Vicki sips from a goblet of wine, her eyes studying him carefully.

And that's when Tuesday's quote -
Page 104/Scene 234 - Vicki: 'Somehow, Barnabas, you manage to see the beauty in everything. (a beat) You're so ... so optimistic.'
- comes up, followed by yesterday's quote -
Page 104/Scene 234 - Barnabas: 'The ability to hope, and to wait, are two of life's most rewarding virtues.'
- coming up, followed by today's quote -
Page 104/Scene 234 - Vicki (smiles): 'Especially if there's something worth waiting and hoping for.'
- coming up, followed by the script continuing with:
They look at each other, a long beat. Somewhere in the house a CLOCK begins to CHIME the hour ... breaking the moment.
Vicki glances up and then to his plate.
VICKI (CONT'D) It's late. I'd better be going, and you've hardly touched your plate.
BARNABAS (deeply sincere) The pleasure of your company, Victoria, is more than enough for me.
She smiles.
BARNABAS (CONT'D) I'll see you to Collinwood.
They get up, head for the foyer, Barnabas calls Willie.

And as for the quoted dialogue, it's basically delivered as written with only a few minor changes that aren't worth getting into - but as far as the unquoted dialogue at the end of Scene 234, with exception of Vicki saying that it's late and she should be going, none of it appears in the pilot - though as with the earlier bits of Scene 234, those later bits were shot but were edited out.
And when it comes to the direction and descriptions, Vicki does not sip from a goblet of wine - Barnabas nods after Vicki agrees with his opinion on the virtues of waiting and hoping - and after Vicki says that she should be going, Barnabas and Vicki rise from the table and spend a few intense moments staring into each others eyes before moving to begin leaving the room - and Barnabas does not call for Willie.
