Until I looked at the script to check something completely different about Scene 138, I didn't realize that Tracy's scripted reply to Alex is simply, "The best. Why?" - and obviously that was exactly what the closed captioning has. And it's definitely interesting how it happens quite frequently that the closed captioning reflects the script rather than what's actually said in the film.
But anyway, after Tracy asks Alex why he's brought up the Burton's gallery, Alex replies, "Tell you when I get back. You sure you're gonna be OK?" - and the subtitles completely reflect that - but the closed captioning oddly has -
- and in that case we can't even blame it on what's scripted because what's scripted is almost exactly what's actually said: "Tell you when we get back. You're sure you'll be OK?"

KITCHEN: A dismayed Mrs. Johnson watches as the Sheriff questions Willie: Where did he go after he dropped off Miss Winters? Willie protests he went back to the stables and got drunk. Patterson asks, why is he nervous? Where has he been for the last three days? Willie claims he was 'working'. Neither the Sheriff nor Roger believe him, but Victoria comes to his defense. Patterson asks Willie where he was working. Willie, by this time, has dissolved into tears, protesting he "doesn't feel too good". Barnabas arrives and is introduced. Barnabas confirms Willie's story - he heard in town that Willie knew the property and was available for work. He apologizes if he's caused any problem. Roger comments it would have been nice if they'd been told. Willie apologizes to all: he knows he hasn't been a good worker; he knew Roger was about to fire him, and that's why he took this job. Roger warns Barnabas, ''You don't know what you're taking on." Barnabas, "I somehow feel Willie wants to make a true start - don't you, Willie?" Willie agrees. Mrs. Johnson is pleased by this turn of events. Barnabas, warningly to Willie, ''We have much work to do." Patterson agrees that Willie can go with Barnabas. As they're leaving, Barnabas announces they're making splendid progress. He's already moved in. He invites them all to visit. He takes his leave. Mrs. Johnson admiringly, "Barnabas Collins must be a wonderful man." |
I think Sam and DC kept forgetting that the movie was set in Maine, not Tarrytown NY.
And I'd tend to agree with that. In fact, I even seriously wondered about it back when we were dealing with Claire and Tracy's shopping excursion, the unshot Scenes 81, 82 & 83, where the settings for Scenes 81 and 82 even say "EXT - TARRYTOWN STREET - DAY". But in this case, the unscripted additional dialogue that we hadn't gotten into yet yesterday helps to make it clear that Alex and Claire's trip to NY will take "a few days", so chances are they weren't going to Burton's Gallery that night.
Wrapping up Scene 138 and moving beyond with scripted as well as completely unscripted material, beginning with today's first quote -Page 68/Scene 138 - Alex: 'Tell you when we get back. You're sure you'll be OK?'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
139 INT - COLLINWOOD - LIMBO TELEPHONE AREA - NIGHT 139
And that's when today's second quote -Page 68/Scene 139 - Tracy (on telephone): 'Go, Alex...go. Nothing bad will happen to us now.'(Famous last words, as they say...)
- comes up.
End of things as scripted.
Switching things up a bit and leading with any differences in the scripted directions and descriptions, as we can easily tell from today's first capture -
- today's first quote takes place back at the cottage, as it was scripted to, rather than over the phone at Collinwood as had been happening earlier in the scene - and for some reason "LIMBO - TELEPHONE AREA" is presented a bit differently for Scene 139 than it was for Scene 137, and here DC doesn't cross out/replace it in his script with "CARD ROOM".
And now as far as any difference in the dialogue goes, Alex actually delivers today's first quote as "Tell you when I get back. You sure you're gonna be OK?" - but today's second quote is delivered exactly as scripted - however, unlike how things are scripted, they don't actually end there in the film. For one, as can be seen in today's second capture -
- Quentin is seen approaching the Card Room as Tracy tells Alex nothing bad will happen to her and Quentin - ...
