Revisiting how Scene 70 is scripted:
...
70 INT - GREENHOUSE - DAY 70
as they walk around looking it over. TRUCK WITH
THEM and then let them EXIT SHOT. HOLD FOR a
moment until in the distance, seen through the
distortion of the greenhouse glass, the figure of
a girl in a long period dress stands watching them.
70 CONTD CONTD 70
And that's when today's quote -Page 29/Scene 70 - Quentin (O.S.): (putting on airs, kidding) 'I'm getting bored. Shall we have drinks on the veranda?'
- comes up.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, you know the story already, so no need to repeat it again - though Scene 70 does appear in the 129 minute version. And there are no notations in DC's script for this scene.
It's also worth noting that this picnic sequence is what's referred to in the DS Companion as something they wished had been in the film as it was released so as to show scenes of Quentin and Tracy being happy. But alas...
(And as an aside, I'll be sharing another candid shot from the day Scenes 69 & 70 were shot - but because it also relates to upcoming stuff that begins with Scene 107, I'm going to hold off until after that scene comes up in the script...)
Wrapping up Scene 70 ... -Page 29/Scene 70 - Tracy (O.S.): (joyfully laughing) 'Oh! I can't stand it! What a way to live!'
- coming up, ...
