Continuing with Scene 127, beginning with today's first quote -
Page 55/Scene 127 - Stokes: 'David, come here for a minute ...'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
David goes to Stokes. Maggie takes two steps after him and stops. Before she gets to Elizabeth,David crosses to Stoke's left. LIZ Eliot please I can't take any more of this
|
And we see that Liz' line that is used for today's second quote is an addition DC added to his script. And normally we only use actual dialogue in the scripts for quote. But that is such an important moment in the scene that an exception was made.
So, when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, and the notations, things in the scene finally reach the point when Stokes delivers his actually scripted line on camera -
- though he simply delivers it as "David, come here" - and after we see David begin -
- to move toward Stokes, for some reason that is interrupted by a close-up of Liz -
- which is probably the close-up that DC notes as intended for earlier in the scene when Roger reprimands David for supposedly pulling one of tricks when he says Carolyn is alive, and I honestly think it would have been much more effective there, but apparently DC did not - and then we see David walk past Maggie as he gets closer to Liz -
- but unlike what the script indicates, Maggie does not take two steps after him and then stops because she never actually moves from the spot she's been standing in all along - and then once David comes up behind Liz chair is when she delivers -
- her line that was added to the script, though she simply delivers it as "Eliot, please", as a beseechment for him to stop, which of course he won't...
