Revisiting how Scene 82 is scripted:
And again with the script referring to a Tarrytown street.
...
CUT TO:
82 EXT - TARRYTOWN STREET - DAY 82
as they walk along looking in the windows.
And that's when today's quote -Page 32/Scene 82 - Tracy: 'It's not that he doesn't try. He goes to his tower every day but not much really happens.'
comes up.
...
Wrapping up Scene 82 as Claire and Tracy window shop and talk about Quentin's lack of getting work done:
CLAIRE
Is he worried about it.
TRACY
No ... I don't think so. But
sometimes he seems so far away,
it's hard to know what he's
thinking.
And that's when the 5th's quote -Page 32/Scene 82 - Claire: 'You know, that's what I felt when I first met him in Paris. He was so ... so super moody. He and Alex always connected. But I spent the first month just trying to figure him out.'
comes up, followed by the 6th's quote -Page 32/Scene 82 - Claire: (contd) 'Those eyes always seem to see so much. And then everything becomes a kind of private thing. But that's what's so great about him. Don't you like dark brooding men of mystery?
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
TRACY
Yes.
They both laugh.
End of scene - though not of sequence (the infamous Gregory comes up in Scene 83).
And there's absolutely nothing to get into when it comes to differences with the dialogue, the descriptions, or the directions because nothing here was ever shot. And that's a shame because it not only showcases the Claire/Tracy friendship, it gives background on the Jenkins/Collins friendship and some insight into Quentin. But then we all know that DC rarely met a character oriented scene that he didn't want to drop...
...
And again with the script referring to a Tarrytown street.
