Moving on to Scene 29:
29 INT - DRAWING ROOM - DAY 29
A Carlotta-led tour is in progress. Tracy stands at the piano, toying with the keyboard, as Quentin examines a piece of sculpture with a professionally- amused eye. Carlotta is holding forth.

- coming up, followed by Thursday's quote -
Page 9/Scene 29 - Tracy (trying out one of the sofas): 'Oh, no! We can't let the house down. Why don't we call Claire and Alex. Tea in the drawing room with the lord of the manor.'
- coming up, followed by Friday's quote -
Page 9/Scene 29 - Quentin (to Carlotta): 'Oh, did you tell the Jenkins' we'd be here today?'

End of scene.
And so far there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written - and while there are no notations worthy of mention in DC's script, Grayson's has something that will be mentioned below.
And when it comes to anything different with the dialogue, as far as the first three quotes, the only thing that's different is a few words are rearranged or dropped here and there, but nothing that changes the point of anything - however, when it comes to Quentin's scripted line asking Carlotta if she'd told the Jenkins they would be arriving, that line is actually given to Tracy in the film - and when Carlotta doesn't reply because her attention is deeply fixated elsewhere (and we'll get into that below), Tracy delivers an unscripted "Carlotta, did you tell the Jenkins we'd be here?" - and after Carlotta shakes her fixation, what she actually replies is "No, I'm sorry. I didn't know that's what you wanted" - and then with a smile she follows that with an unscripted "Come, let me show you the rest of the house" - and Tracy replies with an unscripted "All right."
And so far as the directions and descriptions go, as can be seen in this capture -
- Scene 29 doesn't start off with Tracy standing at the piano, toying with the keyboard, or with Quentin examining a piece of sculpture because it's actually Quentin who sits at the piano and toys with the keyboard - and as alluded to above, at the point that Quentin begins to play the piano Grayson writes in her script "Q is playing chords on the piano. Moment of my recognition" (which certainly seems to point out that Grayson was aware when she made the notation that the sequence of Carlotta watching Quentin and Tracy's arrival and reacting to seeing Quentin's face was not going to be shot) - and as can be seen in the following capture -
- rather than trying out one of the sofas, Tracy actually comes over to the piano when she suggests they call Claire and Alex and invite them for tea - and after Carlotta suggests she show them the rest of the house, she moves to leave the room with Tracy following and Quentin gets up from the piano to also follow.
