Setting up today's scene:
86 INT: GALLERY - NIGHT 86
The portrait of Barnabas Collins hanging on the wall. The CAMERA PULLS BACK. Barnabas is standing near the portrait. We see his face for the first time. Liz is staring at him, then at the portrait.

And that when today's first quote -
Page 29/Scene 86 - Liz: 'The likeness is extraordinary, isn't it, Carolyn?'
- is scripted to come up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 29/Scene 86 - Carolyn: 'Yes --'
- as it's scripted to come up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, in the film things don't play quite like they're scripted, but we'll get into that after tomorrow's quote comes up in the slideshow...
And when it comes to the descriptions and the directions, I'm a bit surprised that DC didn't cut from the shot of Barnabas' hand/ring and cane in Scene 85 to a similar opening shot of Barnabas' hand/ring and cane in the portrait in Scene 86 and then pull back. It seems like what he would do. But he opens the scene with just a simple shot of the portrait -
- and we do not see Liz at all, not staring at Barnabas or staring at the portrait.
