51 INT - PANTRY - DAY 51
Gerard is filling a thermos of coffee from the
electric urn. Carlotta enters.
51 CONTD CONTD 51
And that's when today's quote -Page 18/Scene 51 - Gerard: 'Do you know what happened last night? [She does not answer.] Do you?'
- comes up.
And there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written up to this point. However, once again Grayson's script has extensive notes for this scene, and once again we'll get into all of them as the scene unfolds. But for now, the first notations are that with this scene there's a big transition from the previous scene - here for Carlotta it's all about power and intent and desperation - and Carlotta's not answering Gerard's question at first is her way of angrily giving it to him.
And as for anything that's different with the dialogue, the only thing is that Gerard asks "Do you?" much more forcefully than the script might indicate.
And as for what's different when it comes to the directions and descriptions, Gerard fills his thermos from a pot of coffee, not from an electric urn - and Grayson adds the notation to her script that Carlotta enters "with tray + coffee".
And finally I do have to say that I love the expression on Carlotta's face in today's capture, and here's a closer look:
Continuing with Scene 51, beginning with today's first quote -Page 18/Scene 51 - Carlotta: 'Everything has changed now. You must accept-'
- coming up, followed by today's second quote -Page 18/Scene 51 - Gerard (interrupting): 'I was good enough before he came, now...'
- coming up.
... for this section the next notations in Grayson's script say "other side" (and I'm not quite sure what that means), "no pretense", and "authoritative".
... And what's unfortunate about all this is that as the film currently stands, the audience doesn't have the vaguest clue as to what they're talking about. Not that everything would be clear with Scenes 41 through 44 in the film because there would still be quite a bit of mystery - but at least the audience would know that Quentin was drawn to the tower room, Gerard is aware of that because while he was outside the night before he saw Quentin pass by the tower room windows, and for some reason as yet unknown, Gerard reacted to that sight with blazing hatred.
And as for what's different with the directions and descriptions, Gerard doesn't actually cut Carlotta off.
And wrapping up Scene 51, beginning with today's quote -Page 18/Scene 51 - Carlotta (snapping at him): 'Go to the stables. He will be down to ride soon. [Gerard is about to object.] I've told you things are different now.'
- coming up, followed by the script explaining:
She just looks at him. Finally, he turns and
slams his way out of the room.
... Grayson's script notation for this part says "On the edge of violence. Losing temper."
...
And as for what's different when it comes to the directions and descriptions, Gerard doesn't attempt to object in the middle of Carlotta's lines - and Gerard doesn't so much slam his way out of the room as he grabs his thermos and the cover and leaves - however, in an unscripted action, Carlotta carries the tray over to the counter and slams it down in anger and frustration. And I love her body language -
- because there's no doubt as to who's in charge.

- a screen capture from my DVR...
Barnabas searches, meeting up with Julia. You shouldn't be here, he says, you can't stop me. He can't think in this situation. When he gets Adam back, what will he do? Stronger chain? Another helper? Let him disappear, begs Julia. Rain pours down as Adam hears their voices. Barnabas wants Julia to go back to the house--I must find and kill Adam--I've known it all along but couldn't face it--Adam is too dangerous, and I worry what will happen to the creation if anything happens to me
