Hospital - Quentin gets dressed. He looks in the mirror and adjusts his hideous mustard-colored shirt. Cyrus enters. Quentin asks, "What's the bad news?" Cyrus, chart in hand, notes, the tests proved most fascinating. You mean I have to go through more? asks Quentin. No, we've completed them, responds Cyrus. Don't tell me I have some hitherto undiscovered tropical disease, says Quentin. If you had, says Cyrus, perhaps I'd have known what to do. What are you talking about? asks Q. There's nothing wrong with you, says Cyrus. This shocks Quentin, who asks, WHAT?--you must have made a mistake. No mistake, says Cyrus, you're in perfect physical condition. You saw me last night, Quentin reminds him--in extreme pain, barely able to breathe. I'm aware of that, says Cyrus, but these tests don't lie--you're in sound health. Did the report say anything about mys mental condition? asks Quentin. Mentally, you're fine--as well balanced as anyone I know, says Cyrus (that's not good!) A man doesn't have an attack for no reason, says Quentin--there must be either a mental or physical cause. There's a third possibility, suggests Cyrus--the symptoms appeared so suddenly, without any reasons whatsoever, or warning, that this must have been caused by something supernatural. Quentin stares at him.

And so far there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written - however, in DC's script Scenes 25 -27 have a box drawn around them and a big X in the box, which means that DC didn't intend to shoot them. But despite that, or more likely before she was aware that those scenes weren't going to be shot, Grayson Hall added a note in her script that reads "See that it's him at last the answer to the dream".

... there's something that's different and correct in the VHS version of the film (well, correct to a point because the color timing is still off when it comes to the VHS) but unfortunately different and not correct in every other version. And that would be Scene 24:
VHS:
Every Other Version:
At least those other versions have the sound of the car door shutting...

... the closed captioning would have gotten it perfectly if the "18th" part of "18th-century" in the middle part of it had displayed, but it didn't -
- but it could be the case that with different settings it may display, just as different settings caused the missing "any" to show up in Quentin's line "I didn't mean any of it, though" back when we were dealing with the closed captioning for Scene 170 (I'll have to check things out when I get the chance) ...
When we were outside the door, we heard voices, notes Julia--who was it? I was talking to myself, says Carolyn, rocking vigorously, I often talk to myself because I'm alone so much--I don't like being alone--I ask myself how long it will be before they all come back. Before WHO comes back? asks Barnabas. Everyone, answers Carolyn--do you know where they've gone? Barnabas looks at Julia and patiently asks Carolyn, who are you talking about? If you do know, says Carolyn, you must tell me, you mustn't keep it a secret from me.She grows petulant, gritting her teeth, and says, it isn't fair! Barnabas and Julia exchange sympathetic looks.

23 EXT - COLLINWOOD PORTICO 23
as the car ENTERS THE SHOT and pulls up in front
of the house. Quentin and Tracy both get out and
starts to unpack the back seat.
And that's when Friday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'What do you bet I turn into one of those women you see in House & Garden.'
- comes up, followed by Friday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin (still busily unpacking): 'I can see it now, Mrs. Quentin Collins in her fashionable jeans at her 18th-century rosewood desk making out the menus for the week.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
She starts laughing.
And that's when Saturday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin: 'Oh, there is a housekeeper, you know.'
- comes up, followed by Saturday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'Oh, great! I bet she looks just like Mrs. Danvers.
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
QUENTIN
I'm sure she does.
And that's when Sunday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'Well, at least it solves one problem. She can probably do everything and I'll just simply lounge around arranging flowers.'
- comes up, followed by Sunday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin: 'And loving me.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
23 CONTD CONTD 23
TRACY
And loving you.
Quentin starts for the rear of the car to open
the trunk.
End of scene.
And so far there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written. However, in DC's script he has added a notation that the opening of Scene 23 where the car pulls up to the house will be shot from the interior of the car and through the window.
