Kicking off the next sequence:
21 EXT - RIVER ROAD - DAY - HIGH WIDE ANGLE 21
as a convertible with the top down ENTERS THE SHOT. Driving the car is QUENTIN COLLINS and seated next to him is his pretty bride, TRACY. This is the same section of road where we first saw the Hippy. CAMERA STARTS A LONG SLOW ZOOM IN as the dialogue begins to play over the shot.
21 CONTD CONTD 21
QUENTIN (indicating the house) Look!
TRACY Wow! What a garret.
QUENTIN I keep telling you, no one can afford to paint unless he is an heir.
TRACY - QUENTIN - HOOD-MOUNT SHOT

And that's when yesterday's quote -
Page 6/Scene 21 - Tracy (snuggling up to him): 'It's incredible to think you were around for all those years and I didn't even know you.'
- comes up, followed by today's quote -
Page 6/Scene 21 - Quentin: 'You wouldn't have liked me poor. I was mean and surly.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
She laughs, shaking her head.
EXT - TREE-SHROUDED ROAD
as the car ENTERS THE SHOT and comes TOWARD CAMERA.
TRACY (clearly impressed) I still can't believe it's Collinwood.
QUENTIN Well, if I got the directions right, it is.
TRACY - QUENTIN - HOOD-MOUNT SHOT
Tracy gets to her feet, holding onto the windshield, and tries to look through the trees.
TRACY You know, you can't even see it now. How much land is there?
22 EXT - COLLINWOOD FRONT DRIVE - DAY - WIDE ANGLE 22
as the car APPROACHES CAMERA.
22 CONTD CONTD 22
QUENTIN Oh...only about 200 acres. There... look at it now.
As the car passes by CAMERA, we PAN WITH IT, revealing the impressive front view of the huge mansion.
TRACY Oh...Quentin!

End of scene.
And so far there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written. However, in DC's script he has added additional material to both hood-mount shots. The first says:
TRACY - QUENTIN - HOOD-MOUNT SHOT - PROFILE - 2 SHOT
And the second says:
TRACY - QUENTIN - HOOD-MOUNT SHOT - BACKSEAT
And so far as any differences in the dialogue go, there are many in the film. First off, the first lines of the film are actually taken from the end of Scene 21 and the beginning of Scene 22 and delivered off screen - as all we see is a high angled shot of the tree shrouded road that slowly begins to pan down to the road, Tracy asks "How much land is there" and Quentin responds "Oh, only about 200 acres" - and Quentin actually says "Hey, look up there" in Scene 21, but more on that below - and Tracy's dialogue about the garret and Quentin's about being an heir are dropped in the film, though Quentin's was featured in the Nods section of the Movies Slideshow because it's the first NoDS quote featured in the Fest's 1999 Movie Calendar, on which the Movies Slideshow is based - and what Tracy actually says is "You know, it's really incredible that you were around for all those years and I didn't even know you' - and what Quentin actually replies is "You wouldn't have liked me then. I was mean and surly", with no reference to him being poor - and after that Tracy delivers an unscripted "It's gonna rain" to cover the fact that it began to rain on the day that parts of this sequence were shot - and while Tracy actually says "I still can't believe it's really Collinwood", Quentin's line about getting the directions right is dropped - and Tracy's last line for Scene 21 is actually delivered simply as "You can't even see the house from here" with the rest, as already pointed out, delivered earlier - and as sort of a replacement for the moving of Quentin's reference to the estate being 200 acres, Quentin stops the car and delivers an unscripted "Here it comes. I'm gonna put the top up" when it actually does begin to rain - and Tracy's reaction "Oh...Quentin!" at first seeing the front of Collinwood is also dropped in the film.
And so far as the directions and descriptions go, as already indicated above, what we actually see at the start of the film is -
- a high angled shot of the tree shrouded road that slowly begins to pan down to the road - and from the outset we see Tracy and Quentin shot using a hood-mount shot - and in the film when Quentin points out something to Tracy, he's not actually indicating Collinwood in the distance but -
- a totally different building on the estate (and as an aside to that, there are some
publicity shots of Lara Parker as Angelique that are taken with the urn in the above capture) - and even though DC added the notation that the first hood-mounted shot would be a 2 shot in profile, as can bee seen in yesterday's capture -
- (and even today's) it was not shot in profile - and as can also be seen in that capture, Tracy doesn't so much snuggle up to Quentin as slightly caress his arm - and Tracy delivers her unscripted line about the approaching rain as well as her line about not really believing it's Collinwood as the car enters the shot and comes toward camera, but also, as can be seen in this entry from the original NoDS section of the Movies Slideshow -
NoDS: Scene #21 - Tracy: 'I still can't believe it's really
Collinwood. -as the car moves away from camera - and Tracy does not get to her feet, holding onto the windshield, as she tries to look through the trees to see Collinwood because, as can be seen in this capture -
- she simply leans up a bit.
