And even more with Scene 88.
First up:
After Carlotta asks if they'll be having brandy in the Gallery, Quentin defers with a possibly improvised "Alex?", which the closed captioning reflects -
- but for some odd reason the subtitles has -
- and Alex replies to Quentin with "Uh, not me, pal. I'm up with the sun these days," which is a reworking of what's scripted, and for the most part the subtitles has most of it -
- but the closed captioning only has -
- and that's followed by an unscripted exchange between Quentin and Alex with Quentin asking, "Sure?" and Alex replying, "Positive," which both the subtitles and the closed captioning acknowledge -
And there's yet more to come...

Today's shot might be my favorite image of Grayson in the movie. I used a version of the shot in a collage I did of Grayson in various roles a few years ago.
...
Yes, I love the shot too.
Thank heavens DC changed his mind and didn't shoot those moments from over Carlotta's shoulder!!
And Carlotta has her cat that copped the cream look.
As if she's thinking, "oh if you only knew... you poor fool!"
And yet more of Scene 88, picking up with today's first quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Quentin: 'Oh, Carlotta, Charles Collins --'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
She turns and looks at him.
And that's where today's second quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Carlotta: 'Yes, sir?'
- comes up, followed by today's third quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Quentin: 'I found some of his work in the tower room.'
-coming up, followed by today's fourth quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Carlotta: 'Oh?'
- coming up - followed by today's fifth quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Quentin: 'Do you know anything about his history?'
- coming up.
And as for what's different in the dialogue, rather than the first quote, Quentin actually and simply says "Carlotta" - and Carlotta actually and simply responds "Yes" - after which Quentin actually says "I found some old painting of Charles Collins in the tower room" - to which Carlotta does indeed respond with "Oh?", like it's a surprise to her (but we know she was just waiting for that to happen) - and then Quentin does indeed ask about Charles' history as written.
And when it comes to what is different with the descriptions and directions, there's nothing to get into so far as what's scripted, but I do have to say that as often as I've watched the film, I'd never really noticed until I was picking the captures for today that after Quentin puts the riding breeches down on the dining table, just like the typical wife, Tracy picks them up and neatly folds them into her lap so that they don't get wrinkled. I suppose in all the other viewing I was too focused on Quentin and Carlotta's exchange.
And oddly again DC's script has a notation for a 2 shot of Alex and Claire (after Carlotta turns to look at Quentin) that isn't in the film.
And continuing with more of Scene 88, picking up with Carlotta's answer as today's quote:Page 39/Scene 88 - Carlotta: 'He was a marvelous man, a brilliant artist.'
And so far as what's different in the dialogue in the film, Carlotta actually says "Yes, I do. He was a marvelous man, a brilliant artist."
And so far as what's different with the descriptions and directions, there's nothing to get into because there aren't any descriptions or directions in this portion of the script. However, DC has a notation for this line in his script that says it would be shot over Carlotta's shoulder and showing Alex, Quentin and Tracy. But being shot over her shoulder is obviously not the way it was done because in the film Carlotta is seen in close-up, which is much more effective. There really isn't a true over the shoulder shot in the entire scene.
The interesting thing about the notation in DC's script about doing a shot of Alex, Quentin and Tracy over Carlotta's shoulder is that after Carlotta says Charles was marvelous and brilliant, the next shot in Scene 88 is one of those three, though as can be seen in this capture -
- it isn't shot over Carlotta's shoulder. And as soon as Alex begins to deliver today's quote -Page 39/Scene 88 - Alex: 'You sound as if you know him.'
- (though he actually says "You almost sound like you know him, Carlotta" in the film), the camera pans to show Carlotta, as can be seen in -
- today's capture.
