my Pansy is a wonderful girl, he says, beautiful, refined, cultured--she's English, and just disappeared, he says unhappily. He suggests they return to Collinwood. Tim says he'll join him in a moment. After Carl leaves, he picks up a scarf from the purple piece of furniture and suddenly hears Pansy' singing her song. He listens. The curtains blow in, and he's afraid. Pansy's ghost appears before him.Who are you? he asks, where did you come from? You aren't the one I'm looking for, says Pansy--I have so little time, I must find him. Barnabas? he asks.

DISSOLVE TO:
65 INT - BEDROOM - NIGHT 65
It is later. They are sound asleep. Through the
window the light in the tower starts to glow.
TRUCK IN ON Quentin. He finally opens his eyes,
quietly rises,and EXITS the room.Cut before he exits
66 INT - BEDROOM - MORNING 66
They are both in bed. Quentin is sound asleep.
She is wide awake. The alarm clock says 10:30.
Finally, she can't stand it anymore and quietly
starts to get out of bed.
QUENTIN (O.S.)
Hey! Where you going?
TRACY
I couldn't stay in bed any longer.
He stretches and yawns.
Why are yo so tired?.

66 CONTD CONTD 66
And that's when today's first quote -Page 27/Scene 66 - Quentin: 'I didn't sleep too well.'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 27/Scene 66 - Tracy: 'I've never slept like this before. Now get up.'
- coming up, followed by the script explaining:
She hugs him and starts getting dressed. TRUCK IN
ON his face. He tries to remember what happened last
night.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions beyond what has already been indicated above, DC's script also has a notation crossing out Tracy's "Why are you so tired?" and replacing it with "I thought you'd never wake", however, because Scene 66 doesn't appear in any version of the film, we have no way of knowing how things may have actually played. On the other hand, while Scene 65 doesn't appear in the film as it stands, it does appear in the 129 minute version...
And as a final note, the final descriptions and directions for Scene 66 are as they appear in DC's script - Grayson's script has an additional line because, as I alluded to before, Scene 67 is a completely different scene in Grayson's script than it is in DC's script and in the film, as is Scene 68 - but we'll get into all that after we've dealt with Scene 68 as it appears in DC's script...

64 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT 64
Tracy and Quentin are getting ready for bed.
And that's when today's quote -Page 26/Scene 64 - Quentin: 'I can't tell you how happy I am with that tower room. It's absolutely perfect.'
- comes up.
And as far as any differences in the dialogue, in the descriptions, or in the directions go, there's no way of knowing because Scene 64 doesn't appear in the film as it stands...
Wrapping up Scene 64 and picking up after Quentin's comments about how perfect the tower room is for his studio:
As they get into bed.
And that's when today's quote -Page 26/Scene 64 - Tracy: 'I know it. We're going to have a long happy life here.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
They embrace.
And as far as any differences in the dialogue, in the descriptions, or in the directions go, there's no way of knowing because Scene 64 doesn't appear in the film as it stands. And given that in DC's script he has what could actually be an X drawn through the scene (it's drawn strangely), it could even be that the scene was never shot. And if that is the case, I can sort of see why because back in Scene 62 Quentin has already made it clear that he loves the tower room, and back in Scene 40 Tracy has already said that she thinks they'll be happy at Collinwood, so Scene 64 could appear to be redundant. However, there are fans who've often remarked that they would have liked to have seen more happy moments between Quentin and Tracy before everything begins to fall apart. In fact, the DS Companion book references an upcoming scene in that regard (and at least that scene is in the 129 minute version of the film) - but more on that once we come to it...
All that being said, though - and potentially contrary to my notation at the bottom of the graphic for yesterday and today - I do have a publicity still that *might* be from Scene 64. To me, it's often looked more like Quentin is attacking Tracy (and I could never quite figure out where it could fit into the film because in the script there's no scene in their bedroom where he attacks her when they're dressed for bed) - but I do suppose that it could also be interpreted as a somewhat odd pose of the two of them in mid-embrace. Judge for yourself:
That still could definitely be interpreted either way. The expression on Selby's face is somewhat ambiguous and we really can't get an accurate read on Kate.
