Wrapping up Scene 153, beginning with Carlotta's response to Tracy telling her to mind her own business, which was also yesterday's first quote -
Page 73/Scene 153 - Carlotta: 'Certainly. If that's the way you feel -- what time will dinner be this evening? --'
- followed by yesterday's second quote -
Page 73/Scene 153 - Tracy (ready to explode): 'I don't know what time
--'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
Carlotta crosses to the door, stops, turns and looks at her.
|
And that's when today's quote -
Page 73/Scene 153 - Carlotta: 'Did you ever stop to think that perhaps you don't belong here?'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
She turns and leaves.
TRUCK IN ON Tracy as she rises, crossing to the window, where she stands, fighting back the tears.

End of scene as scripted. However, once we get to the next scenes in the script we'll see that once again things play differently in the film. But that's not until when we next pick things up in the script.
For now, so far as differences with the dialogue go, Tracy actually delivers her quoted line more like "I don't know what...time --" - and Carlotta's second quote is actually delivered as "Mrs. Collins, did you ever stop to think that perhaps you don't belong here?", making it an all the more personal remark by addressing Tracy with her name.
And so far as the differences with the descriptions and the directions go, DC's script has a note that before Carlotta asks what time dinner will be, she crosses the room as the camera pans with her, and that's exactly what happens - and as we can see in yesterday's second capture, as Tracy is telling Carlotta that she doesn't know what time dinner will be, she jumps out of the chair (as she says "I don't know what"), turns her back on Carlotta -
- and stands beside the chair (as she finishes with "time") - but afterward Carlotta doesn't cross to the door to then stop, turn and look at Tracy because she continues to stand in the exact same spot as she asks if Tracy has ever thought that perhaps she doesn't belong at Collinwood - at which point Tracy turns around to look at Carlotta -
- in complete disbelief that Carlotta would have the audacity to ask such a question - and it's not until after they stare at each other for a bit that Carlotta turns and makes her way out of the room, and I do love the slightest touch of a smile on Carlotta's face -
- as she exits, having said exactly what she's been dying to say to Tracy as she leaves Tracy standing in shock - but after Carlotta has exited, the camera doesn't truck in on Tracy as she rises because she's already standing - however, Tracy does cross to the window, but she doesn't stand, fighting back the tears, because, as can be seen in the following capture, she actually -
- sits on the window seat as she fights back the tears - and DC has another note in his script that says that Tracy turns to look at Angelique's portrait, and that's exactly -
- what happens. It's interesting that Angelique's portrait is almost as much of a character in the film as the real Angelique is because it frequently stands in for her...
