The script sets things up as:
EXT. COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Spires and gables looming in the darkness.
INT. FOYER - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
There's insistent POUNDING at the door as Sophia rushes to answer. She throws the door open and STOPS IN SHOCK.And it's at that point that today's quote -
Page 31 - Sophia: 'May... I help you?'
- comes up. However, it's actually delivered simply as "May I help you?" without the hesitation. And in the pilot things then deviate from the script, which goes on to say -
The dark figure enters, his face remaining in shadow. It's the VAMPIRE, now dressed in modern clothing.VAMPIRE
I know it's late, but I'd like a
word with Mr. Collins.
Sophia finally shakes off the "spell," ushering him in.SOPHIA
I'll... get him for you. Please,
come in.
As Sophia rushes away, the Vampire takes a moment to drink in the "feel" of the mansion, starting toward the great hall.But in the pilot the "vampire" doesn't reply to Sophia before entering and, therefore, she never says that she'll go to get anyone. However, there is definite communication between Sophia and the new arrival because she does leave to announce his presence. And he does, as the script says, drink in the "feel" of the mansion as he makes his way to a room to await the family.
