Somehow that sounds like it could be good and awful at the same time!!

... There's also a color version as part of the NoDS Lobby Cards set ...
And here that is from back when I posted it in Reply #77:...

Although, I have to say that I honestly prefer the still version:

As you may recall, I posted publicity stills for Scene 99 back in August in Reply #53:...
(Click here for a 1088X838 version)
- and like the Charles still, there's an alternate (and rare) version -
- but unlike anything I've shared so far, there's also an alternate (and rarer still) color version -

Although, in the time since I first made that post, I discovered I had a better version of the color still (the one I'd originally shared ended at Gerard's chin but the better one goes down further), so I replaced the original version with its better version. However, depending on how long it's been since you've cleared your browser's cache, you may need to do so the see the newer version.
Cyrus sits at the desk in his lab. He's just taken another shipment of the compound from Gladstone--bring another tomorrow, requests Cyrus. Another? asks Gladstone--so soon? Can you do it? asks Cyrus. Of course, says Gladstone--your experiment must be moving along very nicely, especially considering the quantity of the compound you're using. Cyrus doesn't answer at first, then says only, the experiment is continuing. Successfully? asks Gladstone eagerly. The delivery can be accepted tomorrow by Sabrina, says Cyrus, I won't be here. You still won't discuss this project, will you? asks Gladstone, sounding just a bit nuts. Apparently, that's the case, isn't it? says Cyrus.
Let's see. It appears to be: Animal excitement. Touches blood. Fingers (or possibly lingers) on as Angelique. Does that seem like it to you, MB?
I think "lingers" may very well be it. That's the word I couldn't figure out, so thanks again!

Continuing with the current sequence:
99 QUENTIN - CLOSE-UP - NORMAL COLOR 99
as he finally realizes what he's doing and lets go.
99 CONTD CONTD 99
And that's when today's quote -Page 42/Scene 99 - Quentin: 'Tracy! Tracy!'
- comes up.
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, Quentin simply says "Tracy" quietly as the shock of what he's been doing to her hits him.
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, for the first and probably only time posting about this sequence, nothing is different.
Wrapping up Scene 99, first by picking up after Quentin realizes what he was doing to Tracy:
Tracy is in shock as Carlotta ENTERS THE SHOT.
And that's when today's quote -Page 42/Scene 99 - Carlotta: 'Mr. Collins! What happened?'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
Then she sees Gerard - the blood from the claw
marks on his face. She rushes to help him as
Quentin shakes his head wordlessly, unable to
explain.
End of scene.
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, we don't actually see Tracy in shock after Quentin realizes he was strangling her because the scene immediately shifts to Carlotta arriving and almost immediately kneeling to examine her nephew, which means that she doesn't speak to Quentin before seeing Gerard - and what Carlotta actually says is "Mr. Collins!", first with shock, and then "Mr. Collins!" with a great deal of incredulity - and so, considering that Carlotta is already at Gerard's side, she doesn't rush to help him when scripted - and nor does Quentin shake his head wordlessly, unable to explain because what Quentin actually does, as can be seen in the following capture -
- is wordlessly cling to Tracy in shock.
And Grayson has some notations in her script for this section. And as you can read below, they start off with "Animal excitement", which perhaps harkens back to Carlotta and Gerard's murdering of the hippy, which was never shot, but perhaps Grayson didn't know that at the time she wrote that notation in her script. And then she writes "Touches blood", which Carlotta doesn't actually do in the take used in the film, but she does do in this publicity shot for the scene (and I've always thought that it's interesting that Carlotta is pointing in the photo used for the lobby card for this scene but she doesn't actually do that in the film either - but then, some of the lobby cards for NoDS are quite different from what happens in the film - one isn't even shot is the same room that the actual scene takes place, but I digress...). And finally she writes something in reference to Angelique. But once again for the life of me I can't decipher the whole thing -
- so perhaps someone else (and you know who you are ) can...
Sometimes I wonder if the people who did the subtitles and/or closed captioning for NoDS ever actually watched the film? Case in point, when Tracy tries desperately to stop Quentin from attacking Gerard. She screams, "Quentin!...stop it! Stop it! You'll kill him!", and mind you, the closed captioning does get all of that correct, and the subtitles get the first part correct, however, this is what the subtitles comes up with for the latter half:
Who knows?!
