Moving on to the beginning of the next scene in the seance sequence:
...
233 INT - GALLERY - NIGHT 233
as CAMERA TRUCKS, revealing them, it begins to CRANE
UP, ending with a HIGH WIDE ANGLE.
QUENTIN
Let us try to help you.
He suddenly stops and looks TOWARD CAMERA. They
all look at him. HOLD FOR A MOMENT.
ALEX
(softly)
Is she here?--
As Quentin casts his eyes around the room, he nods
his head, "yes."
And that's when today's quote -Page 107/Scene 233 - Quentin: 'I know you're here, Angelique. I know you're with us. Now you must listen. You must leave us alone. We know you were not a witch, that your death was unjust. We have found your bodies...yours and Charles'. We have buried them in holy ground.'
comes up.
And so we come to what's quite possibly the most confusing bit of dialogue in the film. If Angelique wasn't a witch, how does one explain so many things in the film? But that's a discussion best left until after we deal with the whole script because we've yet to get to something that's more than a bit confusing if Ang lacks supernatural powers...
Picking up Scene 233 where we left off:
TRUCK IN ON Quentin as he REACTS to something near
the top of the room, directly above the table. They
follow his gaze as ever so faintly a mist begins to
form and take shape. HOLD until we see the faint
outline of the face of Angelique.
And that's when today's quote -Page 107/Scene 233 - Angelique's voice: 'Come with me.'
comes up.
And in DC's script, right after the descriptions and directions and before Angelique's line, DC added:
QUENTIN'S P.O.V. - CLOUD OF ANGELIQUE
