When it comes to DC's script, Scene 84 and the setting and first descriptions of Scene 85 are exactly the same as they are in Grayson's script, so I won't repeat them. Things get very different once DC's script reaches its Page 35:
And when it comes to the dialogue, as I'd mentioned previously, none of it is in the film as scripted - and it's not really even in the film exactly as the changes that were made to some of the crossed out parts. Speaking of which, notations in DC's script make the following replacements in the dialogue:
(Revised 3/31/71) 85 CONTD CONTD 85 ANGELIQUE (O.S.) You must finish the picture. CHARLES (O.S.) Why? RACK FOCUS to the B.G. where Angelique and Charles are embracing. ANGELIQUE because when you do, you will give me the most marvelous gift of all - Charles looks at her, not understanding. I know you merely planned to paint it to torture her, but that's not enough. My darling, you must do it. CHARLES ANGELIQUE CHARLES ANGELIQUE We are in each other's souls, Charles. We can't escape it. They kiss. CHARLES ANGELIQUE There is a POUNDING ON THE DOOR. |
And when it comes to the dialogue, as I'd mentioned previously, none of it is in the film as scripted - and it's not really even in the film exactly as the changes that were made to some of the crossed out parts. Speaking of which, notations in DC's script make the following replacements in the dialogue:
- Angelique's "you must do it" is replaced with "you must bring the painting to life"
- Charles' "No" is replaced with "But why - we have each other - that's all that counts - she doesn't even exist for me"
- The entire section of dialogue beginning with Angelique's "Don't you want us to be like this always? ..." right through to Charles' ending with "... it's you I caress" is not only crossed out but X'd out and it's all replaced with Angelique saying "As long as she's here, we could never really have each other"
- And Angelique's "You will" is replaced with "I want you to"
- And after Angelique's "make the picture come true", "Please - promise me" is added.
