Revisiting how the rst of Scene 188 is scripted:

Before we get to today's new scene, we need to wrap up Scene 188, starting with the end as scripted:



188    CONTD                                      CONTD   188

       Suddenly, Alex ENTERS THE SHOT, diving into the pool.
       HOLD as we see him swim to the bottom and grab the
       inert Tracy.  He brings her to the surface as Claire
       helps him pull her out of the pool.  Again and again,
       he pumps at her back as Claire stands watching.  And
       then finally, with one huge gasp, Tracy begins to
       breathe.


End of scene - though that's not quite how things play in the film - for example, Alex doesn't dive into the pool so much as -


- jump, and he doesn't retrieve Tracy from the bottom of the pool because he actually grabs -


- her partially floating body - and once he's brought Tracy to the edge of the pool, several bits of unscripted dialogue come up, beginning with Alex telling Claire -


"Get her, baby."

- and while he's pumping Tracy back, barely audibly he says -


"Come on, honey."

- and then Claire, who's not simply standing and watching but kneeling right beside Tracy, crys -


"Tracy."

- and after water finally spills out of Tracy mouth without a huge gasp or otherwise, Claire leans down to embrace Tracy and once again she crys -


"Oh, Tracy."

- and she begins to sob. And that's how the scene actually ends.

Revisiting the subtitles and the closed captioning for Scene 187:

Scene 186 (the road near the pool house as the headlights of the Jenkins' car come toward camera) isn't in the film, but it's really just an establishing shot that isn't needed because Scene 187 is the Jenkins in the car as shot through the windshield. And when it comes to Scene 187 it begins with unscripted dialogue as Claire asks in both the closed captioning -


- and the subtitles -


- which also jump ahead with the first part of Alex' unscripted line that finishes off in the subtitles as -


- and appears in the closed captioning as -
