Starting off Scene 73:
DISSOLVE TO:
73 EXT - FRONT OF COLLINWOOD - DAY 73
Tracy and Claire are in Claire's car. They are
about to pull away as Quentin comes out of the house
and crosses to them.
QUENTIN
Hey -- where you going?
And that's when today's quote -Page 29/Scene 73 - Claire: 'We're going to town. It's about time I showed her the shops.'
- comes up.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, again, you know the story already, so no need to repeat it. And no notations or crossing out in DC's script to indicate Scene 73 wouldn't be shot. And to be truthful, I'm not 100% certain the scene wasn't shot. I'm mostly basing that on the fact that none of the upcoming scenes involving Tracy and Claire's shopping spree were shot, and none of those scenes are crossed out either, yet we know for certain that they weren't shot. So, if all those scenes were never shot, why shoot the scene setting them up? Unfortunately though, and in an effort of full disclosure, unlike those upcoming scenes, I've never come across anything that specifically says Scene 73 was never shot. But while we know it's not in the 94 and 97 minute versions of the film, it's also not on Darren Gross' list of the "lost" scenes that were shot but not included in the 129 minute version. ...
Wrapping up Scene 73:
TRACY
Want to come?
And that's when today's quote -Page 29/Scene 73 - Quentin: 'I've got to start doing some work. Do you realize we've been here over a week now?'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
73 CONTD CONTD 73
TRACY
Can I help it if you sleep away
the day? OK. Do good work --
I'll see you later.
She pecks him on the cheek as they drive off.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, again, you know the story already, so no need to repeat it. Though the reference to Quentin sleeping away the day would seem to confirm that he's still being drawn to the Tower Room and that was indeed the significance of Scene 72. And it's interesting that Scene 73 would have let us know that over a week has passed since Quentin and Tracy arrived at Collinwood.
I didn't care for many of the ideas she came up with for "Angelique's Descent," so I never read any of her subsequent novels (though I think I bought the second one).
Dave puts away the equipment and takes back the slide, explaining that he hopes to find similarities in Willie's blood and Maggie's, and would then more closely investigate Willie. Barnabas warns Woodard to be careful--the man who broke into his office had great strength, after all.
