The way Scene 85 actually begins in the film isn't with the transition in Scene 84 from Quentin's view of the unfinished painting to a view of it in 1810 because, like several other instances of the subconscious memory scenes, things actually cut to a close-up of Quentin -
- staring and blinking his eyes, and from there they go to the subconscious memory of the painting in 1810 -
- and from there the camera doesn't rack focus to the background where Angelique and Charles are embracing because the camera actually slowly pans from the painting to them, by first showing their reflections in a mirror as they make out, all kisses and moans -
- and then the couple themselves as they become -
- a mass of entwined body parts.
And whereas the 18th's slideshow's quote -
Page 35/Scene 85 - Angelique: 'You must finish it because when you do, you will give me the most marvelous gift of all -'
- comes from DC's version of the script, what actually happens in the film is Angelique declares (with regard to Laura) -
Angelique: 'As long as she's here in this house, I can't be
happy.' - which is most certainly strongly implied in the rewrite in DC's script, but isn't said outright as such. And rather than the 19th's slideshow's quote -
Page 35/Scene 85 - Angelique: 'We are in each other's souls, Charles. We can't escape it.'
- which also comes from DC's version of the script, though from a much later point in the scene, what actually happens in the film right after Angelique's remark (with regard to Laura) is that Angelique then asks Charles -
Angelique: 'Bring the painting to life, Charles. Please -
promise me.' - which is a reworked version of something that was added by DC to his script near the end of the rewrite - though without being within the context of everything that was dropped from the rewrite, neither of Angelique's lines in the film take on the sinister tone they would have otherwise had had the majority of the rewrite been included in the film.
But after the rewritten section, things in Scene 85 return to basically what is written in both Grayson's and DC's scripts, and that's that after the pounding on the door is heard, it's followed in the script by:
(Revised 3/31/71)

And that's when today's quote -
Page 35A/Scene 85 - Gabriel (O.S.): 'Charles, I want to talk to my wife.'
- comes up and is delivered exactly that way in the film.
