And I finally reach Tuesday's scene:
INT - Foyer 164 EXT: COLLINWOOD GROUNDS - NIGHT 164
TIGHT ON Sheriff talking into radio microphone next to car. PULL BACK to reveal Stokes and Jeff and the injured driver (Alex) standing next to him. In B.G. the burning wreckage of the car can be seen silhouett- ing Julia and Maggie and the others. Simultaneous conversation.

And that's when Tuesday's quote -
Page 70/Scene 164 - Alex: 'We looked up. She was there. Just standing there --'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
SHERIFF (into mike) Every building on the property must be searched. We know he's going to her.
During this, Roger ENTERS SHOT. CAMERA PANS Roger as he crosses to Julia. He looks down at her. She is tending the injured officer.
ROGER Is he going to be all right?
JULIA Yes -- I think so. Someone should look in on Elizabeth.
ROGER I already did. She's still under the effects of the sedative.

And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations, we really have no way of knowing how things might have played in the film because this scene ended up on the cutting room floor. Though some things we do know are that Alex wasn't the driver, the driver was identified as Charlie by Alex, and Charlie would have been the one being tended to by Julia.
