Next up, Scenes 207 & 208, in which things that were scripted never actually take place:
...
207 EXT - COUNTRYSIDE - NIGHT - QUENTIN 207
In their search they have split up. As Quentin, now alone, reacts to the DISTANT HORN, he looks about, then moves off in the direction of the SOUND.
208 INT - JEEP - NIGHT 208
as Tracy puts up a valiant struggle, Gerard suddenly reaches for the door. Opening it, he throws her out of the car and onto the ground. As she tries to scramble to her feet, he jumps on top of her. Then clutching her face with both his hands, he brutally forces his lips on hers.

So, in Scene 207, since the horn has yet to sound, all we actually see is Quentin run down a pathway, come to a stop, and look around.
And when it comes to Scene 208, what we see all depends on the version of the film that's seen, but in any case it's not really at all like what's scripted. What happens in the 94 minute version of the film is the scene consists of Gerard kissing Tracy until she can reach for and push the horn- and both the subtitles -
- and the closed captioning -
- acknowledge the horn sounds - (but once again if I'm remembering correctly from having seen the 97 minute version, in that and the 129 minute version, along with more thigh/crotch "action," we actually see Gerard remove his hand from Tracy's mouth, and as she quivers he moves in to kiss her - however, Tracy uses the kiss as a distraction to stroke his cheek simply as a ploy to move her hand so as to be able to reach the truck's horn and push it - and I made a video with extended audio -

...
- unfortunately, though, none of what I describe as missing is really discernible because all we really hear in the audio is the sounds of the crickets and some breathing - but it does give a good idea of how long the cut footage lasts.) - and the video also shows Scene 209 and the very start of Scene 210, but those won't be dealt with until next time...
