Once again there really isn't all that much that's different about the novelization of the just completed scene, Scene 192, vs. how it appears in DC's script. And again there are only two sections worth pointing out.
Instead of:
- the novelization has -
- and instead of -
- the novelization has -
It's interesting that the novelization says that Maggie hands papers to David to take into the house because the script seems to imply it's picnic things. But then that's simply because the script doesn't mention anything else that Maggie might be carrying. Like I've said, at times DC's script is painfully lacking in explanation, which was not the case with the portions of the hoDS script that appeared in the DS Files books.
Instead of:
And that's when today's quote -Page 87/Scene 192 - Willie: 'Maggie, you gotta get away from Collinwood.'
- comes up.
MAGGIE
(looks at David)
David, take these inside.
David looks at Willie, goes in.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 87/Scene 192 - Willie: 'Look, you just gotta take my word for it -- because -- it's something I can't explain, see.'
- comes up.
- the novelization has -
"Maggie, you gotta get away from Collinwood," Willie said earnestly. Her face shadowed and she turned to David. "Will you please take these inside?" she said, handing him some papers. The boy hesitated, gave Willie a wary look, and then rather reluctantly did as she'd asked. When he was inside, she told Willie, "Explain your- self." He frowned. "Look, you just gotta take my word for it. Because . . . it's something I can't explain, see?" |
- and instead of -
Page 87/Scene 192 - Willie: 'You seeing Barnabas tonight?'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
192 CONTD CONTD 192
And that's when today's second quote -Page 88/Scene 192 - Maggie: 'Yes, I am -- and unless you tell me what's bothering you I've got to go in. I have a lot of work to do.'
- comes up.
Willie looks at her, knows he cannot tell her.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 88/Scene 192 - Willie: 'Nothing, Maggie -- nothing --'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 88/Scene 192 - Maggie: 'Oh, Willie -- I'll never understand you.'
coming up, followed in the script by:
She turns and goes into the house. Willie stands there
as if paralyzed.
- the novelization has -
Willie hesitated, then asked, "You seeing Barnabas tonight?" "Yes, I am. And unless you tell me what's bothering you, I've got to go in. I have a lot of work to do." He stared at her with troubled eyes. "It's hard for me to explain," he muttered. "So it seems," she said impatiently. "What is this big secret?" "Nothing, Maggie, nothing," he said with despair. She gave him a disgusted look. "I don't think it's very nice of you, trying to scare me without any good reason. "Willie, I'll never understand you!" And she turned and went quickly into the house. Willie stood staring after her in despair. |
