First off in the above section of the script, in the pilot Woodard doesn't actually look at Patterson for a moment because he jumps right in and actually asks "And the girl was able to tell you nothing?" - and once Patterson explains that Daphne might never remember anything, Woodard also doesn't shake his head, he goes right into asking about how much blood Daphne lost, is quite surprised to learn it was almost half her blood volume, and then actually points out "Now, your theory is that whoever did this took it with him" - and Patterson actually pauses between saying "I know" and "It sounds crazy" - and after saying it's not necessarily crazy, Woodard leans forward in his chair and actually points out "There have been documented cases of unbalanced people who came to believe themselves to be vampires and actually drank human blood..." - and given that some have said it's a bit quick the way the actual pilot jumps to a possible vampire conclusion, it's too bad that both Patterson's "What about some kind of weird blood cult thing?" and Woodard's "That's a possibility too" is dropped in the pilot in favor of Patterson waiting a beat and then, as the unscripted sound of thunder is heard again, simply questioning with an unscripted "Two liters?", to which Woodard nods in the affirmative - and again Patterson doesn't refer to Woodard by his first name, his next lines begin with "Whatever it is" - and after delivering those lines Patterson doesn't rise from his chair as scripted because he simply picks up and gives Woodard the manila envelope, after which he actually says "That's a full report, all the details" - and after removing the papers from the envelope, Woodard looks at Patterson and assures him "I'll get on it right away" - and after more unscripted thunder, rather than having Woodard escort Patterson out (because they're both still sitting while also being shot from up above again), Patterson thanks Woodard with an unscripted "As always, I appreciate it", to which Woodard nods. End of scene.
