Revisiting how Scene 174 is scripted:
And so far as "today's" quotes and "second capture" go, they are indeed today's, May 7th's.
And moving on to today's new scene:
174 EXT - COTTAGE LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 174
as Alex ENTERS THE SHOT from the bedroom, he crosses
to the bar and pours himself a drink. He sips, sits
and begins to unwrap the package. Claire ENTERS THE
SHOT from the kitchen, carrying a tray of sandwiches.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 81/Scene 174 - Claire: 'Coffee's coming --'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 81/Scene 174 - Alex: 'I need this more --'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, Alex actually says "Need this more --"
And when it comes to the descriptions and the directions, we don't actually see Alex enter from the bedroom, or cross to the bar to pour a drink, nor sipping the drink to then sit and unwrap the portrait - and as we can see from today's second capture, Alex actually delivers today's quoted line -
- off screen.
Also, it's interesting that the scripted opening of Scene 174 isn't on the list of unrecovered footage, so there's at least a possibility that if it was shot, it does appear in the 129 minute version. Or it may simply be that because it was only a trim, and a pretty insignificant one at that, it simply just wasn't put on the unrecovered list...
