And that's when today's quote -
Page 62/Scene 140 - Roger: 'Barnabas, you shouldn't have come through the woods alone. You were taking a terrible chance.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations, there is no dissolve from Scene 139 to Scene 140 - and Scene 140 actually begins with a shot of the drawing room shot from the viewpoint of the foyer as -
- Barnabas is just about to enter and Roger can be seen inside but we do not see Jeff or Maggie - and a deputy can soon be seen exiting from the card room as the camera begins a slow zoom in on the drawing room -
- and as the deputy walks across the foyer, Roger actually begins to say "Barnabas, you shouldn't have come here tonight" while the deputy looks -
- over in the direction of the camera - and as the deputy disappears from frame and Roger moves closer -
- to Barnabas, Roger continues with "you were taking a terrible chance" - to which Barnabas -
- actually says "But I had to" as Roger helps him with his cape - and at the outset of Roger's quote there's actually a notation in DC's script that reads: "x to Barn - help him with his cape".
