Revisiting how Scene 69 is scripted:
...
CUT TO:
(Revised 3/31/71)
69 EXT - GREENHOUSE - DAY 69
Quentin and Tracy are sitting on a blanket. Their
two horses graze nearby. Picnic things are in
evidence. Quentin is busily sketching Tracy when
she finally gets up.
And that's when today's quote -Page 28A/Scene 69 - Tracy: 'Come on. I don't care if it is dangerous. I want to look inside.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
Quentin AD LIBS OK and, getting up, takes her hand
as they cross to the greenhouse.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, we have no way of knowing at this point because this scene doesn't appear in the film as it stands - though it does appear in the 129 minute version. And this time around there are no notations in DC's script.
It's also worth noting that even though the page says this is part of the 3/31 rewrite, it isn't. Scene 69 as well as Scene 70 appear exactly as they were written in Grayson's earlier version of the script. It's just that because so much new material was added to DC's script that Scenes 69 & 70 extended onto page 28A, whereas in Grayson's script they're on page 28.
