Wrapping up Scene 119 and moving beyond (using Grayson's script), beginning with today's quote -
Page 60/Scene 119 - Strack: 'The evil must be driven from the land -- before it destroys us all.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
GABRIEL (a sigh) You are right. There is no other way. Strack Sarah reacts, as Trask moves to the window, looks down and nods.
120 EXT - COLLINWOOD - DAY 120 STRACK'S THROUGH THE WINDOW - TRASK'S P.O.V.
Four strong men stand staring up at the window. At Strack'sTrask's nod, they move off in the direction of the house.

And as far as differences in the dialogue go, Strack actually says "This evil" - and Gabriel actually says "You're right."
And as far as differences in the directions and the descriptions go, there aren't any of either in the script that pertain to the dialogue, however, DC's script has a note that indicates that Strack (though it's still Trask in his script) crosses to Gabriel as he warns that the evil must be driven from the land, and as can be seen in today's capture -
- that is what happens - but what neither the script nor DC indicates is that while Strack is saying "before it destroys us all", as can be seen in this next capture -
the camera is actually on a close-up of Sarah - and while DC's script also has a notation that Gabriel isn't suppose to appear in the shot until after Strack is finished with his warning, obviously, as can also be seen in today's capture, that is not the case - and as can be seen in this next capture -
- Gabriel remains in the shot after Sarah's reaction to Strack's warning and before Sarah's reaction to Gabriel coming around that there is no other way - but DC's notation also indicates that the camera would whip to Sarah and truck in on her reaction to Gabriel's decision, however, the shot of Sarah's reaction is not whipped to, and as can be seen in this next capture -
- the framing of the shot remains the same as the previous shot of her and there is no trucking in - and after Sarah's final reaction shot, not only don't we see Strack go anywhere near the window, Scene 120 is actually dropped in all versions of the film.
And one thing that's interesting about Scene 119 is that there's much more of Sarah in it than is indicated in the script. But as we'll soon see, adding more of Sarah is a situation that will be quite dramatically reversed because all sorts of her stuff will be dropped left and right before too long...
And finally, the original slideshow for NoDS included this line -
NoDS: Scene #119 - Gabriel: 'You're right. There is no
other way.' - because it was quoted in the Fest's 1999 Movie Calendar, upon which the original slideshow is based.
