Starting off the new sequence:
134 EXT. COLLINWOOD - DAY
It is a brisk, clear fall afternoon, a real snap in the air.
VICKI (O.S.) The capital of Utah is ...
And WE TIGHTEN TO some windows on the second floor.
135 INT. SCHOOLROOM - DAY
Where Vicki, a pointer in her hand, stands at a map of the United States. David sits at a small lift-top desk, one of four in front of her, constantly peering inside the slightly raised lid.
The room almost looks like a Victorian set from James' "Turn of the Screw", having served as a schoolroom for countless Collins children since the great house was built.
VICKI David...
136 FAVORING DAVID
Paying no attention to her, continuing to peer into the desk.

And that's when the first part of yesterday's quote -
Page 57/Scene 136 - Vicki (CONT'D): 'David, we only have ten more minutes ... please try to pay attention.'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
The boy doesn't answer, she frowns.
|
And that's when the second part of yesterday's quote -
Page 57/Scene 136 - Vicki (CONT'D): 'What's in that desk that's so fascinating?'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
137 CLOSE - DAVID
As he closes the lid, looks up at her, says nothing.
138 VICKI
Losing her patience, she crosses to him.
VICKI All right David, open the desk.
DAVID It's nothing.
VICKI It's obviously not nothing. (then, coaxingly, with a smile) Now, come on ... show and tell.
|
And that's when today's quote -
Page 57/Scene 138 - David: 'I don't think you want to know what's in here.'
- comes up.
And as for what's different in the pilot, there's quite a bit - but I'll get into that tomorrow...
