Continuing Scene 117, beginning with yesterday's quote, Quentin's response to the portrait belonging in the room -Page 56/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'I find it distracting. I don't want it around.'
- coming up, followed by today's quote -Page 56/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'There would be fewer distractions if you went back to the tower.'
- coming up.
And as far as any differences in the dialogue, there aren't any because both Quentin's and Carlotta's lines are delivered exactly as scripted.
And as far as any differences in the directions and the descriptions, there aren't any at this point. Nor are there any notations in DC's script for this section. And what's interesting about DC's script is that there's no indication that beginning with Quentin's quote from yesterday, the camera switches to a 2 shot from a different angle, as can be seen in -
- yesterday's capture.
However, Grayson's notes for this section of the scene reiterate that Carlotta will relate to the painting, by touching and caressing it (although, all Carlotta really does is arrange the painting so that it stands on its side on its own). And also that Carlotta must be clear that what she's saying is important.

Tracy notices that Quentin has removed Angelique's portrait from the gallery.
Today I want to begin to preview a moment in the slideshow from Scene 117 that will be coming up on February 28th. The following first version of the still appeared in the NoDS Pressbook -
- not once but twice, first as part of the above article and then separately on another page (which also happened to feature a second version of the Angelique still which was used along with the "Too Much Realism...Almost" article (which I linked to in Reply #56) and which I shared in Reply #119). Why share the same still twice, and both with the exact same caption? Who knows? It certainly wasn't like there was a shortage of stills that could have been shared...
But anyway, here's the actual still:

Will you let them take me out of this house? asks Liz. Only because of you, to help you, says Carolyn. There's no help for me, away from Collinwood, murmurs Liz--don't let them do this to me! You're making it very difficult, says Carolyn. I want to stay here--what could be less difficult? Asks Liz. Please, begs Carolyn, please, if you won't do it for yourself, then do it for me--I won't rest easily until I know what's wrong with you--she looks at Roger.. I see, says Liz, you've made up your minds without consulting me. you're in no position to make the decision, says Carolyn. Very well, says Liz, I can't fight all of you--if I must go, remember, that you and you alone are in charge--I don't want any decisions made, not about David or anything else, until I return. Roger looks surprised at this directive. I'll try to do everything as you would do, promises Carolyn.
The truth came to me tonight in a dream, he says--about your husband--until tonight, it had only been a suspicion, but after my dream, I'm convinced Quentin is in league with the devil. Mr. Trask! scoffs Samantha--are you serious? Yes, he says--your husband is guilty of practicing the foulest acts of witchcraft--he was responsible for the death of poor Lorna Bell, and there is also the possibility he was involved in the death of Roxanne. Samantha stares at him. I see, she says, and this dream of yours constitutes the only evidence you have against Quentin? The dream revealed the truth to me, he says, Lorna Bell was branded on her forehead with a strange sign, the same sign Quentin wears on a ring--now, his strange behavior offers further evidence of his guilt--surely you've noticed how odd he's been acting since his return.As a matter of fact, says Samantha, I've always been a bit troubled by the work he does down in his lab--I figured it was just his eccentric way of trying to fill time. No, Madame, says Trask, 'tis much more than that! Whether you're right or wrong, says Sam, it's impossible for me to leave Collinwood--Quentin would never let me take Tad, but I would be interested in anything else you might happen to find out. I will keep you fully informed, he promises, rubbing his hands together--and you can help by keeping an eye on Quentin's activities. Yes, she says, brushing off Ima Fly, I intend to do so. Because, says Trask, if what I told you is true, something will have to be done. I quite agree, she says, something must be done.
