Two scenes that come up in DC's script before the scene that features tomorrow's quote:
And now Scene 67A (the piano scene, which we'll be featuring up though the 21st):
Quentin stands outside the rectory, thinking to himself, "That's where Barnabas is--where he waits for me--can I betray him? A wolf howls. What if I don't? Petofi...I'll leave Collinwood, he'll never find me, all will be different, and Barnabas safe. And I, what will I, Quentin, be? He hears a rustling in the woods and looks away.[/spoiler]
Quentin looks up and sees a hideous wolf's head staring back at him. It disappears, but--I know I must do it, I must! He goes on.
I guess I made the mistake of thinking of you as the young girl I knew when I went away, says Bramwell--a great deal must have happened to you, tell me about yourself--I don't think I even know you. Do you really want to know? she asks eagerly. Yes, very much, he says. I don't think anything terribly interesting happened, she says--I just grew up, that's all--it's really funny, I always thought it would be different, but it's not different at all. You mean being an adult? he asks. Yes, she says. Why should it be different? he asks. I don't know, she says, I thought it would bring some freedoms that I didn't have as a child--I guess if I were a man, it would have, I don't know--but as a woman, well, I'm still living in Collinsport, as restrained as always, yet wanting so much to go beyond it. It's no better out there, I've been there, he says, but if you're so sure of it, go--you must have a sweetheart--marry him and go together. You make it sound simple, says Daphne, but I don't have a sweetheart, so that's out. I find that difficult to believe, remarks Bramwell. It shouldn't be, says Daphne--the young men want to leave Collinsport, too, and so they do, they go off and find jobs or go to school, some of them come back--but with wives--I did go out for a while with Gerard Stiles. Who? asks Bramwell. Don't you remember him? she asks. I guess not, says Bramwell.[/spoiler]
And setting up the next two scenes:
Remember Lorna Bell? Asks Trask--remember the mark on her forehead?--t was the mark of the devil, remember it? Gerard appears to have a dizzy spell. Trask shows him a paper with the symbol from Quentin's ring--think carefully, says Trask, have you ever seen that mark before. Yes, says Gerard, it's on Quentin's ring. Exactly! says Trask, he has the arrogance still to wear it--it must have been a gift from the devil himself. I'm afraid you're wrong, says Gerard--I gave him that ring. You? asks Trask. Yes, says Gerard, we were in a little village in Brazil, up the river, and one of the crew members got suddenly ill--Quentin had heard of a witch doctor who could perform miracles, or so Quentin said. You let him take a Christian soul to a pagan? Asks Trask. Gerard explains it wasn't his decision--but when the witch doctor was doing his incantations, Quentin mentioned the ring he was wearing--when the ceremony was over, I could see plainly Quentin wanted that ring very much, but was afraid to ask for it--so I bought it for him.[/spoiler]
