Halfway down. So that's three and three-quarter pages. Not very happy with how it's going really, having to make choices I'm not sure about, but I think that's what I need to do right now, just keep going till this draft is done.

2 pages myself.
Adaptation is hard. I keep wanting to focus on the stuff I make up... rather than following the original material (which is what the producer wants).
Oh well. The main thing is to keep moving forward.
Frankly I'm just impressed you can write 3 pages by 12 noon.
3 and 3/4 is almost 4, so I'll let you off today.
Actually, in my experience of watching other writers, particularly ones who work on longer forms, such as screenplays and novels, the good times seem to come in waves. One week they'll be going great guns; the next, they'll be wailing about how hard it is and it isn't working and maybe they should just give up, and then the next week they're smiling and happy because they've made a breakthrough and wrote a 5000 word chapter in two days. I think people probably need the slower times to catch up with themselves.
Ben, good luck. Sounds a difficult project. But I think it's great that you're writing without 'someone' having to go away.
