Wow. Thank you, Chromolume. That is so weird. In Finishing the Hat (where he didn't seem to pay all that close attention to certain things and got so much wrong) and in the old MTI script, it is as in the original Random House script and as it was done in the original production.
This would have been a good question to add to the list of very specific questions I had drafted in rough form and had long planned to finalize and send to him. On Thursday, November 25, 2021, I said to myself, "Alan, this weekend you really must finalize the letter with the questions and send it to him because who knows how much longer he'll be around?" And the next day, he died. But I had really expected him to be around a few more years. |
