If you don't have a copy of the NoDS script and you're wondering why it is that the scene of[spoiler]Charles and his horse about to trample Strak to death[/spoiler]is in the slideshow today, well, it's because it should be placed later in the film than it appears in the edited version that MGM demanded. The scene was never meant to be a part of Quentin's dream. It is supposed to take place after Quentin has been reading, he's drawn to the portrait of Angelique, and he runs from the house rather than give in to his "horrible temptation" to go to the tower room. However, while sitting outside, he has the memory of[spoiler]Charles killing Strak[/spoiler]- and that and not simply being drawn to Angelique's portrait is what prompts him to give in and to return to the tower room.
