Season 3 premiere (all four episodes): A young woman seeks connection with a mysterious online friend; a model stops at nothing to achieve success; a blind date goes awry; Seth Gabel (Fringe), Lisa Rinna (Days of Our Lives), Reid Scott (Veep) and Emily Browning (American Gods) star. |
But, who would Quentin Collins go out as on Halloween, ... or even Maynard G. Krebs from “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis”? I just don’t know?

80 INT - SARAH'S ROOM 80
It is obviously a child's room. Carlotta stands on
the other side of the four poster bed. She is
straightening the stuffed animals that are propped
there.
80 CONTD CONTD 80
And that's when today's quote -Page 30A/Scene 80 - Quentin: 'I saw a little girl in that window.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to the difference in the dialogue, Quentin actually says "I saw a little girl standing here by the window."
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, we don't see Carlotta straightening any stuffed animals because what actually happens is that after he's picked up the doll, Quentin walks over to Carlotta, who's on the other side of the fourposter bed, as described in the script, and she takes the doll from him before he tells her about seeing the little girl. Also, as we saw in the last capture in yesterday's post, the bed has several dolls strewn across it.
And as we saw with the description of Scene 75 and now with Scene 80, the script leaves little doubt that this second floor room was indeed Sarah's. Perhaps she enjoyed special status because she was so close to Angelique.
And there's already quite a bit that's different in DC's script from the way things are in Grayson's, but there's going to be so much more, so I'll get into all the differences after we deal with all of Scene 80 as it appears in DC's script...
A bit more of Scene 80, beginning with Carlotta's reply to Quentin's claim to having seen a little girl in the window:
CARLOTTA
Little girl?
Quentin crosses to the window and looks out.
QUENTIN
I was outside --
CARLOTTA
I know.
And that's when today's quote -Page 30A/Scene 80 - Carlotta: 'I saw you from the window.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, Carlotta actually questions with "A little girl?" - and Quentin actually replies with "Yes, I was outside --" - to which Carlotta begins to respond by saying "Yes, I know."
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, while Quentin crosses out of frame toward the window, we don't actually see Quentin look out it because the camera remains on Carlotta and, as can be seen in today's capture -
- actually pushes in on a close-up of her as she looks at Quentin very closely.
And there are notations in both DC's and Grayson's scripts for this section:
DC writes that the camera will stay on Carlotta, which is obviously how it was shot - but he also writes that we will see Quentin's P.O.V. outside when he looks out the window, which is not how it was shot. The two notes would seem to contradict each other, so who knows?
And Grayson writes a notation along the top of the page of her script that Quentin is still something, but the rest gets cut off in the copy of the script that I have () - but she also writes that Carlotta will react with great tolerance to what Quentin is telling her.
Dealing with ... DC's script's version of Scene 79 (yes, Scenes 79 & 80 are more instances where scenes are somewhat different in DC's and Grayson's scripts):
79 INT - UPSTAIRS CORRIDOR - DAY 79
as Quentin runs TOWARD CAMERA and pulls open a door to
one of the bedrooms.
And that's when today's quote -Page 30/Scene 79 - Carlotta (O.S.): 'Did you wish something, Mr Collins?'
- comes up - however, in DC's script it's seen as:
Oh Mr Collins you startled me
CARLOTTA (O.S.)Did you wish something, Mr Collins?
I was just straightening up the room
And when it comes to what's different with the dialogue, DC's changes are indeed what Carlotta actually says in Scene 79. Though what's interesting is that the changes aren't written in when it comes to Grayson's script. She simply has two notations: one that says "Busy in the room" and another that says "He's not ready yet -"
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, ... - and when it comes to Scene 79, Quentin doesn't run toward the camera or pull open a door to one of the bedrooms because as we can see in the following captures -
- Quentin is actually seen running up the stairs -
- as the camera pans with him as he makes his way to the bedroom -
- and once inside the bedroom he picks up a doll that has somehow fallen to the floor, the same doll that Sarah was holding.
...
And it's also worth noting that this is the only sequence in the script that isn't actually passed over when the film as it stands now jumps from Scene 62 to Scene 84 - it (including Scene 80) simply appears right after the sequence that begins with Scene 84 and runs through Scene 86...
"Will you marry me?" he asks. Kitty's eyes grow huge. Does the idea terrify you, too? he asks. She considers a moment and says no, it doesn't, I understand somehow that it's what I must do, whoever I am. Then you will marry me? he asks. Yes, she says, as soon as possible. I'll arrange for the wedding this evening, he says, overjoyed. Yes, Kitty agrees eagerly. Wait until I return, he says. I'm afraid, says Kitty. No harm will come to you, he assures her. I hope not, says Kitty. He squeezes her hands, then leaves his bride to be. Kitty looks very uncertain.
I tape recorded that appearance but I have no idea if I still have it or if I taped over it.
I don't think we have to worry about Uncle Roger, says Carolyn, moving he drink in circles--he's much more concerned about other things right now--I think he's interested in Vicki, seriously. Burke pops a cigarette into his mouth, but takes it out to ask, "What makes you say that? He wanted to know where she'd gone this afternoon, just because she had some errand in town--he couldn't even wait for her to come home, he went driving off right after her." Burke lights his cigarette. Roger and Vicki, that's an unusual combination, opines Burke. Not so unusual, really, says Carolyn, I guess they're both pretty lonely. So Roger went looking for her, says Burke. Yes, and the gunny thing about it was, she was right there in the house, says Carolyn, they must have just missed each other. Why was he so anxious to see her? asks Burke. You ought to know better than to ask me a question like that, teases Carolyn.
Dealing with the scenes leading up to ... Scene 79 ...:
74 EXT - BACK OF COLLINWOOD - DAY 74
Quentin ENTERS THE SHOT and stands under the tree where
he saw the hanging figure. Still unable to understand
what is happening, he shakes his head and turns toward
the house. All of a sudden he notices something O.S.
75 EXT - SECOND FLOOR WINDOW - SARAH'S ROOM - 1800 - HIS 75
P.O.V. -
SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY CUT
FAST ZOOM to the face of Sarah, a little girl of about
ten. She is staring out the window, down at him. Then
looking away from him, she stares over his head as if
at something in the tree. Suddenly she SCREAMS with
horror.
76 EXT - COLLINWOOD - 1971 - DAY - NORMAL COLOR 76
Quentin, as he quickly looks at the tree.
77 TREE - QUENTIN'S P.O.V. - 1800 77
SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORY CUT
The hanging figure is there again.
78 EXT - COLLINWOOD - 1971 - DAY - NORMAL COLOR 78
Quentin quickly looks back at the window. WHIP PAN
with his look. It is empty.
...
And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, in Scene 74 Quentin doesn't actually shake his head because he's unable to understand what is happening because something actually comes over him as the sound of wind begins to be heard and Quentin immediately turns to look at the window - and in Scene 75 there is no zoom to the face of Sarah in the window, nor is she seen staring down at Quentin, nor does she look away from him to something over his head as if at something in the tree because we immediately see a shot of Sarah screaming in the window as she stands there holding a doll (which, when we get to Scene 80, we'll learn that the doll was originally supposed to be something else) - and in Scene 78 there is no whip pan with Quentin's look back at the window because he simply looks back and then we see that the window is empty - ....
And, yes, once again 1810 is wrongly written as "1800" in the script.
