And before tomorrow's quote in the slideshow comes up, we have a lot more stuff to deal with. First up, what we must deal with in DC's script:
44A Suddenly a closet door flies open and a FIGURE 44A runs out hitting Maggie's arm. The flashlight drops, goes out. It is David. He runs out the door, slamming it. Maggie, in the room, begins to pound on the door.
MAGGIE David! Let me out. David!
She stops, as she hears the CLICK OF A KEY BEING TURNED IN THE DOOR LOCK. The CAMERA PANS down to the keyhole, then up to her as she begins pounding again.
MAGGIE Open this door!
She stops pounding. There is silence.
MAGGIE David!
She hears a DOOR SLAM IN THE DISTANCE. She slumps against the door, What can she do now? She turns,
Rev. 3/25/70
44A CONTD CONTD 44A
Sees a flashlight on the floor, picks it up. It will not work. There is a flash of lightning. She suddenly thinks she might see David outside. She runs to the window, looks out CAMERA IN TIGHT.
45-51 DELETED

End of scenes. But that's only as far as DC's script goes. Coming before too long, we'll get into the above scene as it appears in the original draft. And then after that we'll get into Scenes 45 though 51 in the original draft to see what was dropped. And the reason we need to do that today is because tomorrow's quote in the slideshow comes from DC's Script's Scene 52...
But before all that, as far as any differences in the dialogue, the directions, or the descriptions go here, Maggie actually shouts her first -
"David!" - as she runs to the door - and then once she reaches the door she pounds on it and says "David! Let me out. David!", as scripted - and after Maggie hears the key turn in the lock, we simply see her face in a panic -
- there is no camera pan down to the keyhole then back up to Maggie as she begins pounding again. In fact, absolutely nothing of the rest of the scene as scripted appears in the film. And note that the end of the scene appears to be a rewrite that was done on March 25 (and a rewrite that will last right through Scene 68B), so it will be interesting to see how things played in the original draft. If the entire scene is quite different or just the ending. I haven't checked yet, so we'll learn together...
