Revisiting how the start of Scene 170 is scripted:
And as far as "Monday's" quotes go, they were indeed this past Monday's quotes, meaning they were April 29th's this time around.
...
170 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT 170
Tracy still lies huddled, her eyes wide, staring into
the CAMERA. In the B.G. OF THE SHOT, the door quietly
opens as Quentin ENTERS and stands silhouetted in the
rectangle of light. Tracy, now aware that he is
there, is afraid to move a muscle for fear of letting
him know she is awake. The tension mounts as Quentin
stands just staring at the bed for what seems an
eternity. Then very slowly he crosses to her side
of the bed and stares down at her. Finally, she
can stand it no longer and raises her eyes to his.
The tears stream down her face as he kneels down
and very gently touches her hair.
And that's when the first part of Monday's quote -Page 77/Scene 170 - Quentin: 'I know you went to the tower ...'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
She begins to sob softly.
And that's when the second part of Monday's quote -Page 77/Scene 170 - Quentin: 'It's all right, Trace...It's all right.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
He takes her in his arms.
And that's when the third part of Monday's quote -Page 77/Scene 170 - Quentin: 'Now, come on. Stop crying. It doesn't matter.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, rather than the first part of the quote, Quentin actually says "Now, it's all right", after which, rather than the second part of the quote, he actually says "I know you went to the tower room. It doesn't matter", and, rather than the third part of the quote, he actually says "Aw, don't cry. You're gonna flood the place" - and then he adds an unscripted "Come here."
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, ... Scene 170 also pretty much begins as scripted (though we don't see Quentin open the door - he's just suddenly standing in the doorway) until the point after Quentin gets in bed with Tracy and before he tells her not to cry because he doesn't take her in his arms because what he actually does is wipe the tears -
- from her face and her eyes, and then after he says the unscripted "Come here" is when -
- Quentin takes Tracy in his arms.
And as far as "Monday's" quotes go, they were indeed this past Monday's quotes, meaning they were April 29th's this time around.
