The next quote in the slideshow will be from Scene 97, so there are a lot of scenes to deal with before we get there:
90 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT 90
Tracy and Quentin are asleep in the B.G. Through the window, the Tower Room is visible. As we watch, a faint glow begins to appear. Quentin begins to stir. Finally, he opens his eyes and looks up at the tower. Then getting out of bed, he puts on his robe and EXITS the room.
91 INT - SECOND FLOOR - CORRIDOR 91
as Quentin comes TOWARD CAMERA and goes up the stairs toward the third floor.
92 INT - TOWER ROOM - NIGHT 92
The room glows with a strange iridescent light. Slowly, the door begins to open by itself revealing Quentin coming up the stairs, As he ENTERS the room he stops at the doorway - a look of great anticipation on his face. TRUCK IN ON HIS CLOSE-UP.
ANGELIQUE - QUENTIN'S P.O.V.
A strangely opalescent Angelique lies there holding her arms out to him. HOLD ON THIS as he goes to her ghostly embrace.
93 INT - FOYER - NIGHT
The foyer is dark as the door opens and an angry Gerard quietly ENTERS. He carries a vicious- looking club.
94 INT - FIRST FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT 94
CAMERA TRUCKS IN FRONT OF HIM as he comes toward the stairs.
95 INT - TOWER ROOM STAIRS - NIGHT 95
as Gerard moving noiselessly slowly climbs to the closed door. He pauses to listen. The SOFT SOUNDS OF LOVEMAKING can be heard. TRUCK IN ON HIS FACE. It is now insane with jealous rage. Now
95 CONTD CONTD 95
there is the SOUND OF ANGELIQUE'S LAUGHTER and finally he explodes. Throwing the door open, he sees Angelique and Quentin locked in a passionate embrace.
96 INT - TOWER ROOM - NIGHT - HAND-HELD 96
In one cat-like move Gerard attacks. He and Quentin are on the floor with Gerard about to beat his brains out. All of a sudden he SHRIEKS IN PAIN as the ghostly figure of Angelique claws him again and again. Blood shows on his face as he drops his club and tries to protect himself, In an instant Quentin is all over him and there is no doubt about his intentions. He is trying to kill him.
Throughout the fight INTERCUT QUICK SHOTS of Gabriel in the place of Gerard, These will look like all the other memory cuts and will always be from Quentin's P.O.V. so that it looks like he thinks he is fighting Gabriel.
97 INT - TOWER STAIRWAY 97
as the two of them come crashing down the stairs INTO CAMERA, Quentin ends up on top, choking the life out of Gerard.
QUENTIN She's mine, brother!...She's mine!
|
And as for what's different when it comes to the dialogue, Quentin's line as he chokes Gerard is dropped in the film. However, it was a part of the original Movies Quotes Slideshow:
NoDS: Scene #97 - Quentin (to Gerard): 'She's mine brother!
...She's mine!' And as for what's different in the descriptions and directions, at the outset of Scene 90, we do not see Tracy and Quentin asleep in the background because the scene begins immediately with a shot of the Tower Room visible through the window, and it isn't until after we see the glow appear in the Tower Room windows that we see Quentin and Tracy asleep - and almost immediately upon seeing them we see Quentin open his eyes, but he doesn't look at the Tower Room immediately because he simply stares into space for several beats before he begins to sit up in bed and then turn toward the direction of the window - and we do not see Quentin actually get out of bed, or put on his robe, or exit the room. And when it comes to Scene 91, a dressed Quentin is seen walking away from the camera before he turns to begin to go up a set of stairs - and then we see his P.O.V. as he makes his way -
- through a corridor. And when it comes to Scene 92, at first we actually see the unfinished portrait of Angelique and the empty couch as both -
- are bathed in the glow of candles before the camera pans over to show the door to the Tower Room open, and before we see Quentin, we actually see his shadow as -
- he gets closer and closer to the open door - and Quentin does not stop at the doorway or have a look of great anticipation on his face, nor is there a close-up on his face because he simply enters the room and moves toward Angelique -
- whose ghost has suddenly appeared on the couch. And when it comes to Scene 93, DC's script actually crosses out the establishment of the scene taking place in the foyer and draws an arrow up from Scene 94 to indicate that both the events of Scenes 93 & 94 take place in the first floor corridor - also we don't actually see Gerard's face come through the doors on the first floor corridor -
- only his legs - it isn't until he reaches the stairs -
- that we see his face. And we actually see more of Quentin and Angelique -
- making out before Scene 95 comes up and we see Gerard making his way up the Tower Room stairs - and while we once again see Quentin and Angelique making out, we do not hear the sounds of lovemaking as Gerard pauses to listen or the sound of Angelique laughing as Gerard finally explodes - though we also don't see Gerard throw open the door or see Quentin and Angelique locked in a passionate embrace. What actually takes place is that at the outset of Scene 96 we see Quentin and Angelique making out when suddenly Quentin pulls away from Angelique to turn -
- and look behind him to see the irate Gerard -
- brandishing the club - but when Gerard attacks him, Quentin doesn't fall onto the floor, he falls backward onto the couch -
- and he already sees -
- Gerard as Gabriel - and we see Angelique rush to scratch both the faces of Gabriel -
- and Gerard -
- but we don't hear Gerard shriek in pain - and after Gerard has become disoriented by Angelique's attack is when Quentin gets up from the couch and begins to fight Gerard, often seeing him as Gabriel. And when it comes to Scene 97, after Gerard tumbles down the tower stairway, Quentin violently kicks him down even further, and Gerard desperately tries to get away only to be tackled by Quentin, it is Gabriel -
- that Quentin continues to see as he chokes Gerard.
