If you want to learn about or refresh your memory concerning the background of today's quote -

- this post for, among other things, seemingly more improvised dialogue...
A second reference to the never seen Gregory.
And something that's interesting about Scene 88 (and 89) for me is that I have never (and perhaps no one has ever) seen one still from the scene/sequence. Not that I've seen stills from every scene. Off the top of my head, I've never seen any stills from Scenes 30 through 32 (Carlotta leads Tracy and Quentin to the stairs and up to the second floor), but at least those scenes are part of the whole sequence of Carlotta introducing Quentin and Tracy to Collinwood and those scenes are probably the least important in the sequence. But other than those scenes I would be hard pressed to come up with a scene/sequence, particularly a mostly stand alone scene like Scene 88's dining room scene, where there isn't at least one still of it that's been circulated. Just an observation.
And speaking of observations, does it strike anyone else as odd that Alex claims that he and Claire "are broke"? Apparently they've written at least a few successful novels, one of which we learn at the end of the film is being made into a "major motion picture." Either they must have a terrible agent who negotiates terrible contracts for them or they must spend money like water. Or both. Who knows? But if they are broke, no wonder they need to live rent free.
