The way the script describes the next section of the scene is:
Willie pries at the chains, the links BURSTING APART in puffs of rust-red powder. Throwing the chains back, Willie puts his shoulder against the heavy lid. It rises on ancient hinges, the flickering torchlight illuminating
A WITHERED CORPSE INSIDE.At that point Willie is scripted to deliver today's quote -
Page 19 - Willie: 'What the hell...'
- and then the script goes on to describe:
Face and eyes are sunken, hands folded on its chest, clutching at a
JEWEL-STUDDED CROSS.
Her greed overwhelming, Kelly reaches into the coffin and grabs for the cross, the BLOOD from her gashed hand spattering the corpse's dead lips. She turns and holds the cross up to the torch, studying the jewels, when
THE EYES OF THE CORPSE SUDDENLY SNAP OPEN.However, things don't quite work that way in the pilot. For one, there's a great deal more dialogue. Upon Willie prying apart the chains, grunts of exertion at opening the sarcophagus, and then Willie gasping in shock at seeing the withered body:
Kelly: "Will, it's gotta be in here with him. Take this kit and help me look."
Willie: "I'm not touching that!"
Kelly: "He's dead. Help me check his pockets."
Willie (high pitched): His pockets? You check his pockets!"
Kelly: "You can make yourself useful. Search the walls."
Willie: "Fine. I'll search the walls.
And Willie does indeed find something (I honestly don't remember for sure what - if someone else does, certainly feel free to post what it is), at which point he calls out:
Willie: "Here!"
And after seeing Willie struggle:
Kelly: "Get your crowbar on it!"
But at some point during Kelly's searching through the sarcophagus while trying to get Willie to help, just as in the script, blood from Kelly's wound has dripped on the corpse's lips and, well, the "corpse" does indeed revive.
What will happen from there? Well, it may not be what you think. And then again, maybe some of it will be. But that will all wait until tomorrow...
And just to give you an idea of what the corpse looks like, here's a close shot of the head of the dummy that was created for the scene and one of the dummy fully dressed:
