Setting up the current scene:
191 EXT: GREENHOUSE - COLLINWOOD GROUNDS - DAY 191
A blanket is spread out on the grass in front of the greenhouse. Maggie and Jeff, arm in arm, are slowly walking. David can be seen playing in the greenhouse in b.g.
MAGGIE You'd better get started. You want to be in Boston before dark, don't you?
JEFF (looking at watch) I still can't believe this is happening.

And that's when Thursday's first quote -
Page 85/Scene 191 - Maggie: 'Barnabas thinks you're very talented.'
- comes up, followed by Thursday's second quote -
Page 85/Scene 191 - Jeff: 'I guess he must -- to recommend me to the Evanston Gallery.'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations, we really have no way of knowing how things might have played in the film because this scene also ended up on the cutting room floor. But then, why would anyone watching the film be the slightest bit curious what Barnabas had done
for Jeff. The audience is simply watching and waiting for the next blood, gore and violence sequence, right? And the audience is getting antsy because there hasn't been anything since Carolyn's staking - just stupid music box scenes between Barnabas and Julia, and Barnabas and Maggie. And who cares if Willie is worried about Maggie or not? Let's get to it!! Well, at least that's the way DC was probably thinking...
But getting back to the script, there's additional dialogue added in the margin of the page for this section of the scene, but I'm going to hold off sharing that until next time because it's going to take quite a while to format it and I don't have the time to do that right now...
