Darren, I'm so sorry about the skeleton discovery sequence--it always seems to be the way with these things...
And MB, thanks for the tip about the Movies book. I do own that book, but had never bothered to look at the screenplays very closely, since I'd already read the other draft of NoDS, for one. And looking through hoDS, I'm shocked at the jejune, listless quality of much of the dialogue--the cut scene where Roger, Liz and Barn visit the OH for the first time, for instance. VERY ho hum. Makes me wonder just how much time Gordon & Sam had to crank out that script--not much, I gather.
I think I found the "piano scene." I found a sequence that is a flashback to 1810 (and Lara wears the dress from the photo on the cover of the DS Music book--darn, am I sorry I never purchased that book!), with Parker, Selby, and Diana Millay. Truly fabulous. Since all 3 are alive and well, I don't see why we couldn't have a "staging" of that scene with the three reading their dialogue to the recovered footage.
I'll have to continue reading and see whether it was made more clear in this revised script the complicated idea GH explained in her notes about Carlotta not just keep the ghost alive, but actually experiencing Ang's orgasms when she was with Q! I quite liked that idea... sooo kinky!
