Regarding today's quotes -
Book One/Issue Three/Page 8 - Liz: 'ACTUALLY, IT'S A
COPY PAINTED BY--' - and -
Book One/Issue Three/Page 8 - Roger: '--PAINTED BY
ANOTHER ARTIST.' - and -
Book One/Issue Three/Page 8 - Vicki: 'IT'S VERY GOOD.' - this is how they play in the pilot's script -
...
- whereupon the script indicates -
Elizabeth turns to Roger, smiles.

- which is when Liz answers with Saturday's second quote -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Liz: 'Actually, it's a copy... It was painted by...'
- before Roger interrupts with Sunday's first quote -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Roger: (overriding, curtly) 'It was painted by another artist.'
- to which the script explains -
Elizabeth gives him a quick glance and frowns.

- and then Vicki comments -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Vicki: 'Well it's very good.'
- with Sunday's second quote - ...
- and as you can see, the comic combined Liz' two lines into one, dropping the "It was" - and the comic also dropped the "It was" from Roger's line - and it dropped the "Well" from Vicki's line - but interestingly enough each of those quotes is delivered exactly as scripted in the pilot - the differences between the script and the pilot are -
...
... Though, of course, on the restored MPI VHS not everything plays out quite the way it does in the script. The largest differences are that Liz doesn't turn to smile at Roger when Vicki brings up the painting but rather looks toward the painting as she begins to explain before Roger cuts her off and she gives him a puzzled look, which doesn't escape Vicki. And after all that, Vicki walks over to examine the painting closer before she turns back to say how good she thinks the painting is. ...
- and the biggest differences in the comic are that Liz is standing rather than sitting throughout and Vicki is studying the painting as all three quotes are delivered - and so here are how the three actually look as they play in the pilot -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Liz: 'Actually, it's a copy... It was
painted by...' - and -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Roger: (overriding, curtly) 'It was
painted by another artist.' - and -
Page 22/Scene 39 - Vicki: 'Well it's very good.'
