Setting up the current scene:
80 INT: COLLINWOOD - GALLERY ROOM - NIGHT 80 WIDE ANGLE - from left corner of window
Liz, Roger, Carolyn and T. ELOIT STOKES, a suave, meticulous man, in his forties. Slightly apart from them, Julia Hoffman sits reading an ancient ledger.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 27/Scene 80 - Roger (to Carolyn): 'So you saw Loomis! I daresay he is different. I finally managed to penetrate that thick skull. He's evidently so afraid that he's never even picked up his pay.'
- comes up.
And because this scene is also among the ones that sadly ended up on the cutting room floor, it appears that once again the audience was deprived of another of Roger's best lines (poor Roger - it's a complete delusion and an inflated belief in his own self-importance for him to think he had anything to do with the changes in Willie
). But we'll never know Roger's lines were actually delivered as scripted because, not only was this scene cut, but its footage was subsequently destroyed...
