And here's a third still to preview the upcoming moment in the slideshow from Scene 117 -
(Click here for a 700X476 version)
- a still that I believe is quite rare because to my knowledge it has never been published anywhere - and it shares something in common with the next still I'll be sharing, something that's more than the obvious that it's also to promote the same moment from Scene 117 - but more on that on the 28th...
In the cottage, Laura tells Dirk his presence has given her great strength (great something)!--but you must go now. I don't want to leave now, he protests--you need me, my protection. She assures him she'll be all right, but suddenly grows faint, weak, her strength ebbing away. Dirk holds her.
And when it comes to today's quote from Scene 117, Carlotta's response to Quentin's belief that it's important to her that he work in the tower room -Page 56/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'It isn't. It just seemed so ideal --'
- there is no difference in the film because it's delivered exactly as scripted.
And when it comes to any differences in the directions and the descriptions, there aren't any of either in the script for this section. However, one thing that is interesting with both today's and yesterday's captures is that obviously Carlotta has turned to look at Quentin. There's no indication of that in the script or in DC's notes, but there is in Grayson's script, at least when it comes to today's quote, because Grayson has a note that Carlotta would look at him. Her notes also reiterate that it must be clear that what Carlotta is saying is important (and in this case it must mean the part about how working in the tower seems ideal because saying that Quentin working in the tower isn't important to her is quite obviously a big fat lie! ). Though something that is in DC's script is a note saying that the camera would truck back in front of Quentin till it's in back of Carlotta for a 2 shot. And while we don't actually see that camera move, we do see the 2 shot from behind Carlotta. Well, if seeing a shot that includes Carlotta's lower arm and hand can be considered a 2 shot.
Continuing Scene 117, first with the first part of today's quote -Page 56/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'That's not the reason. (MORE)'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
117 CONTD CONTD 117
QUENTIN (Contd)
He crosses to her, looking down at her.
And that's when the second part of today's quote -Page 57/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'You know about these dreams, don't you?'
- comes up.
And when it comes to the differences in the dialogue, for the second part of today's quote, Quentin actually says "You know about the dreams I've been having, don't you?", and that change is made in DC's script, with "these" crossed out and replaced with "the" and "I've been having" added.
And when it comes to the differences in the directions and the descriptions, Quentin puts down his paint palette as he moves toward Carlotta - and as Quentin accuses her of knowing about his dreams, I love the look Carlotta gives him -
- and with the slight cock to her head.
And when it comes to DC's notes, he strangely indicates that Quentin rises before he tells Carlotta that her saying his working in the tower just seemed ideal is not the reason his working in the tower is important to her. Well, unless he means Quentin's voice and anger rise, which they do.
Here's a second still to preview the upcoming moment in the slideshow from Scene 117 -
(Click here for a 700X476 version)
- a cropped version of which was shared on page 77 of the DS Almanac 30th Anniversary Tribute. On the other hand, the next three stills I plan to share are all rare...
And when it comes to today's quote from Scene 117 -Page 56/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'All right, Carlotta. What's it all about? What's going on here? Why is my working in the tower so important to you?'
- the difference in the dialogue is that what Quentin actually asks is "All right, Carlotta. What's going on around here? Why is my working in the tower room so important to you?", with the "What's it all about" part being dropped and the "What's going on here?" slightly changed even though both lines are crossed out in both DC's and Grayson's scripts. And speaking of Grayson's script, she has underlined words in Quentin's last question: "Why is my working in the tower so important to you?"
And when it comes to any differences in the directions and the descriptions, there aren't any of either in the script for this section, but Quentin actually throws his paint brush at the easel (though it bounces off and falls to the floor) before he angrily asks his questions.
And when it comes to the notations in DC's script for this section, he indicates that Quentin would be shot in closeup, but again we can see -
- that's not the case.
And as an aside, it must have been an awfully cloudy/foggy day on the day they shot this scene! I mean, you can barely even see the horizon from the window!!
