Wrapping up Scene 190 and moving on:
Quentin looks at Alex, then suddenly turns and starts up the stairs, three at a time.
QUENTIN (screaming) Tracy! Tracy!
Alex starts up after him.
190A INT - SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT - 190A REVERSE ANGLE
as Quentin comes charging TOWARD CAMERA and bounds up the stairs to the Master Bedroom.
191 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT 191
With an empty bed in the F.G., Quentin explodes into the room. TRUCK IN TO HIS CLOSE-UP as he looks. Quickly, he turns, runs down the stairs.
191A INT - SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT 191A
In the F.G. of the SHOT, Quentin stands, his back to CAMERA, staring at Alex, who stands at the far end of the corridor at the top of the stairs.
QUENTIN - TRUCKING SHOT
as he starts toward Alex, CAMERA TRUCKS BACKWARD in front of him, HOLDING HIM IN CLOSE-UP.
191A CONTD CONTD 191A
ALEX - QUENTIN
as Quentin stops directly in front of Alex and looks down at him.

And that's when today's first quote -
Page 91/Scene 191A - Quentin (quietly): 'You're right. She's gone. So she's left me. If that's the way she wants it, fine.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
Alex puts his hand on Quentin's elbow.
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 91/Scene 191A - Alex: 'Quentin, that's not...'
- comes up.
And when it comes to differences in the dialogue, what Quentin actually says to Alex is "You're right. She's gone. If that's the way she wants it, it's fine with me", with the "So she's left me" part dropped - and Alex nods his head no before he actually says "Quentin, that's not you...".
And when it comes to the differences in the descriptions and directions, with the close of Scene 190, after Carlotta says she's sure Tracy is in her room, Quentin doesn't actually look at Alex and then suddenly turn to start up the stairs because, rather, he immediately whirls around to -
- look up the stairs (and I love the expression on Carlotta's face as she studies him as he does so) - and then in close-up -
- that instantly zooms back to a long shot of the foursome -
- Quentin screams out the first scripted "Tracy!", which echoes - and it's only after that that Quentin runs up the stairs, though not three at a time, and screams out the second "Tracy!" - however, we do not see Alex start up after Quentin - and with Scene 191, there is no truck in to a close-up of Quentin because things simply remain with the empty bed in the foreground -
- and Quentin in the doorway before he turns to leave, upon which we do not see him run down the stairs from the bedroom - and with Scene 191A, rather than seeing Quentin's back to the camera as he stares at Alex standing at the far end of the corridor at the top of the stairs, at first we see a gratuitous shot of Quentin's butt -
- (though I'm sure there were many in the audience who enjoyed that
), which soon switches to a shot of Quentin's hand which he then -
- clenches before he begins to make his way to Alex, which is indeed shot as the camera trucks backward in front of him as it holds him in close-up, but the camera also switches to a hand-held shot of Alex as Quentin moves closer and closer -
- to him, until Quentin finally reaches him and we see the 2 shot of them as in today's captures - and as we can easily see from today's second capture, Alex is not seen to -
- put his hand on Quentin's elbow, nor does it appear that he even does so.
