Congrats, Uncle Roger. I'm sure your appearance will be a memorable one.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
Let's face it, Roger accuses, you're ready to put the wrongs of the world at Laura's feet--you have it in for her because you want David. And you want to get rid of him, says Liz. We've argued about this a hundred times, says Roger, and I'm not in the mood to talk about it tonight. I have no intention of arguing, says Liz, but I don't like the effect Laura is having on this house, and after tonight, I'm more determined that ever that she must leave. She's already said she would leave, he says. But she hasn't done anything about it, says Liz. She hasn't had time, points out Roger. I've tried to be patient with her, says Liz, but my patience is at an end, either she decides to go soon, or I'll have to decide for her.
unlike what the script itself indicates and how DC's notes indicate that after Carlotta asks her question and before Quentin responds, the camera switches to a 2 shot of Carlotta and Quentin in profile, the shot actually continues to slowly truck in closer and closer on Carlotta
And I have to say I love the slow truck:
I think it's much more effective than a 2 shot could have ever been because the focus should be 100% on Carlotta as she delivers key info to the plot...
After today's quote from Scene 117 -Page 57/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'No...you saw Sarah Castle. She lived in this house over one hundred and fifty years ago.'
- comes up, it's followed in the script by:
QUENTIN
But that's impossible!
CARLOTTA
You've heard of reincarnation,
haven't you?
117 CONTD (2) (2) CONTD 117
QUENTIN
Of course I have. But that doesn't
mean I believe it.
And as far as differences in the dialogue go, what Carlotta actually says in the film at the start of today's quote is "That little girl was Sarah Castle", with the rest being delivered exactly as scripted - but Quentin's "But that's impossible!" is dropped in the film and it's also crossed out in both DC's and Grayson's scripts - and while Carlotta's question about reincarnation isn't crossed out in either script, it is dropped in the film -and Quentin's scripted reply to that question is also crossed out, and what's interesting is that in Grayson's script it's replaced with a simple "Yes" and in DC's script it's replaced with "What about it?", but no doubt because Carlotta's question was dropped, so was Quentin's various replies. And those aren't the only lines from this scene that were dropped in the film. But more on that when tomorrow's quotes come up...
And as far as differences in the directions and the descriptions go, once again there aren't any of either in the script for this section so obviously there can't be any differences in them in the film. However, when it comes to Grayson's script, she has a notation that reads "Just hear me out" next to her question about reincarnation. And in DC's script he has a notation that after Carlotta mentions Sarah, the camera moves in to a close up of Quentin, but as can be seen in today's capture -
- the camera actually remains on a close-up of Carlotta for her entire lines. And when it comes to the dropped portions dealt with in this post, DC has notations that once Quentin's close-up had been reached as Carlotta reveals how Sarah lived at Collinwood over 150 years ago, the camera switches to a close-up of Carlotta when she asks him about reincarnation, but obviously we don't see any of that.

what did you want to see me about? I was just wondering how well you're getting along with David, he says, we had a talk about you yesterday, you know. I think he's trusting me a little more, says Vicki, as Roger leads her into the drawing room and seats her in a chair--he'd even be willing to introduce me to his friends. Friends? asks Roger--I didn't know he had any friends. Ghosts, says Vicki--he took me to the Old House last night to have me meet them--that's a scary place. Yes, and a good place to stay away from, says Roger--did you meet any ghosts? No, but I dreamt about them all night long, she says--I must have awakened 20 times thinking there was something in my room. What you need is a change, an excursion away from all our gloom, he says. David's lessons start at nine, she tells him. You've never seen our cannery, have you? he asks. I haven't had time, she says. Today I'm going to conduct you myself on a personal tour, he says. What about David? she asks. Let's be extravagant and give him the day off, says Roger.
And Scene 117 begins Carlotta's explanation about the little girl Quentin saw as today's quote -Page 57/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'Well, it wasn't your imagination, Mr. Collins.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
QUENTIN
But you implied it was.
And as far as differences in the dialogue go, Carlotta actually drops the "Mr. Collins" in the film and it's also crossed out in Grayson's script - and Quentin's line is completely dropped in the film and is crossed out in both Grayson's and DC's scripts.
And as far as differences in the directions and the descriptions go, there aren't any of either in the script for this section so obviously there can't be any differences in them in the film. However, next to today's quote in Grayson's script she has a notation that reads "Spell it out carefully, clearly, as to a child".
Do you think if this terrible act of arson actually did occur at Collinwood, would the Collinsport Police Department have bungled this criminal investigation as they did with just about every other criminal investigation they ever undertook?
In Scene 117, when it comes to Carlotta's explanation, she begins by asking Quentin, "Do you remember that little girl you thought you saw at the window the other day?" - and the closed captioning has exactly that - but the subtitles has -
- dropping the opening "Do." Now, yes, one can still put a question mark at the end of the sentence and say "You remember that little girl you thought you saw at the window the other day?" as a question. But starting off the sentence with "Do" definitely makes it a question. So to drop that particular word is definitely the oddest word to drop. And only the person who did the subtitles knows why they made that questionable choice...
