Wrapping up Scene 70 and moving beyond it, beginning with today's quote -
Page 29/Scene 70 - Tracy (O.S.): (joyfully laughing) 'Oh! I can't stand it! What a way to live!'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
DISSOLVE TO:
71 EXT - FIELD - DAY 71
It's another day and Quentin and Tracy ride their horses joyously through the beautiful countryside.
DISSOLVE TO:
71A EXT - RAILROAD FOOTBRIDGE - DAY 71A
as they stroll hand-in-hand with the river in the B.G.
72 EXT - FRONT OF COLLINWOOD - NIGHT 72
It is very late. The house is in darkness. Slowly the light in the Tower Room begins to shine.

End of scene.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, again, you know the story already, so no need to repeat it again - though apparently Scenes 71, 71A and 72 do appear in the 129 minute version. And while there are no notations in DC's script for those scene, it could be the case that a line of dialogue that was scripted for Scene 135 was moved to Scene 71A - but I'll hold off on why that may be once we reach Scene 135 in the script...
And I've often wondered what the significance of Scene 72 is meant to be - though one could certainly presume that it's there to signify that even though Quentin and Tracy are spending a great deal of quality time together by day, Quentin is still unknowingly being drawn to the Tower Room by night. Though at this point it's still a mystery as to what may actually be going on in the Tower Room when Quentin is drawn there...
