Wrapping up Scene 138 and moving beyond with scripted as well as completely unscripted material, beginning with today's first quote -
Page 68/Scene 138 - Alex: 'Tell you when we get back. You're sure you'll be OK?'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
139 INT - COLLINWOOD - LIMBO TELEPHONE AREA - NIGHT 139
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 68/Scene 139 - Tracy (on telephone): 'Go, Alex...go. Nothing bad will happen to us now.'
(Famous last words, as they say...)
- comes up.
End of things as scripted.
Switching things up a bit and leading with any differences in the scripted directions and descriptions, as we can easily tell from today's first capture -
- today's first quote takes place back at the cottage, as it was scripted to, rather than over the phone at Collinwood as had been happening earlier in the scene - and for some reason "LIMBO - TELEPHONE AREA" is presented a bit differently for Scene 139 than it was for Scene 137, and here DC doesn't cross out/replace it in his script with "CARD ROOM".
And now as far as any difference in the dialogue goes, Alex actually delivers today's first quote as "Tell you when I get back. You sure you're gonna be OK?" - but today's second quote is delivered exactly as scripted - however, unlike how things are scripted, they don't actually end there in the film. For one, as can be seen in today's second capture -
- Quentin is seen approaching the Card Room as Tracy tells Alex nothing bad will happen to her and Quentin - and then, as can seen in the following capture, things shift back to the cottage where Alex, as part of quite a bit of unscripted material, tells Tracy -
"OK, honey. I'll see ya later." - after which, as can be seen in the next capture, Claire reaches over -
- and strokes Alex' arm - and that's the end of things at the cottage, but things then shift back to Collinwood with Tracy hanging up the phone and Quentin asking -
"Who was that?" - to which Tracy replies (making it seem as if Alex called her and not the other way around) -
"Just Alex. He and Claire have to go to New York for a few
days." - as she walks over to him - and then she mentions -
"It's late. Let's go to bed." - (though apparently not too late to call Alex or too late for the Jenkins to take off for NY
) - but to that suggestion Quentin replies -
"You go ahead, I want to finish this first." - as he indicates the book he's holding and walks away - but seeing the concerned look on Tracy's face, he soon adds -
"Now go on. I'll be up soon enough." - as he walks back to her and kisses -
- her cheek - and to all that Tracy leaves as she warns -
"Don't read all night." - and that's the actual end of Scene 139 (or perhaps a Scene 139A) - and it's also the last bit of happiness between Quentin and Tracy because things are about to go downhill sooner rather than later...
Which leads us to tomorrow when we'll be getting into a whole load of scripted material, much of which is actually handled very differently in the film. But more on that then...
