Revisiting how Scene 23 is scripted to play:
...
23 EXT - COLLINWOOD PORTICO 23
as the car ENTERS THE SHOT and pulls up in front
of the house. Quentin and Tracy both get out and
starts to unpack the back seat.
And that's when Friday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'What do you bet I turn into one of those women you see in House & Garden.'
- comes up, followed by Friday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin (still busily unpacking): 'I can see it now, Mrs. Quentin Collins in her fashionable jeans at her 18th-century rosewood desk making out the menus for the week.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
She starts laughing.
And that's when Saturday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin: 'Oh, there is a housekeeper, you know.'
- comes up, followed by Saturday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'Oh, great! I bet she looks just like Mrs. Danvers.
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
QUENTIN
I'm sure she does.
And that's when Sunday's first quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Tracy: 'Well, at least it solves one problem. She can probably do everything and I'll just simply lounge around arranging flowers.'
- comes up, followed by Sunday's second quote -Page 7/Scene 23 - Quentin: 'And loving me.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
23 CONTD CONTD 23
TRACY
And loving you.
Quentin starts for the rear of the car to open
the trunk.
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 a notation that the opening of Scene 23 where the car pulls up to the house will be shot from the interior of the car and through the window.
