I'd completely forgotten about the part in the script where Vicki checks her cell phone. The sequence is scripted as:
EXT. COLLINSPORT TRAIN STATION - NIGHT
The passenger train pulls to a stop with a SCREAM of brakes as Victoria steps onto the deserted platform. The train CHUGS as she looks vainly for her ride.VICTORIA
Hello? Anyone here?
Frustrated, Victoria pulls out her cell-phone. She gets the CHIRP from the power-up, then stops.VICTORIA (CONT'D) .
No signal.
(wry, eying old station)
No surprise.
Not sure what to do next, Victoria finally pulls her coat tighter and starts across the platform.And I most probably forgot about it because all that was dropped from the pilot. Well, at least all of Vicki's dialogue was. So, if she does still check her phone (which I don't remember if she does or not), she doesn't comment on it out loud. But given that she does in the script, then, yes, within the dropped dialogue that we're currently dealing with in the slideshow, the signal Carolyn refers to is in all probability a cell phone signal. And that certainly helps the dropped bits to make more sense. Though I still have problems with some of it. And I'll explain why that is and why I jumped to the apparently erroneous conclusion they were talking about TV reception after tomorrow's quote comes up.
