Hmmm - I wonder which is 'Flash Weiner' -
- and which is 'Boy Powers'? We'll probably never know...

52 EXT - STABLES - DAY 52
The two dogs are playing in the stable yard as
Quentin ENTERS under the archway. Suddenly the
dogs become hostile. Quentin stops, frowns,
then keeps walking. The dogs wait for a moment
and then start slowly for him. They are snarling
viciously as Gerard appears in the doorway.
And that's when yesterday's quote -Page 18/Scene 52 - Gerard: 'Inside, boys! Inside!'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
The dogs hesitate for a moment but then turn
and run inside. Quentin crosses to the door.
And that's when today's quote -Page 18/Scene 52 - Quentin: 'I'd keep them chained if I were you.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
Gerard does not agree or disagree but just starts
inside.
You're Gerard Stiles.

GERARD
That's right.
Quentin starts into the stable.
QUENTIN
I'm Mr. Collins.
End of scene. However, ... everything is so different in the film ...
So, unlike how the script says that we see the dogs playing and when Quentin arrives, they become vicious and slowly make a move toward Quentin before Gerard stops them, as can be seen in the following capture, in the film Scene 52 starts off with shots of Gerard repairing brickwork -
- and as Gerard does this, off camera we hear Quentin ... introduces himself ... - and it isn't until the next camera shot that we see that Gerard is up on some scaffolding repairing brickwork near the roof of a part of the stable building, the dogs are quietly standing near the base of the ladder, and Quentin has just entered the stable yard, as can all be seen in the next capture -
- and after that point Gerard ... moves to the ladder, ... begins to climb down, and Quentin walks over to the bottom of the ladder as the dogs simply look over at him as he approaches, turn their attention to Gerard coming down the ladder and reaching the bottom by jumping down the last few steps, and then growl just the slightest bit as Gerard turns to Quentin and then turns to lead Quentin to the stable. And that's it - nothing really happening with the dogs at all. And there's probably a really good reason for that, as well as why Gerard is actually seen doing brickwork rather than simply appearing at the doorway to the stable. But I'm going to hold off getting into all that until after we reach Scenes 105 & 106 in the script...
And there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written up to this point.
Wow, what an amazing detail, MB! I literally LOL'd even before I got to your words below the photo! 😄😆
He opens the doors. Angelique is there; he's stunned that the room has been restored. What is it? she asks--nothing's changed... What do you mean? he demands. You look as if I've completely rearranged the furniture, she says. He describes what happened before--I saw Daniel and Amy, wearing clothes I'd never seen before, discussing Barnabas--then I heard them again, but this time saw them in the hall--and I wasn't hallucinating! My dear Quentin, she says, I was here all the time, you must admit the strain you've been under. I don't like to admit I'm the kind of man who strain could affect, says Quentin--at least not that much--so many strange things have been happening around here. Yes, I know, she says meaningfully.
Carlotta certainly has an ... interesting ... wardrobe for a housekeeper!
And I've always wondered how close she came to damaging the silver and/or the countertop ... 😁
