Interestingly, the novelization's version of Scene 190 bears little resemblance to the version in DC's script:
Shockingly more extended Jeff material dropped from the script at some point along the way. Not that it was all that important because we'll learn the important stuff concerning Jeff in Scene 191. All what's really important in Scene 190 is that there's been no improvement with Liz and that was retained in DC's script - though, of course, given it's character oriented and not related to the blood and gore, DC deemed it unnecessary to the film. But still, what was DC thinking, dropping material from his favorite muse RD?!
Elizabeth paid no attention to the phone when it rang, merely continuing to stare sadly out the window, her eyes fixed on nothing in particular. Maggie picked up the phone and found it was Jeff wanting to talk to her. "How would you like to go to Boston for a few days?" he asked. "I'd love it," she told him. "Why do you ask?" "I have to go for a special reason," he said in an elated tone. "I think you'll be interested and it would be nice if you could be there too." "I'd enjoy it," she said. "But I can't leave Collinwood now. Mrs. Stoddard needs me so." From the other end of the line came Jeff's disappointed, "I'd forgotten about that. There's no chance of your getting away?" "I'm afraid not," she said, genuinely sorry. "But I do want to hear all about it." "Can we meet later in the afternoon?" he asked. "Come over here," she invited. "I'll be out on the grounds with David." "Fine," he said. "In about an hour." "I'll be looking for you," she told him. |
