Before we get to today's quote, the script continues with Scene 5 and the start of Scene 6:
5 INT. BEDROOM
As she enters TO REVEAL ... ELIZABETH COLLINS STODDARD, the mistress of Collinwood ... arranging a vase of fresh cut flowers.
Middle 60s, still attractive, with a proud aristocratic bearing, Elizabeth is a woman of great strength and determination yet one can see a fleeting echo of pain etched in the sharp lines around her mouth.
MRS. JOHNSON I've done everything I can to make it comfortable.
She crosses into the bathroom to put the towels on a shelf.
LIZ Those Turkish pillows in the storage room. Perhaps a few of them on the sofa --
Mrs. Johnson crosses back into the room, looks it over.
(CONTINUED)
Revised 2/28/90
5 CONTINUED:
MRS. JOHNSON I hope she likes it ... a young woman from New York.
Elizabeth sets down the vase on the dresser.
LIZ It will feel odd having a stranger in the house.
MRS. JOHNSON Forgive me for saying so, Mrs. Collins, but I’m sure you made the right decision.
CAROLYN (O.S.) You can say that again.
6 ANOTHER ANGLE
TO REVEAL CAROLYN STODDARD, Elizabeth's young (18), pretty, blonde daughter entering the room.

Though,again, as anyone who has seen the pilot knows, Mrs. Johnson doesn't go into the bathroom - she puts the towels down on a chair. Also, Carolyn doesn't deliver her first line from off screen - that bit moves to Scene 6 as we see Carolyn entering the room, which brings us to today's quote -
Page 3/Scene 6 - Carolyn: 'I can't wait for this lady to get here. Because if I have to chase after David one more time, I'm gonna lock the twerp in a cage and nuke the keys.
- which is not what Carolyn actually says in the pilot. She says "I hope she brings a whip and a chair... that's the only thing I haven't tried with David."
