As was pretty obvious when it came to yesterday's installment in the slideshow -
Page 62/Scene 146 - Roger (O.S.): 'LOOMIS! WHERE HAVE
YOU BEEN?!' - things changed between the script and the pilot because clearly Roger didn't deliver his lines off screen in the pilot.
Here's how things play in the script:
Suddenly, o.s., We HEAR the SOUND of a HORSE BEING RIDDEN INTO THE STABLE, and ROGER'S VOICE:
ROGER (O.S.) LOOMIS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!
Terrified, Willie turns.
147 ANOTHER ANGLE
TO INCLUDE Roger angrily dismounting from a big, black STALLION.
WILLIE (stammering) I ain't been no where, Mr. Collins.
Roger tethers his horse, strides toward Willie, grabs him by the shirt front.

However, the way things actually play out in the pilot is that after Willie tells Vicki that he doesn't want to talk to someone, he suddenly gets a terrified expression on his face, and then we see outside the stable as a stablehand holds Roger's horse as Roger dismounts from the horse and stares right at Willie through one of the windows - and Roger then moves to enter stable - and Scene 147 actually begins in the pilot with Roger startling both Vicki and Willie as he violently slaps his riding crop against the open door to the stable as he storms inside and demands, as in yesterday's quote, to know where Willie's been as he makes a beeline to Willie as Willie claims, as in today's installment of the slideshow, that he hasn't been "no where" (yes, that's the way it's written in the script) and continues with an unscripted "I swear, Mr. Collins" - and as Roger reaches out to grab Willie, Willie pleads with an unscripted "No, please." Presumably the stablehand takes care of Roger's horse, but we don't see any of that.
