Wrapping up Scene 238 and moving beyond, beginning with today's quote -
Page 110/Scene 238 - Carlotta (as she looks over the side): 'She needs me.'
coming up, followed in the script by:
239 THE GROUND BELOW - CARLOTTA'S P.O.V. 239
On the ground far below stands the ghost-like figure of Angelique. her arms outstretched as she beckons Carlotta to her death.
240 EXT - PARAPET - NIGHT 240
as Alex takes another step toward Carlotta, she turns and plummets from the tower. The only SOUND is that of the MOANING WIND.
FAST ZOOM to Angelique on the ground below.

End of scripted tower sequence - though in the film that isn't the last we see of Carlotta. But more on that in an upcoming post.
And as far as the descriptions and directions go, everything plays pretty much exactly as scripted with the only difference being that there's a zoom to Angelique both times we see her.
And as far as the dialogue goes, Carlotta's quote doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands.
And Grayson has a note in her script that as Cartlotta decides to jump, she trusts in her love for Angelique.
And as an aside, for some reason I've always loved this still:
And being the trouper that she was, I'm sure Grayson did her own stunt and dived off the tower to an inflatable bag below, right? ... No ... Well, you believe what you believe and I'll believe what I believe!!
