Before we conclude Scene 124 as it appears in DC's script, here's how it concludes in Grayson's:
ANGELIQUE You'll remember all the time we've spent together...all the love we've shared. You'll remember me.
She kisses the child goodbye.
As Mrs. Castle takes the weeping Sarah toward her room, the others EXIT down the stairs.
|
End of scene - but this is how things play out in DC's script, beginning with the first part of today's quote -
Page 62/Scene 124 - Angelique: 'You'll remember all the time we spent together. All the love we've shared...'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
She suddenly takes off her locket.
|
And that's when the second part of today's quote -
Page 62/Scene 124 - Angelique: 'Here. You've always thought this so pretty.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
She slips it around the child's neck.
|
And that's when the third part of today's quote -
Page 62/Scene 124 - Angelique: 'As long as you wear this, you'll remember me.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
124 CONTD CONTD 124
She kisses the child goodbye.
As Mrs. Castle takes the weeping Sarah toward her room, the others EXIT down the stairs.

And as far as differences in the dialogue go, the first part of Angelique's quote is completely dropped in the film - and when it comes to the second part, she actually says "You always thought" rather than "You've always thought" - and when it comes to the third part, she actually says "As long as you wear this, you will remember me."
And as far as differences in the directions and the descriptions go, it isn't until after Angelique says "Here" that she pulls rather than takes off her locket - and as Angelique says "You always thought this so pretty" and for a bit beyond another clasp of thunder is heard - and rather than slip the locket around Sarah's neck, what actually happens, as can be seen in today's capture -
- is that in a close-up Angelique holds the locket up as she makes her pronouncement about it - however, as can be seen in the following capture -
- the "you will remember me" part of the pronouncement plays as a double exposure of Angelique's close-up and the start of Scene 126 as Angelique lowers the locket as Scene 124 slowly fades out and Scene 126 slowly fades in. And that probably begs the question: What happened to Scene 125? Well, it's not in any version of the film and there are questions as to whether or not it was even shot. But we'll deal with Scene 125 in a post later today...
And finally, as I mentioned in reply #367, we had yet to see Strack's henchman. Well, that's because, as can be seen in the following capture, he doesn't actually appear on screen until the camera angle changes and -
- he's seen standing on stairs higher than the ones Charles is on and behind Angelique and Sarah - and notice that unlike what the script indicates, he is not holding a blood-soaked kerchief to his face. (And get your minds out of the gutter because Sarah and Angelique are not looking at Angelique's ample bosom but down at the locket after Angelique says "Here" and before she pulls the locket off.)
