Good! In fact, Catherine's scar is on the left side of her face.

Step 5 of 5

One last episode, although this game could go on and on an on... but you can continue on your own, if you want, as the scripts are there at your disposal for your personal exploration. But now, I know that you want to hurry up to the treasure, so here it is.

A different ending to an episode that showed how the different worlds and destinies of Vincent and Catherine struggle to get together. At the beginning of the episode, Catherine goes to Vincent telling him that she has to make a choice. Easy, isn't it?
This is the ending scene. The filmed one  is beautiful, but the original script explains much better what passed between them. The link is hidden in two places this time, reversed in the actual episode. Click either one, they're the same.


73 INT. VINCENT’S CHAMBER - DAY 73

Several days have passed, and Vincent’s convalescence is evident: he sits in a chair, reading in the soft light, when Cathy enters. There’s a tentativeness between them.

CATHY
Father tells me you’re better.
(off Vincent’s nod)
I’m glad.

She sits nearby on the edge of Vincent’s bed. Something weighs heavily on both of them, something between them that is unspoken and unfinished.

CATHY
Vincent...

VINCENT
Please, Catherine. Don’t. The first goodbye was too much.
(bows his head)
Thank you far coming to see me...

CATHY
No --

Vincent stops, and slowly raises his eyes to her.

CATHY
This isn’t a goodbye.
(beat)
Vincent, I was wrong to think I could solve anything by running away.
(then, off Vincent’s look of hopeful anticipation)
I’m not leaving.

Vincent’s heart swells with joy, but caution creeps into his voice.

VINCENT
I would never want to keep you from fulfilling your life... your dreams.

CATHY
Don’t you see? You’re part of my life... and my dreams.
(then)
I was trying to deny that.

Vincent silently acknowledges this as the source of his hurt.

VINCENT
And now?

CATHY
I have to learn to accept what’s between us...

After a long beat:

VINCENT
Then welcome home...

Cathy smiles. They regard each other tenderly in the warm light, as we:

FADE OUT


THE END


Siiigh... how telling is this scene? I'm sure it happened... and THEN they started to read Wordsworth. But before, they exchanged... something.
