Finally wrapping up Scene 128 and the entire dining room sequence (which has featured in the slideshow for 15 days - but it is a very important scene in the film - and, actually, if the version of the sequence that is in the script used for the novelization had been what was used for the film, the days featured in the slideshow would have most probably been even longer - but more on that later today...). And we begin wrapping up with today's first quote -
Page 57/Scene 128 - Stokes: 'If you're leaving the house, Todd, I must warn you to be careful.'
- coming up, though it appears in the script as:
STOKES If you're leaving the house, Todd, I must warn you to be careful.
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 57/Scene 128 - Todd: 'Of what?!'
- comes up, followed by today's third quote -
Page 57/Scene 128 - Stokes: 'Because of your particular relationship with Carolyn, you are the person she is most likely to seek out.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
128 CONTD (3) (3) CONTD 128
Todd stares at him incredulously and then leaves.

End of scene/sequence as scripted - but if you recall the film, you know that's not how things end in it. But first:
As far as the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions go, as indicated by the crossed out part of today's first quote, Stokes' "If you're leaving the house" is dropped in the film, and as can be seen in today's first capture Stokes actually delivers the rest as "I must warn you to be careful, Todd" -
- as Todd is walking away - and as can be seen in today's second capture, Todd turns to look at Stokes as he delivers today's second quote -
- which he does exactly as scripted - and as can be seen in today's third capture, Stokes begins the third quote by warning "Because of your particular relationship with Carolyn" -
- while in a 2 shot with Julia, but the camera switches back to Todd as Stokes -
- continues with "you are the person she is most likely to seek out", after which Todd just responds with a look -
- as he wordlessly turns to leave - and that alarms Stokes, who quickly stands up and soon -
- he and Julia share extremely worried looks - and then in what would appear to be an unscripted ending to Scene 128, we see Todd walking down the hallway -
- toward the foyer (yet another example of how DC loves his hallway shots
), whereupon Todd stops by the bust -
- just inside the foyer - but then he turns to look back in -
- Stokes' and Julia's direction - and soon as he begins to hear Stokes' words echoing through his mind as "I believe Carolyn was destroyed by a vampire and tonight she walks as one of the living dead"(or the "just icky"
) - and he thinks upon them -
- he gets a determined look -
- and he decides to -
- move on to leave - after which the camera racks focus back to Julia and Stokes as Julia had been watching him leave -
- and then she looks up at Stokes -
- which is the actual end of Scene 128 and the entire sequence.
