Quite funny, Uncle Roger, Magnus and McTrooper!!

Moving on with Scene 87 ... in DC's script by:
QUENTIN - CLOSE-UP |----------------------------------- 87B
And that's when today's second quote -Scene 87B - Claire (O.S.): 'Poor Angelique Collins. He's going to start and she'll have no more secrets.'
- comes up.
So, as I said yesterday, who knows where DC really intended 87B to begin because his script has notations for it beginning in two different places.
But so far as Alex' dialogue goes, it answers the question of who the "young beautiful servant girl who roams the halls of Collinwood" is: she's apparently no one because the story is simply a legend. Unfortunately that means that Quentin won't be able to hire her after all.
And blah blah blah, no way to know if other changes, blah blah blah, doesn't appear in any version of the film...
Continuing with Scene 87, with Tracy asking in yesterday's quote -Page 37/Scene 87B - Tracy: 'Do we have to have a ghost, Alex?'
- coming up, followed by the script indicating:
BACK TO SCENE
And that's when today's quote -Page 37/Scene 87B - Quentin: 'Alex makes up his own legends, anyway. I'm not half as curious about Angelique Collins as I am about Charles. He is quite good, you know.'
- comes up.
And again, blah blah blah, no way to know if other changes, blah blah blah, doesn't appear in any version of the film. Though what will be interesting when it comes to tomorrow's installments in the slideshow, which are taken from DC's script, is that they're very different from how Grayson's script concludes Scene 87. But more on that tomorrow...
Before we get into the way Scene 87 concludes in DC's script, here's how it concludes in Grayson's script, picking up after Quentin's remark that Charles Collins "is quite good":
He looks at the portrait again.
ALEX
Is?
They all laugh.
End of scene.
However, picking up at the same point in DC's script we have:
takes from Alex
He looks at the portraitagain.
And following that, DC has handwritten in today's first quote -Page 37/Scene 87B - Alex: 'He is good?'
- followed by handwriting in today's second quote -Page 37/Scene 87B - Quentin: 'He was good.'
- followed by handwriting in today's third quote -Page 37/Scene 87B - Alex: 'He was good.'
End of scene.
And again, blah blah blah, no way to know if other changes, blah blah blah, doesn't appear in any version of the film. Though if anyone is wondering what portrait is referred to in Grayson's version, recall that back in the initial description of the scene it's explained that "Quentin stares at the portrait of Angelique on the wall." Who knows which portrait is being referred to when Quentin takes it from Alex in DC's version? And who knew Alex is even holding a portrait because that fact is never introduced in DC's version of the scene. And there's no indication of any laughing at the end in DC's version.
Roger, Carolyn and Liz troop downstairs. Roger is going to search the grounds, but won't let Liz--and don't phone Chris until after the kids are found, he says.
