Insight's "The Silent Partner" IC
Renna manages to wrench her starstruck eyes off her uncle and onto the script. For a heartstopping moment she feels like she's trapped in a nightmare. She's being offered a screentest, a part...but the script! She can't read it! They're all waiting for her and she'll have to admit that Miss University, Miss Smarty-In-The-Pants can't even read...
With effort, Renna forces the emotions back. She's not reading for a part. And if Mr.Neal can't read it, they can hardly be upset if she can't either. So she squints a little and tries to make the scribbles out...

Renna makes out the following amongst the scribbled notes:
[sblock=Notes]
Next to the following...
THE STRANGER
But madam, you can easily see that all is not well.
Camilla pauses. She starts to faint. The Stranger catches her.
CAMILLA
All is not well.
THE STRANGER
The lake is on fire and so is my heart, dear Camilla. It burns for --
CAMILLA
Do not say it. You say one more word and I will fade away.

... it says (note)
(indecipherable) can't possibly read this (indecipherable) without laughing! Rewrite!
===
... and next to the following on the same page...
The MOON descends to the floor. The Moon becomes A YELLOW MAN.
===
... it says:
How the (indecipherable) are we supposed to do this? You can't just change a moon into a person! H H

Renna also sees that German translations of the screenplay text content are scribbled into the white space on either side of the English text. These are all direct translations and nothing of particular interest.

Jack grabbed some of the playbills off of the ground, and looked to see if he knew what they meant. He also had a nagging feeling that something was not right with Bill...

[sblock=Psychology]Bill seems as though he's been asleep for quite some time. Based on the time that has passed since Jack last saw Bill, this seems impossible.[/sblock]
Everyone present:
The playbills are all the same. They advertise "HARRY HOUDINI, THE ONE AND ONLY!" and his upcoming show at RIO ALTO THEATRE. The playbills show illustrations of Houdini in various contortions and man-traps. The show is scheduled for April 2nd (two nights from today) and is "ONLY $1.25".

Face realizes who Harry Houdini is, but hasn't quite put together that he's supposed to have died two and a half years ago.
Renna frowns slightly and clears her throat.
"They look like notes from an editor, perhaps. Or maybe the author himself. He...is criticizing the draft, here he wishes to rewrite a scene. And here...he complains about the moon changing into a man, and how hard that will be to do."
She looks again at the scribble, and a little flower of insight blossoms.
"Oh, but I think these are initials at the end! H and then H again."
Renna looks up hopefully at Murnau and Neal.
"Does that help?"
