And here's another example of a music cue that rightfully doesn't play as part of a scene on the VHS but does in every other release of the film. We've already dealt with two such cues: one at the end of Scene 103 when Scene 104 was cut in the 94 and 97 minute versions of the film but does appear in the 129 minute version, and another at the opening of Scene 117 when Scene 116 was cut in the 94 and 97 minute versions of the film but does appear in the 129 minute version. And this time around we're dealing with the opening of Scene 153:
Here we have the Laser version:
And here we have the Blu-ray to represent every other version:
The cue heard on the Blu-ray and others other than the VHS/Laser is obviously a segue from the end of Scene 150 (which only appears in the 129 minute version of the film - all other versions go from Scene 149 to Scene 153, as can be seen in the Laser and Blu-ray clips) -
- to the opening of Scene 153...

Moving on to the next three scenes:
150 INT - TOWER ROOM - NIGHT 150
Quentin stands leaning with his back against the
door. PAN WITH HIM as he crosses to Charles' un-
finished painting which is now on his easel. It is
obvious that he has progressed the painting himself
in the original style. He picks up his brush, does
something, then looks O.S.; he smiles. SLOWLY PAN
in the direction of his gaze to reveal the strangely
opalescent Angelique, who lies on the cot, holding
out her arms to him.
QUENTIN - MEDIUM ANGLE
PAN WITH HIM as he crosses to her.
And that's when today's quote -Page 71/Scene 150 - Quentin: 'How could I have ever thought you were a dream?'
- comes up...
...
- to the opening of Scene 153...
