Picking up after we left off in reply #672, here are the differences for the rest of Scene 177:
After Stokes starts to pull the stake from the black leather bag, we see Carolyn's POV of Stokes, Roger and the Sheriff -
- and given that Roger's quote from Monday begging Stokes not to do it was moved up, this is where it might have been likely that Stokes' quote from Monday, "There is no other way, Roger! You must believe that!", might have actually been delivered in the film rather than where it's scripted to be delivered, but considering it was completely dropped, that's a moot point - and after we see Stokes pull the stake from the bag -
- we then see another shot from Carolyn's POV of the three men as Stokes readies the stake -
- and the hammer - which is followed by a shot of Carolyn with hatred in here eyes -
- but that soon turns to terror as the stake is lowered over -
- her - and after a shot of Stokes and Roger, who is obviously in anguish -
- Stokes begins to raise the hammer over the stake as Carolyn looks on -
- in terror - and after Stokes positions the hammer over the stake -
- we do see a shot of Roger with his hands on Stokes' back and arm, but -
- he makes no effort to stop Stokes as Stokes raises the hammer up high -
- as Carolyn continues to look on in even more terror -
- and Stokes brings down the hammer with such force that blood begins spurting out of Carolyn's chest -
- as she shrieks in utter agony -
- and after Stokes brings the hammer up again, and once again Roger has his hand on Stokes' upper arm -
- not able to take the sight any longer, Roger looks away before -
- Stokes brings the hammer down again -
- and Carolyn shieks in agony again -
- as Todd struggles against Jeff and a policeman to get to her - and he calls out an unscripted -
"Carolyn!" - desperately - but after he finally breaks free and gets to her side, it's too, because she's already gone -
- and though Todd tries to move in to kiss her -
- Jeff pulls him away -
- so all there's left for Todd to do is to slump by Carolyn's side -
- and to reach up to hold her arm -
- as everyone involved stands and bears witness to the horrifying tragedy they've -
- they just experienced.
