Beginning to revisit how Scene 85 is scripted:
We're going to handle things a bit differently for this next sequence because when it comes to the beginning of Scene 85, it's different in the film from the way it appears in both Grayson's and DC's scripts - especially DC's. And the fascinating thing is that DC's script contains a major rewrite, yet none of the rewritten part made it into the film. But to kick things off, ... the beginning of Scene 85 appear in Grayson's script:
DISSLOVE TO:
85 INT - TOWER ROOM - 1800 - DAY 85
SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY CUT
Transistion is made HOLDING on the portrait and
changing the color quality to that of the previous
segments. HOLD ON THIS as the first part of the
dialogue is played O.S.
85 CONTD CONTD 85
ANGELIQUE (O.S.)
You're never going to finish it.
CHARLES (O.S.)
Is that a prophecy?
RACK FOCUS to the B.G. where Angelique and Charles
are embracing.
ANGELIQUE
No - I just won't let you go.
They laugh and kiss again. There is a POUNDING
ON THE DOOR.
And so far as the differences in the dialogue go, ... everything is different in Scene 85.
...
And as for what the actual differences in the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions are when it comes to Scene 85, that will wait until an upcoming post... But yes, "Transistion" is misspelled that way - and in both Grayson's and DC's versions of the script...
