Revisiting how DS's script's version of Scene 68 is scripted:
And setting up DC's script's version of Scene 68:
FLASH CUT TO:
68 INT. DRAWING ROOM - DAY - 1971 68
Tracy stands in the doorway She looks at Quentin.
And that's when today's quote -Page 28/Scene 68 - Tracy (O.S.): 'Darling, are you all right?'
- comes up.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, we have no way of knowing for sure at this point because this scene also doesn't appear in the film as it stands - though it does appear in the 129 minute version - but DC's script has a notation that the scene would actually start on a close-up of Quentin and we would hear Tracy's voice off screen. And DC is actually the one who added the "(O.S.)" next to Tracy's name when it comes to today's quote.
And wrapping up DC's script's version of Scene 68, beginning with today's quote -Page 28/Scene 68 - Quentin: 'Yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I be? I was just waiting for you.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
TRACY
I'm ready. Come on. It's a beautiful
day.
End of scene.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, as has already been said, we have no way of knowing for sure at this point - but DC's script has more notations. He indicates that Quentin would turn to Tracy after she asks if he's all right, and the camera would pan Quentin to a two shot.
