I want to be with him--no, that's not right, I HAVE to join him. Why did you send for me? asks Stokes--I'm not a wizard who transports people through time. I know that, she says. Is he here, listening to them? If so, he'll give her a sign, says Stokes, a sign to forget this insanity. Is loving insane? she asks. It has been known to be (make a list of DS characters whose love was insane.)I won't accept that, Vicki insists--you have my husband something that last night, that made him know he'd lived before and enabled him to be called back. Stokes admits to giving him three Indian herbs. Vicki wants them, too, but Stokes refuses[/spoiler]

...and then in more dialogue taken from Scene 198, as Claire and Tracy make their way across the bridge from the cottage to the grounds, Tracy then actually says -
"We've gotta be sure."

Liz exits the kitchen, watches Julia walk across the landing, and joins Barnabas in the drawing room. Something must be done, Liz tells Barnabas--bringing him here was not the answer--he's been talking, someone will listen, believe him--something must be done.No, says Barnabas, Paul Stoddard will be taken care of by someone else--and he smiles.[/spoiler]
how Scene 198 plays in the film (more on that in a later post)
Scene 198 plays differently in the film from they way it's scripted, so first we're going to deal with it completely as scripted:
198 CLAIRE - TRACY 198
As they scream with shock, Claire suddenly raises the
pistol, fires point blank into Gerard's face.
GERARD - CLOSE-UP
Screaming with pain, he grabs his face and falls from
sight.
CLAIRE
Oh, God, I've killed him.
198 CONTD CONTD 198
TRACY
We've...we've got to make sure.
They look at each other, both knowing that they don't
want to leave the comparative safety of the cottage.
CLAIRE
We can't...we can't.
TRACY
If he's just wounded...
CLAIRE
(pulling herself
together)
I know...all right...let's go.
End of scene. But as we'll see when we deal with today's quote/capture in the slideshow, and as is already apparent given today's slideshow, some of the lines were actually used in upcoming Scene 199. And as we'll also see, other's were dropped entirely...
When it comes to the dialogue as scripted for Scene 198, Claire's "Oh, God, I've killed him", "We can't...we can't", and "I know...all right...let's go" were all dropped and were not moved to upcoming Scene 199, mostly because, as we'll see, two out three of the lines wouldn't have made sense there. On the other hand, Tracy's "We've...we've got to make sure" and "If he's just wounded..." were moved to Scene 199, and we'll get into how they play there when we get into Scene 199.
...
Moving on to how the portion of Scene 199 is scripted before we reach today's quote:
199 EXT - GROUNDS OUTSIDE COTTAGE - NIGHT 199
Yup, that's all we can get into because the beginning of the scene is so different from the way it's scripted to begin.
So, when it comes to the differences in the dialogue, the description and the directions, in the film Scene 199 actually begins with what we saw in yesterday's installment of the slideshow, with Claire and Tracy exiting the cottage and Tracy saying -
"If he's just wounded..."
- which we've already pointed out came from Scene 198...
