We could get whiplash in this topic!

Here's the first of three stills I'm sharing that are associated with Scene 115:
(Click here for a 700X476 version)
This one was first shared on the back cover of the NoDS VHS' box, though this actual still shows much more...
Moving on to today's new scene:
CUT TO:
115 INT - GALLERY - DAY 115
Quentin is in the room when she ENTERS.
And that's when today's quote -Page 54/Scene 115 - Quentin: 'You didn't tell Alex about...my attacking you last night.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to differences in the dialogue, the changes are written into DC's script because he has notations that when Tracy enters the room she says "Hello" to Quentin - and today's quote is completely crossed out in the script and replaced with Quentin replying "Hi. I want to thank you for not telling Alex everything."
And when it comes to differences in the directions and descriptions, even though DC has a notation that Tracy doesn't cross to Quentin until after he thanks her, what actually happens in that Tracy silently enters the room, smiles, crosses to where Quentin is sitting, kneels beside him, and then says hello - and as can be seen in today's capture -
- Quentin takes Tracy's hand in his when he thanks her.
Collinwood, Julia's room - Barnabas tells Julia Woodard must die--and SHE must help him do it! When she steadfastly refuses to kill her friend (or former friend, as Barnabas so cruelly points out), the vampire promises Woodard an agonizing slow death
The following is a list of scenes that are still lost and which are not present in the 129 min version recovered in 1999.
...
INT.FOYER. Alex talks to Tracy, exits. EXT.COLLINWOOD. Tracy tells Alex she’ll look in tower. RACK FOCUS- CARLOTTA watches from stairwell window.
Barnabas approaches Quentin, who asks how long have you been standing there? We just came in a moment ago, says Barnabas, but we couldn't help overhearing--Quentin, who is Daphne? I'll tell you nothing, says Quentin. Is she the girl we saw talking with David a short time ago? Barnabas asks. David? repeats Quentin--David Collins?--David Collins is dead! We know that, says Barnabas, we all saw his ghost earlier in the playroom--you ran when you saw it. Quentin, voice trembling, asks Barnabas, why are you trying to confuse me? Julia steps forward---you must know who you saw, she says. I did not see David in the playroom--it was Tad that I saw! cries Quentin. Barnabas, she says, that was one of the two names on that birthday card.
Continuing with Scene 113, beginning with today's first quote: Alex' reply to Tracy asking how can some of the answers they're looking for be in the Tower Room -Page 53/Scene 113 - Alex: 'I don't know...think you could get in there?'
- coming up, followed by today's second quote -Page 53/Scene 113 - Tracy: 'He keeps it locked and I'd rather not try.'
- coming up.
And so far as any possible differences in the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions go, we'll probably never know because blah, blah, blah.
Wrapping up Scene 113 and moving beyond, first with Alex' scripted reaction to Tracy saying she'd rather not try to get into the Tower room:
He thinks for a moment longer.
And that's when the first part of today's quote -Page 53/Scene 113 - Alex: 'OK...forget it.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
He climbs onto his bike and gives her a kiss on the
cheek and as he is about to peddle away:
And that's when the second part of today's quote -Page 53/Scene 113 - Alex: 'Tracy, I want you to be careful.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
113 CONTD CONTD 113
She looks at him questioningly.
And that's when the third part of today's quote -Page 54/Scene 113 - Alex (Contd): 'Just be careful...keep an eye on him and if anything else happens, call me.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
114 He EXITS THE SHOT. CAMERA TRUCKS IN ON TRACY. Then
as she crosses out toward the house, RACK FOCUS TO
CARLOTTA at the stairwell window.
End of sequence.
And so far as any possible differences in the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions go, we'll probably never know because these scenes don't appear blah, blah, blah. And that's really too bad because I can just imagine the expression on Carlotta's face.
However, beginning with tomorrow's quote, the slideshow will be getting back into material that actually does appear in the film...
