Continuing with Scene 190, again, parts of which are very different from how it was scripted:
After Alex barges his way in and his first call to Quentin cuts off Carlotta's previous line, I've said this before but it can never be said enough how much I love how Carlotta goes scampering after him, trying to stop him -
- (and it's interesting how after that the action switches from the foyer to the corridor but it's still considered Scene 190) as Alex makes his second scripted call to Quentin - and rather than what's scripted, Carlotta actually says, "No. Mr., Mr. Jenkins, please." - and that's mostly though not perfectly reflected in both the closed captioning -
- and the subtitles, though they jump ahead to Alex making an unscripted third call to Quentin
- which is also reflected in the closed captioning -
- and after Gerard angrily grabs Alex to stop him, Quentin appears on the stairs and delivers his scripted "Leave him alone," and as Alex pushes Gerard away, rather than deliver what's scripted Carlotta's next line is reflected in both the subtitles -
- and the closed captioning -
To be continued...
...
As Alex nears the stairs he begins calling out.
ALEX
Quentin! Quentin!
CARLOTTA
(shouting at him)
Mr. Jenkins! You must stop
that!
As Alex is about to start up the stairs, Gerard
suddenly appears from below and grabs him. The two
men begin to grapple as Gerard jams Alex against the
wall. It is then that Quentin appears at the top of
the stairs.
And that's when today's quote -Page 88/Scene 190 - Quentin: 'Leave him alone!'
- comes up.
...
Continuing with Scene 190 as scripted, beginning with Gerard's response to Quentin's order with regard to Alex:
Gerard lets him go.
And that's when today's quote -Page 88/Scene 190 - Carlotta: 'He forced his way in here. We told him you were sleeping.'
- comes up in the script.
