Everything else about the dream sequences comes up in future sections of the script and will be dealt with then. So, we move on to revisiting how Scene 46 is scripted:
...
CUT TO:
46 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY 46
It is the following morning. Quentin is still
asleep. Tracy has just finished dressing and
now stands looking down at him. She smiles,
leans over, kisses him lightly.
TRACY
Quentin ...
He barely stirs.
Come on. It's your first day
here. Are you going to sleep
it away?
Still no response. She shakes him, still smiling.
Finally, he turns on his back, opens his eyes.
He stares at her, unsmiling, almost as if he didn't
remember her.
TRACY
Good morning!
At last Quentin smiles, reaches over and touches
her.
And that's when today's quote -Page 15/Scene 46 - Quentin: 'Hi...wake me in two hours. I'm beat.'
- comes up.
And there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written up to this point - but there is a notations in DC's script that we'll get into below...
And when it comes to any differences in the dialogue, we have no way of knowing at this point because the scene is not in the film as it currently stands.
And so far as any differences in the directions and descriptions go, again, we have no way of knowing at this point. However, there is a notation in DC's script that the scene would open on Tracy's face and then pan down with her.
...
Picking up where we left off with Scene 46:
He yawns, starts to turn over again. She stops
him with a kiss.
And that's when yesterday's quote -Page 15/Scene 46 - Tracy: 'Serves you right for wandering around last night without me.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
46 CONTD CONTD 46
QUENTIN
For doing what?
TRACY
I woke up and you weren't here.
QUENTIN
You imagined it.
And that's when today's quote -Page 16/Scene 46 - Tracy: 'We haven't been married that long. I know when you're not in my bed.'
- comes up.
...
Wrapping up Scene 46, beginning with yesterday's quote, Quentin's reply to Tracy:Page 16/Scene 46 - Quentin: 'Well, I was and all night, dreaming very strange dreams.'
- which is followed by the script continuing with:
He struggles into a half-sitting position.
And that's when today's quote -Page 16/Scene 46 - Tracy: 'I won't fight with you. Ever. Now get up.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
She EXITS as the CAMERA TRUCKS IN TO HIS CLOSE-UP.
His eyes are very far away as he tries to remember
the "Dream".
End of scene.
