Scene 221 does indeed begin with Quentin and Tracy descending into the basement and coming toward camera. But before we actually see them, we see their shadows -
- on the wall - and both Tracy and Quentin stop and look around, but there's no hint that Quentin stops because he senses something - in fact, the dialogue in Scene 221 is completely different from what's scripted because after they look around a few seconds, Tracy actually remarks -
"Oh, it's cold down here." - to which Quentin replies -
"Yeah. We've got to be 50 feet below the house." - to which Tracy then nods in agreement - and after they move on and begin to make their way -
- under some boards, they looks around a bit more -
- until Quentin nods to his left and says -
"I'm going to look in there." - and after Quentin moves off to his left, Tracy begins to proceed forward until -
- she comes to a room -
- (however, there's no need for her to open the door because it's already open) - and then in Scene 222, after we see Tracy completely -
- enter the room (and I love how she's shot from below), things switch to Quentin as he reaches the room he wants to look in and he -
- opens the door - and then after Tracy looks around her room and then delivers today's
"There's nothing in here." - quote, the flames of the candles are indeed blown -
- out, she drops the candelabra -
- and she mutters -
"Shi..." - as she soon sees the door -
- slam shut - however, unlike what's scripted, she doesn't scream. And more on her actual reaction when we deal with Scene 223...
And before I wrap up this post, I want to share a rarely seen still of Tracy from this sequence:
