Continuing with Scene 174 with Alex' scripted actions:
He raises the drink and then finishes unwrapping the package, revealing a portrait of Charles Collins. Now the incredible likeness to Quentin is very obvious.

And that's when today's first quote -
Page 81/Scene 174 - Claire: 'I don't like being back here --'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -
Page 81/Scene 174 - Alex: 'I know...'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, Alex actually says "Yeah, I know..." - but in addition to that, DC's script has more dialogue written into it -
Page 81/Scene 174 - 'I still can't get over it. If Quentin had that scar on his cheek, they could be twins.'
- and though it isn't specifically assigned to either character, in the film it's slightly reworked and presented as:
Claire: 'I still can't get over the likeness. Charles Collins could
be his twin.' Alex: 'All that Quentin needs is that scar on his cheek...and you
wouldn't be able to tell the difference.' And when it comes to the descriptions and the directions, we don't actually see Alex raise his drink because, as was mentioned before, he's off screen when he refers to it - and we also don't see him finish unwrapping the portrait because as can be seen it both of today's captures -
- is already fully unwrapped and leaning up against the couch - and considering that the portrait's back is to the camera, we have yet to see that it's a portrait of Charles Collins or the incredible likeness to Quentin - and when it comes to the additional dialogue, the camera does a slow truck in on Claire as she delivers her portion and also a slow truck in on the portrait as we first get to see it as Alex delivers his portion, ending this close -
- as Alex finishes his additional lines.
