James Goldman's Oliver Twist movie script



A couple years back, I did locate an actual copy of a bound script by James Goldman for 1982's Oliver Twist on a prop store site. It turned it had been setting on there for some time, but someone had just purchased it. This copy was apparently owned by a carpenter who worked on the sets. I believe it to be an earlier draft than the onbe that appeared in the CBS readering program. The top of one page hints at a scene that might have been cut, where Oliver says to Fagin: "I hope so, sir. Last time she came, she-"
This line of dialogue is missing from the film. Is he talking about Nancy?
