Wrapping up the current scene and dealing with the next. Let's pick things up in Scene 62 with yesterday's quote -
Page 25/Scene 62 - Quentin: 'Yes ... yes ... it's fine ... has it ever been used as a studio before?'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
And that's where today's quote -
Page 26/Scene 62 - Carlotta: 'Not in my time. If there's anything you want, I'll be downstairs.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
He puts his paints down, starts to set up his easel.
63 INT - TOWER STAIRS 63
as Carlotta descends TOWARD CAMERA, she is happy.

End of scene/sequence.
And as far as the differences in the dialogue go, first Quentin actually says "Oh, yes ... yes ... it's fine ...", and then, rather than asking, Quentin actually states "It's been used as a studio before, hasn't it", and no doubt that's because, given the frames and sculptures and all the other art paraphernalia all around the room, it seems pretty obvious the room
has been used as a studio before - and Carlotta actually responds with "Yes, I believe it has. ... Not in my time", with the whole "If there's anything you want, I'll be downstairs" dropped.
And when it comes to the differences in the descriptions and directions, as can be seen when comparing the 10th's and the 11th's captures -
- Quentin turns to face Carlotta when he tells her the room is fine - and, as he states that the room has been used as a studio before, Quentin moves toward the middle of the room and out of frame, as can be seen in today's capture -
- which only features Carlotta - and we don't see Quentin put his paints down or start to set up his easel (he actually put his stuff down near the doorway when he first entered the room) - and Scene 63 doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands or, sadly enough, even in the recovered 129 minute version.
And as for the notations in Grayson's script, with regard to Scene 62, even though in the film Carlotta actually says "Yes, I believe it has", there's a notation in Grayson script adding "Yes, I think so" in answer to the room having been used as a studio, but obviously it was changed when the time came to shoot the scene, and, for me anyway, "Yes, I believe it has" is far more preferable - and in reference to adding the line, there's a notation that Carlotta is trying to tell Quentin something - and there's also a notation that Carlotta believes Quentin has gotten a glimpse of the past - and when it comes to Scene 63, there's a notation that once again Carlotta has the vase of flowers (recall Grayson wanted Carlotta to be carrying the vase in the original version of Scene 60) - and with regard to Carlotta's happiness, there's a notation that Carlotta is feeling that she knew Quentin would come around and all is going according to plan.
And before we leave this section of the film, observant people might notice in a few of the captures that there might be something in the tower studio that plays a part in the daytime show's 1995 and Summer of 1970 storylines. I'm not sure if it's exactly the same prop (and I'm too lazy to check). But it looks an awful lot like it, and soon the forum's Watching Project will be getting to 1995, so soon enough we'll see if it's the same...
And when it comes to the next scene in the film as it currently stands, things jump all the way up to a slightly reworked version of Scene 84 - though that doesn't mean that all the scenes between Scene 62 and Scene 84 aren't in the currently available version of the film or the 129 minute version. But more on that as those scenes come up in the script...
