Referring back to the still in Reply #604, as hinted at in the screen cap in Reply #605, Quentin doesn't come down the stairs as he's seen in the still with his hands on his hips, the whole time he's coming down, he's buttoning his shirt:
Why do I suspect that he didn't have his shirt undone (and perhaps even more than that) because in the middle of the night it was hot in the tower due to the temperature outside? Why might we believe instead that any heat generated in the tower was most probably between Quentin and Angelique? And I wonder if when the still was shot David Selby and/or DC hadn't yet thought of having Quentin descend the stairs while buttoning his shirt. Perhaps it was something that simply popped into Selby's and/or DC's head(s) while shooting and they tried it for a take and that take is the one they went with for the film...
And there's a reason I went with a clip with subtitles - but more on that in a later post...
