And picking up where we left off, we begin with the first quote from yesterday with reference to Barnabas' question about who Sarah is -
Page 54/Scene 124 - David: 'I'll show you!'
- followed by the script explaining:
125 OMITTED
126 ANOTHER ANGLE
As the boy turns, runs to the far side of the room, takes a small miniature painting from the ten or twelve that are sitting on the grand piano.
HOLD as he runs back to Barnabas, hands it to him.
|
And that's when yesterday's second quote -
Page 54/Scene 126 - David: 'It's her.'
comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
127 CLOSE BARNABAS
Shocked, doing his best to conceal his emotions as he stares at the small portrait.
128 INSERT - PORTRAIT
A small, thin, sweet-faced little girl of nine, dressed in a soft, long, white lace dress with ribbons and bows.
On the TRACK, WE BEGIN TO HEAR THE LILTING SOUND of a FLUTE ... Sarah's leit motif.
129 BACK TO BARNABAS
As he continues to stare at tile miniature painting. Suddenly, Roger’s voice:
|
And that's when today's first quote -
Page 55/Scene 129 - Roger (O.S.): (laughingly) 'Don't let it bother you Barnabas...'
comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
Barnabas is abruptly pulled out of his revery, he turns...
129A BACK TO ROGER
Who is standing there smiling at him.
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 55/Scene 129A - Roger (CONT'D): '... David has a very active imagination.'
comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
He ruffles David's hair, but the boy pulls angrily away. It's an uncomfortable moment.
|
And when it comes to differences, there are several. David doesn't actually run to or from the piano, he simply walks, and the only frame we actually see on the piano is the one containing Sarah's painting - and we actually see the shot of the painting before we see Barnabas' reaction to it - and thankfully we're spared any flute music possibly playing "London Bridge Is Falling Down" as the music underscoring the scene simply continues to play - and Roger does not laughingly tell Barnabas not to let things disturb him because he actually delivers the line quite seriously - and after a decidedly unsmiling Roger takes the painting away from Barnabas, he explains that David has a very active imagination with a touch of disgust to his voice - unlike in the script, Roger doesn't make light of anything about the situation, nor does he ruffle David's hair or does David pull away from him afterward because Roger simply glares at David.
