As I mentioned back in reply #103, DC's script drops the last directions/descriptions line from Scene 66 (which as one will recall deals with Tracy and Quentin waking up), so we're going to pick up things in Grayson's script with that entire last paragraph:
She hugs him and starts getting dressed. TRUCK IN
ON his face. As he tries to remember what happened
last night, his eyes get that faraway look.
CUT TO:
67 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - 1800 - NIGHT 67
SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY CUT
A gray-haired man, CHARLES COLLINS, stands at the
window, his back to CAMERA. He is dressed in
period costume. If we see him walking, he limps.
Suddenly, the door flies open as GABRIEL, Charles'
brother storms in.
CHARLES
Have I no privacy, brother?
GABRIEL
It's for the last time, Charles.
Charles turns to him and we see his face. He has
a strong resemblance to Quentin, except for the
gray hair and a long scar on his cheek.
CHARLES
Would that it were. I'm sick
of your weak face.
GABRIEL
You've been with her, haven't
you? In that damn tower. You
still see her.
CHARLES
What's wrong with you, brother?
Don't you remember? Your wife
is dead.
GABRIEL
She still comes to you -- I
know it.
(then with deadly calm)
All right, if you want her so
much, you will have her...
67 CONTD CONTD 67
He starts toward CAMERA.
CUT TO:
68 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - 1971 - DAY - NORMAL COLOR 68
QUENTIN - CLOSE-UP
His face introspective, bewildered.
TRACY (O.S.)
Why are you just sitting there
staring at nothing?
WIDEN to include her.
QUENTIN
Oh...just remembering a dream, I
guess. A nightmare I never even
knew I had.
TRACY
Imagine not having to run to the
kitchen and make my own coffee.
Now get up.
She EXITS as CAMERA TRUCKS IN to his CLOSE-UP.
And as I alluded to back in reply #41, what's interesting about Grayson's script's version of Scene 67 is that in DC's script it's been reworked as Scene 101. And, of course, in the film as it currently stands, Scene 101 doesn't even appear where it's scripted because, when the cuts were mandated, Scene 101, along with several other scenes following it, were moved to be parts of Quentin's dream on his first night at Collinwood and its aftermath. But more on that once we reach that part of the script.
And, yes, for Scene 67 Grayson's script does say "1800" rather than "1810", but no doubt it's just a typo...
And how interesting is it that the original idea was for Charles to be gray-haired...
Catherine, he's trying to possess you! warns Bramwell. There is nothing anyone can do, she says. Yes there is, he insists--you can fight--you must fight! No, she says, there is only one way for us to have peace. You have the willpower! he says urgently. No, Brutus will never set us free, you know that! she says.[/spoiler]
