Ooh, Alex got the Carlotta death glare! But only for a brief moment. So he failed to turn to stone.
I suddenly want a TV show called "Cooking with Carlotta." "Resist adding more old bay seasoning at this point... IF you can."
There are two slightly different ways that Scene 88 is setup, depending on whose script one is reading. Grayson's sets things up thusly, beginning at the bottom of page 37:
CUT TO:
88 INT - DINING ROOM - NIGHT - GROUP SHOT 88
Seen from the corridor as the CAMERA TRUCKS TOWARD
THEM. They have finished dinner and are on their
coffee.
88 CONTD CONTD 88
Whereas in DC's script he has handwritten at the top of page 38:
INT. CORRIDOR NIGHT - TRUCKING
Camera truck toward dining
room - they have finished dinner
88CONTDCONTD88
And in both cases that's when today's quote -Page 38/Scene 88 - Alex (gesturing to Claire): 'Will you look at that dress? Gregory strikes again! He must think we're the manor folk -- honey, remember, we're broke.'
- comes up in the script.
And so far as anything being different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, as can be seen in this first capture -
- at first we simply see Claire, and this is where quite a bit of possibly improvised dialogue begins with Claire stating "I'm glad I'm not driving" - and as the camera pans to show Tracy and Alex, the next capture shows that as Tracy takes a sip of her wine -
- Alex makes his way toward Claire while he asks "All right, sweetheart, some wine?" - to which Claire responds "Just a touch", Alex repeats "Just a touch", and Tracy laughs as the camera, as can be seen in this next capture -
- has been moving in to reveal all four of them - and after Alex asks "Now who would have thought we would have been here two years ago?", Claire replies "I would have" as -
she raises her hand in the air and looks to the heavens and then toward Tracy with a smile - to which Alex replies "You would, huh?" - and then Quentin remarks "Makes life interesting" - and after that what Alex actually says as -
- he takes Claire's dress in hand, as can be seen in today's capture, is "Will you take a look at this thing? Gregory strikes again!" - and as Claire basically ignores him, I love how she simply reaches for her wine glass -
-which is apparently more important to her, as Alex continues with "He must think we're the manor folk -- honey, remember, we are broke" - and after he says that he bends down to kiss the top of Claire's head -
- and then he follows that off screen with "A little more wine for the gentleman", meaning Quentin - to which Quentin mouths "Thank you" and audibly replies "A little wine" - and then when Carlotta enters the room, Alex says "Well, hello, Carlotta - how are you?" - to which at first she barely registers a reaction other than -
- looking none too pleased with him - but then I love how she manages to -
- come up with a slight smile.
End of improvising, but the scene certainly goes on...
And the handwritten opening description in DC's script makes no mention of the group being on their coffee - though, of course, they're actually drinking wine in the film. But apparently DC didn't care what they were drinking, only that they'd finished dinner.
