In order to fully illustrate the confusion with the end of Scene 107, we need to backtrack just a bit to show what the script looks like:
One thing that's probably apparent is that Barnabas line about not knowing when he would be back was to be delivered after Julia's added lines. However, were Julia's lines supposed to be a part of the end of Scene 107 and were simply written on the script page as part of Scene 108 because that's where there was space for them at the bottom of the page, or were they supposed to part of Scene 108. If it's the latter, then Barnabas line was taken out of Scene 107 and put into Scene 108. And what complicates things further is that it's unclear what the "^" between the words "turns" and "to" and the added "rt" above it means.
But anyway, regardless of how things were meant to play, we have no way of actually pinning it down because Scene 107 ended up on the cutting room floor.
And while Scene 108 probably survives in the film as the interlude after Scene 106 of Maggie and Jeff laughing together and "John" and other extras dancing -
- and milling around, who knows if it was originally DC's intent to have Julia's added lines play off screen during Scene 108 and then to have Barnabas' reaction to seeing Maggie and Jeff play either on screen or simply as dialogue off screen as with Julia. And as it stands in the film now, no one would have any idea whatsoever that Scene 108 was scripted to be Barnabas' P.O.V. as he watches Maggie and Jeff...
Also, I do wonder if Jeff was supposed to be drunk it that Scene 108 interlude or is his seemingly falling over onto Maggie for some other reason? Check out the GIF I posted back in reply 301 to see what you think...
