Wrapping up Scene 127 and beginning a somehow already started Scene 128:
David and Maggie exit. Roger turns to Stokes.
ROGER |_________________ CUR Alright, Elliot, what is it you want to say?
STOKES (To Roger) I believe he saw Carolyn and I suggest we try to find her, now. START HERE CONTINUED
Keep SIX Going all the way for reverse and position III A

And that's when today's quote -
Page 56/Scene 128 - Roger (taking charge): 'Eliot, I think it is shocking that you're willing to take seriously the hallucinations of a very upset child!'
- comes up, followed in the script by the end of that section of Roger's dialogue:
ROGER
We are not going anywhere!

And so, as far as the dialogue, the descriptions, the directions, and the notations go, let's first backtrack to yesterday where the script said Maggie would "ad lib": "That's alright, David, come with me now. We'll talk about it later." Though if the script actually tells you what to say, is that really an ad lib? But be that as it may, after Roger says practically that same thing to David, once again Maggie -
- actually puts her hand on David's waist, not his shoulders - and as she leads David out of the room she actually ad libs -
"We need to go to your room." - though she says it so softly that unless you turn the volume way up, it's almost impossible to hear her - and then Roger does indeed turn back to Stokes, but as Todd stares at Stokes, Roger swallows hard -
- before he moves closer to the table and asks -
- Stokes his first lines in the section of the scene covered today, which he actually delivers as "Well, Elliot, what is it you want to say?" (and presumably in his mind he's spelled "Eliot" correctly) though obviously, unlike DC's notation, Roger is not in close-up - and after Stokes is seen in close-up (though DC had a notation that he would be seen in profile but erased most of it) as he -
- delivers "I believe he saw Carolyn", the camera switches to an unindicated close-up of Liz as -
- Stokes finishes off camera with "and I suggest we try to find her now" - and at that point DC's script has an odd notation that says "START HERE", but he doesn't elaborate, so it hard to know what he means - I don't think he's referring to the other notation at the bottom of the page that indicates that six cameras are shooting the scene simultaneously because that seems to have been happening throughout the entire scene - but who knows because apparently at this point only DC did? - and then when we move to the next page in the script, very oddly we're suddenly in a continuation of Scene 128 without ever having been shown where Scene 128 begins - but apparently the revision of Scene 127, which ends on page 55, replaced the beginning of Scene 128 and for all intents and purposes Scene 128 scene simply begins with page 56 and Roger's quote for today, which he actually delivers as "Eliot, I think it is shocking that you're willing to believe the hallucinations of a very upset child" - and Roger finishes with the end of that section of his dialogue with an extremely angry -
- "We are not going anywhere!", exactly as scripted.
