she's wrong--she's remembering something in the past--but I'm a totally changed man now--you must remember that--and she cannot accept it! The thought didn't even occur to me until I was on my way back here, says Daphne. Furious, seemingly talking to himself, Bramwell wonders, how dare Catherine try to interfere with our lives--she chose how to live hers--now let her live it and let us alone! Oh, Bramwell, says Daphne, why is there so much emotion in your voice when you speak of her? There are many kinds of emotions, says Bramwell, and anger is one of them, and I've never been one to hide my anger--you will have to learn that. I have learned it, says Daphne, stepping back from the intensity of his emotions, and you still haven't said the words I want to hear. I love you--very much, he says (and gets a zero on the love meter for his lack of sincerity). No, says Daphne, I know you better than you think, and I know you didn't mean what you said. She gazes at him regretfully.
Setting up the next scene:
100 INT - CARD ROOM - NIGHT 100
It is about 3 a.m. Quentin sits staring at his
coffee. Tracy watches him nervously. He now knows
what those other dreams were about - Angelique -
however he still considers her part of a dream.
He does not remember what happened during the fight.
QUENTIN
There isn't any explanation.
None at all.
TRACY
(to him)
Darling, we don't need talk
about it anymore.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 42/Scene 100 - Quentin: 'I don't remember anything until I saw Gerard. I didn't recognize him. He shouldn't have been in the house.'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 42/Scene 100 - Tracy: 'He simply thought he saw a light.'
-coming up.
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, Quentin's "There isn't any explanation. None at all" is dropped in the film - what Tracy actually says to begin the scene is "Darling, we don't need to talk about it anymore" (and I find it odd that the script would specify "to him" because who else would Tracy be saying that to?) - but then Quentin actually says "The first thing I remember is Gerard but I didn't recognize him. What was he doing in the house, anyway?"
And whereas they're not a part of this slideshow, Quentin's and Tracy's first lines were a part of the original Movies Quotes Slideshow:
NoDS: Scene #100 - Quentin: 'There isn't any explanation.
None at all.'
NoDS: Scene #100 - Tracy: 'Darling, we don't need to talk
about it anymore.'
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, while Quentin is apparently staring at his coffee (the scene is shot so far away - from two rooms away and through three doorways - that it's hard to discern what he's looking down at), we do see/hear Tracy take a sip of her coffee and put the cup down on its saucer before she tells Quentin they don't have to continue to talk about what happened - and Tracy reaches over to touch Quentin's arm before she tells him that Gerard's explanation is that he simply thought he saw a light (yeah, right!).
Continuing Scene 100, or rather Scene 100B because DC's script has a notation that Scene 100B begins after Tracy tells Quentin that Gerard simply thought he saw a light. And the first thing to come up after that is today's first quote -Page 42/Scene 100B - Quentin: 'And what was I about to do to you?'
- followed in DC's script by:
He gets up. x to window
And that's when today's second quote -Page 42/Scene 100B - Tracy: 'You stopped when you realized what you were doing.'
- comes up.
And as for what's different with the dialogue, for a change, nothing is different because both Quentin's and Tracy's lines are delivered exactly as written.
But as for what's different with the descriptions and directions, no doubt DC considered this next part of the scene to be 100B because the camera switches from the long shot of yesterday's portion of the scene to a 2 shot, as can be seen -
- in today's first capture - and Quentin actually reaches out to hold Tracy's hand which, as we may recall from the previous post, is on his arm - and, unlike what the script says and DC's notation to it, Quentin doesn't actually get up and cross to the window after he delivers his line, and that can be easily seen in today's second capture -
- because he's obviously still sitting at the table with Tracy while she reassures him. And speaking of Tracy, there another notation in DC's script that indicates that the camera was supposed to stay on her as Quentin crosses out of frame and she delivers her line, but the above capture also shows that obviously things don't play that way either.
