Continuing to revisit how Scene 104 is scripted:
Moving on with Scene 104, beginning with Tracy's reply to Quentin:
TRACY Why think about it? After what happened last night we don't have a choice. Let me ask Car- lotta about a doctor.
He gets up and starts to pace. She notices the limp.
|
And that's when today's quote -
Page 45/Scene 104 - Tracy: 'What's wrong with your leg.'
- comes up.
And there's still absolutely nothing to get into when it comes to the differences with the dialogue, the descriptions, or the directions because this scene only appears in the 129 minute version of the film. Though it is the case that in the script Tracy's quoted line does indeed end with a period rather than a question mark. And for this section of the scene DC's script notations indicate that there's a 2 shot of Tracy and Quentin while she points out that they don't have a choice and she wants to ask Carlotta about a doctor, and then when Quentin paces/limps he moves toward the camera. But again, we can't necessarily expect that's actually the way things play because the camera shots in the film don't always follow DC's notes.
As far as "today's quote" goes, it was January 2nd this time around.
Moving on with Scene 104, beginning with Quentin's reaction/reply to Tracy:
For a moment he doesn't hear her.
|
And that's when yesterday's quote -
Page 45/Scene 104 - Quentin: 'What?...oh...I took a ride over to the Mill this morning and that stupid horse...threw me. It'll be OK. Don't worry.'
- comes up, followed by today's first quote -
Page 45/Scene 104 - Tracy: 'I asked you not to ride Ulysses.'
- coming up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 45/Scene 104 - Quentin: 'I wasn't. It was Dubloon.'
- coming up.
And there's still absolutely nothing to get into blah, blah, blah. And for this section of the scene DC's script notations indicate that before Quentin delivers yesterday's quote, the camera pans up to a close-up of him, which then changes to a medium shot when Tracy brings up Ulysses, and then after Quentin says it wasn't (Ulysses), he turns to Tracy before he says it was Dubloon (and as we will recall, Dubloon was Charles' horse - boom Boom BOOOOM!). But again, we can't necessarily expect that's actually the way things play because the camera shots in the film don't always follow DC's notes.
As far as "yesterday's quote" goes, it was indeed yesterday's, January 3rd's, this time around. And so far as "today's quote" goes, it's today's, January 4th's, this time around.
