Moving through the next scene and setting up today's new scene:
HIGH ANGLE FROM BALCONY 124 INT: FOYER OF SWIMMING POOL BUILDING - NIGHT 124
David is still lying where he fell. Now he begins to stir and moan. He opens his eyes, winces as he puts his hand to his head. Then he struggles to his feet and climbs up on the planking. He stands there a moment, wondering how long he was out. He moves along the planking and looks into the swimming pool area.
125 INT: SWIMMING POOL AREA - NIGHT 125
David stands there looking up at the broken skylight through which the moon bathes the pool in eerie light. He has no idea what time it is, but he figures he'd better get back to the house right away. He turns to go but before he can take a step, he hears a strange VOICE in the distance. It seems to be coming from the far end of pool.

And that's when the first part of today's first quote -
Page 53/Scene 125 - Carolyn (OC): 'David!!'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
David spins around and stares into the darkness of the cavernous room. For a moment he is afraid to answer.

And that's when the second part of today's first quote -
Page 53/Scene 125 - Carolyn (OC): 'David!!'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 53/Scene 125 - David: 'Who is it! Who's calling me!'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, things don't play exactly as scripted. Scene 124 does indeed begin with David lying where he fell, opening his eyes, wincing as he puts his hand to his head, struggling to his feet, and climbing up on the cement block (not planking) - though one thing we don't see is David retrieving his ball, which was the whole reason for his fall (but that *may* be because the framing of the scene doesn't do down far enough to see David actually pick the ball up - however, it doesn't really look like it because we do see his hands and they never hold the ball) - and as he stands there he brushes -
- himself off - and then, unlike in the script, soon thereafter still in Scene 124 he hears the voice calling to him, and as we can see in today's first capture -
- this shocks him and soon he turns -
- and then he walks to the doorway -
- but unlike in the script, Scene 125 doesn't begin with David standing there looking up at the broken skylight through which the moon bathes the pool in eerie light, nor does he decide to get back to the house so he turns to go only before he can take a step, he hears a strange voice in the distance that seems to be coming from the far end of pool - and none of that takes place because Scene 125 actually begins with David going though the doorway part way and he hears -
- the voice call him a second time - and after moving out a bit more -
- is when he delivers today's second quote.
