In the two and a third years since the shoot, this is really the first time I've bothered to think about which lines of dialogue the actors changed; for the most part I thought Edith and Dylan did a very nice job of staying close to the spirit of the scene when they made adjustments. I managed to get through all of the film script except the largely-improvised yard sale scene, which will take more work than all the other scenes combined.
