I find it interesting that several places are selling this -
(Click here for a 700X708 version)
- as a still when quite clearly it's a cropped screen capture -
(Click here for a 1280X720 version)
- and because it's a bit blurry, perhaps a screen capture from the VHS.
It's also interesting that both Tracy and Quentin are looking off as if they've spotted something surprising, though nothing like that actually happens in the film. But who knows if they look that way because DC told them to with a possible intent of using the footage somewhere else in the film? And then he never followed up on it.
In the hospital, Liz tells Carolyn she's beginning to remember, she knows she is. Carolyn says please, don't even try, the doctor says she must rest. Liz says she must remember what happened, or she can't rest. Carolyn reminds her that just before she got sick, she was at Aunt Laura's cottage, and something must have happened to you there, but please try to sleep--she'll be right here. I was asleep, and dreaming, says Liz, Dreaming about Laura at the cottage. You called to us, encourages Carolyn, and said you remembered. I woke up, continues Liz, I called, yes, I remembered about the choir, I got up out of bed, there was a storm someone in my room, I couldn't see who it was. Seeing her mother is getting upset, Carolyn tells her to rest, just a little while, then she'll help her remember. Liz promises to rest, but first she must remember---please help? All right, if you promise to stay very calm, says Carolyn, who then says she, Roger and Vicki heard Liz calling, saying she'd remembered what had happened; but by the time they got to her room... Liz remembers--she got up--there was something in the corner, she could see it, it was so dark, a shadow, a shrouded fog, she couldn't see who or what it was, at first she thought it Vicki, Carolyn or Uncle Roger. It was Aunt Laura, wasn't it? asks Carolyn. Not the Laura they think they know, says Liz, she can't describe her face, it was distorted with hate, eyes blazing, Laura in some other form, almost some other being, horrible, you can't imagine what she looked like.
Moving on to the next scene, this is how it's scripted:
135 EXT - MEADOWS - DAY - LONG LENS 135
Holding hands, they stroll through the meadows.
She stops to pick a flower. He watches her.
And that's when today's quote is scripted -Page 67/Scene 135 - Quentin: 'Do you have any idea how much I need you?'
- to come up, followed in the script by:
She looks up into his face as he draws her to him.
End of scene as scripted.
And as far as any difference in the dialogue goes, Quentin actually says "Do you know how much I need you?", plus it's delivered under completely different circumstances.
Which brings us to the myriad of differences in the directions and descriptions. Scene 135 does indeed begin with Tracy and Quentin holding hands as they stroll through a meadow - but she doesn't stop to pick a flower, nor does he watch her while she does so or deliver today's quote or draw her to him after she looks up into his face. They simply stroll up to and underneath a cherry blossom tree, pushing branches of flowers -
- out of their way as they go - and then things switch to a completely different location - which brings us to revisit Scene 71A as scripted:
DISSOLVE TO:
71A EXT - RAILROAD FOOTBRIDGE - DAY 71A
as they stroll hand-in-hand with the river in the B.G.
Scene 71A does not take place in the film as it currently stands. It seems to have been moved to play along with and after Scene 135 comes up because, as can be seen in the following capture, after Scene 135 things switch to Quentin and Tracy under the railroad footbridge -
- with Tracy throwing a rock into the river, and then after she sits down, Quentin strokes her cheek, delivers today's quote from Scene 135 -
Page 67/Scene 135 - Quentin: 'Do you have any idea how
much I need you?'
- and then she kisses him, nuzzles his cheek, and -
- rests her head on his chest, none which is scripted for Scene 71A or Scene 135 or, more likely, a nonexistent Scene 135A. So who knows why things are done that way in the film? DC may have simply thought Scene 71A wasn't needed where it was placed in the script (possibly because it's part of a montage or romantic moments between Quentin and Tracy) and it worked better following Scene 135 with Scene 135's bit of dialogue. I suppose we'll never know. But things do indeed work well the way they are.

He puts down his brush.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 67/Scene 134 - Quentin: 'How about you and I getting out of this house? We'll take a walk.'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 67/Scene 134 - Tracy: 'Perfect.'
End of scene.
And as far as the differences in the dialogue, the directions, and the descriptions go, because Scene 134 isn't currently in the film, we have no way of knowing what might be different.
And coming up tomorrow we'll revisit something that I brought up back in March with regard to Scene 71A but said we wouldn't deal with until we reached Scene 135...
