Happy 50th Anniversary, Night of Dark Shadows

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Revisiting how the beginning of Scene 185 is scripted:

Beginning the next scene as scripted (using Grayson's script):

LAURA 185    SAMANTHA - QUENTIN'S P.O.V.                        185        SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY CUT                                   Laura        It is no longer Tracy but Samantha who stands there,        as he begins to re-enact the moment of her death.        INTERCUT these MEMORY SHOTS throughout the rest of        the scene.        QUENTIN - TRACY        As Quentin slowly moves toward her, Tracy begins to        back away.

And that's when yesterday's quote -

Page 86/Scene 185 - Quentin: 'Isn't it enough that you killed her?...Won't you ever leave us alone?...ever?'

- comes up.

And when it comes to differences in the dialogue, after Quentin asks the first part of his quote ("Isn't it enough that you killed her?"), in more unscripted dialogue, Tracy asks -

"What are you talking about?...What's wrong with you?..."

- after which Quentin asks the second part of his quote ("Won't you ever leave us alone?...ever?") - and then in more unscripted dialogue, a somewhat anxious and confused Tracy says -

"Quentin, it's me."

And when it comes to the differences in the descriptions and directions, Quentin doesn't actually see Laura until after Tracy asks what's wrong with him -

- and before she makes a gesture of nodding her head no and tries to tell him that it's her.

   And as far as "yesterday's quote" goes, it was from May 20th this time around.
