And now working up to today's scene:
CUT TO:
182 EXT - WOODS - NIGHT 182
as Tracy walks, trance-like, TOWARD CAMERA.
DISSOLVE TO:
183 EXT - SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT 183
as Tracy ENTERS the building.
184 INT - SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT - HIGH ANGLE 184
Tracy is a small figure as she ENTERS the darkened building. Then, still trance-like, she walks along the edge of the murky water toward the back of the pool.
TRACY - LOW ANGLE
as she walks TO CAMERA, then stops. SLOWLY TRUCK IN ON HER as she begins to realize where she is. Then shaking her head as if to clear her mind, she begins to look around.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 85/Scene 184 - Tracy (frightened): 'What am I doing here?... What?...'
- comes up.
And when it comes to possible differences, so little of what's scripted above is seen in the film as it currently stands, so it's hard to know what might have been different. And an interesting thing is that what's missing from the film isn't on the list of unrecovered scenes - but given the way things play in the film, it's hard to imagine that much of what's missing could be in the 129 minute version. For example, after we see Tracy tossing and turning in bed with Angelique's eyes superimposed over her in Scene 178A, in the film things immediately cut to -
- the outside of the swimming pool with Angelique's eye superimposed over it - and soon a trance-like Tracy is seen -
-approaching - and as she begins -
- to ascend the stairs, she suddenly stops -
- and appears to regain her senses - after which she moves to go -
- inside - whereupon things cut to the inside -
- but shot from a low angle - and soon Tracy -
- appears, shot from that same angle. There's no Scene 182 of Tracy walking trance-like in the woods and moving toward camera (however, there's a definite cut in the background music and a noticeable shift in Angelique's image when things transition from Tracy in bed to the outside of the swimming pool building, so Scene 182 may exist in the 129 minute version and it could be another case where it's possible that something was simply cut for time during the marathon editing) - and at no time is the interior of the swimming pool or Tracy shot from a high angle - nor is Tracy seen, still trance-like or otherwise, as she walks along the edge of the murky water toward the back of the pool - nor is there a slow truck in on her as she begins to realize where she is (especially considering that in the film she appears to have already realized where she is before she enters) - nor does she shake her head as if to clear her mind - nor does she ever deliver today's quote. In fact, tomorrow we'll begin to get into exactly what Tracy does actually do upon entering the building...
