After today's quote -
Page 23 - David: 'You should be.'
- which David delivers exactly as scripted, the script indicates:
Victoria hesitates a moment, surprised by David's anger, then leaves. As she goes, PUSH IN on David, staring darkly—And end of scene.
It's interesting how these scenes between Vicki and David resemble similar scenes in the pilot for the '91 DS, yet they also have their own twists. And for those who've never seen the '91 DS, here's a synopsis of how the similar scenes played out:[spoiler]Int. Vicki's Bedroom - Night
After Carolyn leaves, Vicki picks up her robe and then goes into the bathroom.
Int. Bathroom
After hanging up her robe, and wanting to take a bath, Vicki goes to the bath tub and pulls back the shower curtain. David suddenly leaps out at her, shrieking. Pleased that his prank had the desired effect, David smirks and proudly proclaims that he scared her. She admits he did. Then he makes a point of saying that he doesn't want her there. Vicki tries to reach out to him, but he pulls away demanding that she not touch him and runs for the door. But Vicki beats him to it and blocks him. She then reassures him that she's not there to hurt him. However, all David wants is for her to open the door. Vicki does so, suggesting that they go to his room.
Int. David's Bedroom - Night
After refusing Vicki's help with his robe, David climbs into bed. He warns her that he's going to scare her again - and again. Vicki tries to tell him that she's there to be his friend, but David doesn't respond. And after she tells him to go to sleep and that she'll see him the morning, all David does is turn away from her onto his side. And after she leaves, he simply stares menacingly.[/spoiler]
Personally, I think David looking like he was drowned in Vicki's bath tub is a far worse trick then simply hiding behind the shower curtain to scare her, as he did in the pilot for the '91 DS. And the '04 Vicki is far more forceful with David than the '91 Vicki. The '91 Vicki mostly makes the point that she wants to be David's friend. But the '04 Vicki stresses that it doesn't matter if they become friends or not, she's in it for the long haul.
