Before we get to today's quote, it needs to be mentioned that in response to Roger's statement of confusion, Barnabas asks:
BARNABAS
By my visit?
However, we chose not to include that in the slideshow in favor of including a more interesting quote from the ones available in the script/pilot for July.
And as for today's quote -
Page 33 - Roger: 'By you. I've had the world's top genealogists research our lineage. Unless they missed something, you seem to have fallen off the family tree.'
- the way it's actually said in the pilot is "By you. You see I know our lineage and unless I'm missing something, you must have fallen off the family tree." That makes it a much more personal knowledge. And Roger finishes that off almost with a laugh. (And it's great to see Roger using the word "must" - certainly a favorite if not
the favorite word of the Collinses (and several of their cohorts) in the original show.
)
