And now the next section of Scene 59 as it appears in DC's script, starting off with today's quote:
And that's followed by the script continuing with:
And that's it for now.
And as far as the differences in the dialogue go, when it comes to today's quote, Alex actually says "So my rich landlord who, uh, doesn't charge rent, how's, uh, life in the old estate?" which sort of takes an element from what Alex was originally scripted to say, but that will come up once we get into the version of this section in Grayson's script - and then, as the second part of his dialogue from the second bit dealt with here, Alex actually says "Man, I thought you were never gonna show up" - and then for his third bit of dialogue dealt with here, Alex actually asks "Hey, Pal, what's wrong?"
And when it comes to the differences in the descriptions and directions, Alex actually gets up from the chair across the room that he's been sitting in and moves to sit next to Quentin on the couch as he asks Quentin how life is in the old estate - and in response to Alex, Quentin simply gives a little nod and smile rather than just looking at him.
And getting back to a notation that I'd mentioned that DC made in his script but I was holding off on getting into, that was because the notation says that Alex should have a "line about him being here for 2 weeks", which is no doubt why that was added later in this reworked section that we've just gotten into. But who knows why DC felt it was needed because, unless I'm forgetting something down the road, I don't think it ever pays off in any way in the script/film...
And in my next post we'll see how this section was written in Grayson's script...
Page 23/Scene 59 - Alex: 'My rich landlord who doesn't charge rent, how do you like the estate?'
And that's followed by the script continuing with:
Quentin looks at him. QUENTIN When did you and Claire get here? ALEX About two weeks ago. I thought you'd never get here. Quentin looks a little concerned. ALEX (noticing it) Hey -- what's the matter? Is something wrong? |
And that's it for now.
