideshow as the February 28th installment because that's the date it appears on the calendar:
hoDS: Alternate Scene #108A - Stokes: 'Perhaps we are
being watched by eyes we cannot see.' I would love to know in what context that came up in an alternate version of the scene. As I observed originally, it's too bad that they dropped it because, without knowing it, Stokes would have been perfectly assessing the way Barnabas keeps watching Maggie. Though, considering that regardless if it was Scene 108A or 107A, the scene ended up on the cutting room floor, I suppose we were destined to never know (well, unless one of us can get our hands on a copy of that alternate version of the script)...
