Here's Scene 52 as scripted:
52 EXT - STABLES - DAY 52
The two dogs are playing in the stable yard as Quentin ENTERS under the archway. Suddenly the dogs become hostile. Quentin stops, frowns, then keeps walking. The dogs wait for a moment and then start slowly for him. They are snarling viciously as Gerard appears in the doorway.

And that's when yesterday's quote -
Page 18/Scene 52 - Gerard: 'Inside, boys! Inside!'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
The dogs hesitate for a moment but then turn and run inside. Quentin crosses to the door.
|
And that's when today's quote -
Page 18/Scene 52 - Quentin: 'I'd keep them chained if I were you.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
Gerard does not agree or disagree but just starts inside.
You're Gerard Stiles.
52 CONTD CONTD 52
GERARD That's right.
Quentin starts into the stable.
QUENTIN I'm Mr. Collins.

End of scene. However, as I said yesterday, everything is so different in the film - and it's probably easiest to deal with the differences with the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions all at once.
So, unlike how the script says that we see the dogs playing and when Quentin arrives, they become vicious and slowly make a move toward Quentin before Gerard stops them, as can be seen in the following capture, in the film Scene 52 starts off with shots of Gerard repairing brickwork -
- and as Gerard does this, off camera we hear Quentin call out "Stiles" and then introduce himself with "I'm Mr. Collins - and it isn't until the next camera shot that we see that Gerard is up on some scaffolding repairing brickwork near the roof of a part of the stable building, the dogs are quietly standing near the base of the ladder, and Quentin has just entered the stable yard, as can all be seen in the next capture -
- and after that point Gerard actually replies with "Yeah. Yeah, I know. I, uh...", and then with a nod of his head toward the stable itself, Gerard adds "I got your horse ready for ya" before he moves to the ladder, he begins to climb down, and Quentin walks over to the bottom of the ladder as the dogs simply look over at him as he approaches, turn their attention to Gerard coming down the ladder and reaching the bottom by jumping down the last few steps, and then growl just the slightest bit as Gerard turns to Quentin and then turns to lead Quentin to the stable. And that's it - nothing really happening with the dogs at all. And there's probably a really good reason for that, as well as why Gerard is actually seen doing brickwork rather than simply appearing at the doorway to the stable. But I'm going to hold off getting into all that until after we reach Scenes 105 & 106 in the script...
And there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written up to this point.
