Revisiting how Scene 133 and the start of Scene 134 are scripted:
As you've probably already discerned from today's graphic, we're getting into more material that doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands (or in the 97 minute version). However, the scenes we'll be dealing with today are not on Darren Gross' list of scenes that weren't recovered, so chances are they do appear in the 129 minute version:
133 EXT - BACK OF COLLINWOOD - DAY 133
SHOT favors Quentin, who stands moodily looking out of gallery windows. RACK FOCUS to Tracy, who ENTERS THE SHOT F.G. She is carrying the groceries. She waves at Quentin, who suddenly notices her and as he waves back, she crosses toward the veranda.
134 INT - GALLERY - DAY - HIGH ANGLE 134
Quentin is back at his easel as Tracy ENTERS the room.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 66/Scene 134 - Tracy: 'I'm a genius with butchers. Of course, he thinks me quite mad...and very rich. The steaks are a masterpiece.'
- comes up.
And as far as the differences in the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions go, because Scenes 133 and 134 aren't currently in the film, we have no way of knowing what might be different.
And there aren't any notes in DC's script for either of these scenes. (In fact, he won't have any notes until we reach Scene 139).
And you might have realized that I'm using the same still for Scene 134 as I did for Scene 116. Obviously the still can't be from both scenes, but I suspect it's actually from neither but is simply a candid shot of David Selby and Kate Jackson, even though the caption for it when in was published in 16 Magazine says otherwise. But no matter, the real reason I've chosen it is that both actors are wearing the same clothes that they wear in Scenes 116 and 134 (how we can know this will become obvious once we get to Scene 135, which is in all versions of the film), so the still can be used as a substitute in each scene until hopefully one day we actually get the restored 129 minute version of the film.
And as far as "today's" quote and graphic go, they were April 5th's this time around.
And this is the graphic that's referenced:
We'll revisit the caption 16 Spec Magazine used for the still in a future post...
