Continuing to revisit how Scene 117 is scripted:
And when it comes to today's quote from Scene 117, Carlotta's response to Quentin's belief that it's important to her that he work in the tower room -
Page 56/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'It isn't. It just seemed so ideal --'
- there is no difference in the film because it's delivered exactly as scripted.
And when it comes to any differences in the directions and the descriptions, there aren't any of either in the script for this section. However, one thing that is interesting with both today's and yesterday's captures is that obviously Carlotta has turned to look at Quentin. There's no indication of that in the script or in DC's notes, but there is in Grayson's script, at least when it comes to today's quote, because Grayson has a note that Carlotta would look at him. Her notes also reiterate that it must be clear that what Carlotta is saying is important (and in this case it must mean the part about how working in the tower seems ideal because saying that Quentin working in the tower isn't important to her is quite obviously a big fat lie! ). Though something that is in DC's script is a note saying that the camera would truck back in front of Quentin till it's in back of Carlotta for a 2 shot. And while we don't actually see that camera move, we do see the 2 shot from behind Carlotta. Well, if seeing a shot that includes Carlotta's lower arm and hand can be considered a 2 shot.
And so far as the reference to "today's quote" goes, it was from February 25th this time around.
Continuing Scene 117, first with the first part of today's quote -
Page 56/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'That's not the reason. (MORE)'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
117 CONTD CONTD 117
QUENTIN (Contd)
He crosses to her, looking down at her.

And that's when the second part of today's quote -
Page 57/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'You know about these dreams, don't you?'
- comes up.
And when it comes to the differences in the dialogue, for the second part of today's quote, Quentin actually says "You know about the dreams I've been having, don't you?", and that change is made in DC's script, with "these" crossed out and replaced with "the" and "I've been having" added.
And when it comes to the differences in the directions and the descriptions, Quentin puts down his paint palette as he moves toward Carlotta - and as Quentin accuses her of knowing about his dreams, I love the look Carlotta gives him -
- and with the slight cock to her head.
And when it comes to DC's notes, he strangely indicates that Quentin rises before he tells Carlotta that her saying his working in the tower just seemed ideal is not the reason his working in the tower is important to her. Well, unless he means Quentin's voice and anger rise, which they do.
And as far as the references to "today's" quotes go, they are indeed today's, February 26th's, this time around.
