... beginning with yesterday's quote, Alex' reply to Claire -Page 81/Scene 174 - Alex: 'I've got to break through to him. If I can only get him to admit that it has to be at least more than a coincidence...we've got a shot.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
TRUCK IN to the portrait.
174 CONTD CONTD 174
And that's when today's quote -Page 82/Scene 174 - Claire (O.S.): 'Well, it'll have to wait until morning.'
- comes up.
End of scene.
And as far as the dialogue goes, Alex actually says "Honey, I gotta break through to him some way. If I can just get him to admit that it's at least more than a coincidence, we got a shot" - however, the first part of Alex' actual dialogue ("Honey, I gotta break through to him some way.") is delivered off screen as the camera continues to truck in -
- on Charles Collins' portrait and then holds on it - and as can be seen in today's capture -
- Claire doesn't actually deliver her line off screen.
And when it comes to the descriptions and the directions, the camera doesn't truck in on the portrait after Alex' lines because, as we've already discussed, it did so before yesterday's quote and into the first part of it - and the scene actually ends with -
- Alex taking a sip of his drink as things soon begin to dissolve into upcoming Scene 175...
Angelique sits by the fire in spell-casting mode. Roxanne Drew, she intones, you wanted to be Mrs. Barnabas Collins--I could see it in your eyes--but he is MINE--and he shall remain mine. She holds up a clay doll. Oh, my dear Roxanne, you must pay for loving him--she sets two pins in motion toward the doll's throat.
Continuing with more of Scene 174 with regard to Claire's actions:
She looks at the portrait.
And that's when today's quote -Page 81/Scene 174 - Claire: 'I still don't see how showing Quentin that is going to make him leave here.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, Claire actually says "I still don't see how showing him that is gonna make him leave here" - and as can be seen in today's capture -
- Claire actually delivers the line off screen.
And when it comes to the descriptions and the directions, there's nothing that's different.
The kids return to the playroom, Hallie's arm in a sling. How's the arm? asks David. It hurts, she says--David, you promised to tell me why we had to come here again! Remember when I told you there were some things we had to find out?--there's a way we can--we're going to hold a seance, just the two of us, here in this room. He begins clearing off toys from a table. Hallie objects--I don't know anything about seances. You don't have to, he assures her, I know all about seances--I've seen the grownups do it a lot of times (!!!!!) I'm scared, she says. There's nothing to worry about as long as you do exactly as I tell you to, he says. Why can't we do it somewhere else? she asks. Everything started to happen once we first came to this room, David reminds her, so this is the logical place to hold it. He drags over some chairs, lights a red candle in the middle of the table and turns off the electric lights--sit down, he says. She does, reluctantly. Put your hands on the table, he says, let them touch mine--the most important thing is, don't break contact--do you understand? She nods. David looks upward and says, "We seek the spirits that know about this room, the spirits who will tell us what we must know--there are questions that have to be answered--why are you so disturbed?--what do you want from us?--can't you please give us a sign?" They hear wind, and the sci fi noise, terrifying Hallie. "Let us live! Let us live!" cries a voice that sounds much like David's, over and over. "LET US LIVE!" Both kids look horrified.
Maybe Claire, knowing her husband's appetite, had prepared sandwiches in advance and kept them in the refrigerator. In a Tupperware container, of course.

It's amazing how different the color of Claire's outfit looks on the Blu-ray versus the VHS. Or maybe not so amazing given how so many things are colored differently on the VHS version of the film...
